UN General Assembly
1960

84. Mr. Nkrumah, the President of Ghana, also made his contribution to the work of the General Assembly [869th meeting]. His vigorous stand for the Congo, for Algeria, and for the whole of Africa has sounded a siren to all corners of the world, a siren of warning to all to leave Africa to the Africans. 85. Mr. Fidel Castro, Head of the Cuban Government in his speech [872nd meeting], strongly pleaded his cause and voiced his grievances. And this is what we are here for in the United Nations. Whether one agrees with him or not, Mr. Castro has come to the United Nations not only in field uniform, but filled with zeal, patriotism and profound conviction. If this United Nations is the parliament of man, then Mr. Castro could be the typical man.
