Kaempfendes Afrika

Medic Angola came into being in 1971 in Zurich, as a 'working group for medical support to the Angolan people'. From 1976, the group called itself Kaempfendes Afrika ('fighting Africa'), after the journal of the same name that had been published by Medic' Angola since November 1971. Kaempfendes Afrika was a political solidarity organization that devoted itself to the support of African liberation organizations in Switzerland. To this end, it set about building a dense network of contacts with several liberation organizations, especially in southern Africa. It supported these materially and financially and conducted intensive publicity activities. The group disbanded in 1988.
