Abstract
ABSTRACT: After a long and bloody war against France, Algeria gained independence on July 5, 1962. However, the relationship between Fidel Castro's government and the National Liberation Front (FLN), the main Algerian independence organization, had been a competition for anti-colonialism since then. Since the revolution of 1959, Cuba has made solidarity with peoples fighting for emancipation a cornerstone of its foreign policy. Starting in the 1960s, Cuba began supporting not only progressive forces in Latin America but also national liberation movements in the African continent, solidifying their path towards decolonization and providing concrete assistance through resource transfer, professional training, and more. From then on, we ask ourselves: What was the Cuban contribution and what does it consist of? Through this research, we aim to answer this question and highlight the history and nature of this cooperation and collaboration with Algeria, including its origins, peculiarities, and its development over time.
RESUMEN: Después de una larga y sangrienta guerra contra Francia, Argelia obtuvo la independencia el 5 de julio de 1962. Pero las relaciones entre el gobierno de Fidel Castro y el Frente de Liberación del FLN, la principal organización independentista argelina, habían sido una competencia anticolonial desde entonces. Desde la revolución de 1959, Cuba ha hecho de la solidaridad con los pueblos que luchan por la emancipación un pilar de su política exterior. Desde la década de 1960, Cuba comenzó a apoyar no solo a las fuerzas progresistas de América Latina sino también a los movimientos de liberación nacional del continente africano, que cimentaron su camino hacia la descolonización y brindaron asistencia concreta con la transferencia de recursos, formación profesional, etc. A partir de entonces nos preguntamos: ¿Cómo fue el aporte cubano y de qué está hecho? A través de esta investigación queremos dar respuesta a esta pregunta y poner de relieve la historia y naturaleza de esta cooperación y colaboración con el país argelino, sus orígenes, peculiaridades y su desarrollo en el tiempo.
