Sex Crimes
Since that time I have represented several other Bakongo who suffered great atrocities from the murder of close relatives to politically motivated rape. Two of the most intriguing cases were from Cabinda, an enclave near the mouth of the Congo River separated by a few miles from the rest of Angola. The politics of Cabinda is uniquely complicated, with its own liberation movement. During the Cold War the mixture of local politics and the global confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States and its allies made for one of the most bizarre and ironic political situations in the world. Cabinda is oil rich, and the Angolan government, supported by the Soviet Union, derived significant revenues from the oil fields of Cabinda. The Chevron Corporation is the major driller in Cabinda, and the Chevron oil fields were a target for guerilla fighters of the military wing of FLEC, the Cabindan Liberation Front. Because Angolan government troops were busy fighting UNITA, they appealed to the Soviet Union for help in Cabinda. The Soviet Union sought assistance from its client state, Cuba, so Cuban troops were sent to Cabinda. The incongruous result: Cuban troops circling the Chevron oil fields to protect them from FARC. Communist Cuban troops protecting a giant capitalist American oil firm!
