HAVANA, Cuba, April 30 (acn) The leader of the Angolan Women's Organization (OMA), Lucía Ingrés, received Cuban writer Limbania Jiménez on Wednesday. Jiménez collaborated in the sphere of education in that African country, where she lived for three years.
Ingrés and two OMA executive committee members welcomed the intellectual at the headquarters of the ruling Angolan Liberation Movement in Luanda.
Prior to the meeting, the visitor, along with Ingrés, Cuban ambassador Pedro Ross, and other diplomats from the archipelago, placed a wreath at the monument dedicated to Angolan heroines.
Jiménez is the author of the books Mujeres sin fronteras (Women without Borders) and Heroínas de Angola (Heroines of Angola), as well as co-author of A pecho limpio (Boldly).
The first of these works was initially conceived to reflect the participation of Cuban women in the Angolan conflict, but it went beyond this objective and included more than 500 internationalist women from numerous countries from Africa and Latin America.
The Cuban writer met the current president of OMA during a stay in the Congo, a country where she trained leaders of the newly created women's organization at the time in that former Portuguese colony, Prensa Latina news agency reports.
Shortly after the proclamation of Angola's liberation from colonialism, Jiménez stayed for three years in that nation.
She also thanked OMA for the help and support it has given in the battle for the release of the Five Cuban antiterrorists unjustly incarcerated in the United States since 1998.
Gerardo Hernández, René González, Fernando González, Ramón Labañino and Antonio Guerrero were condemned in Miami to severe sentences, ranking from 15 years to two life imprisonments, for monitoring the activities of Florida-based, anti-Cuban terrorist groups.
