Che in Congo? - question

[Solla]

Me and a friend of mine are wondering if it was true that Che fought in Congo. Excuse my ignorance.

[Dan Majerle]

yes

[hoffer]

he was helping the rebels of congo against the goverment

[damn the capitalism]

yes that's true !
Castro gave him many posts ,but the fact that he didn't want them ,he was responsable for the national bank ,but he failed in this job,he was the man in charge in many industries ,but the machines and the russian equipments didn't have a good qualities ,so he left this job!
He was born to be a rebel ,a revolutionary , so he didn't want to take these jobs given by Fidel, so he deided to apply his thoughts of revolution in the 3rd world countries and doing these guerilla warefare works ! he found that Congo is a suitable country and he fought with the communists there! he was told that everything was ready there ,and they got too much support and , so all this wasn't 100% true and the governemant army was strong! The fact was that he failed and he was forced to go back to Cuba,which was hard for him,because Fidel read a letter left by him (Che) in the case of abondaning the political life in cuba! So Fidel read this letter in public without taking che oppinion!

After this Che went back ,he didn't stay for a long period until he went with some revolutionaries badly trained to Bolivia!
