A PFLP delegation headed by Central Committee member Taysir
Quba’ah, including the PFLP’s representative in Cuba and comrade
Abu Jihad, paid an official visit to Nicaragua, March 18-25th, on the
invitation of the FSLN (Sandinista National Liberation Front).
Upon arrival in Managua, the
delegation was received by comrade
Alberto Gallegos, member of the
FSLN’s Central Committee, responsi-
ble for Asia, Australia and the Middle
East; and comrade Silvio, head of the
Middle East department. A working
meeting was held to discuss the delega-
tion’s agenda, and the latest
developments on the Palestinian and
Arab levels.
The delegation visited Nicaragua’s
sixth province where a meeting was held
with minister Carlos Samora,
representative of the president of
Nicaragua. The delegation then headed
for a frontline area where the revolu-
tionary army is defending Nicaragua
against the imperialist - and Israeli-
supported counterrevolutionary gangs
(contras). A full review of the contras’
crimes and sabotage against innocent
citizens was presented. The delegation:
also visited an agricultural cooperative,
and witnessed the organizational and
economic achievements of the San-
dinista revolution.
Back in Managua, the delegation met
with comrades Gustavo Morino,
member of the Sandinista Assembly,
first deputy to the head of the interna-
tional relations department, and head
of the department for Central and
Latin America and _ liberation
movements; Jose Pasos, second deputy
to the head of the international rela-
tions department, and head of party
political relations in the Asia, Africa
and Australia department; and Alberto
Gallegos. The talks focused on the
political situation in Nicaragua and
Central America, examining the con-
spiracies of imperialism, ‘Israel’ and
their local agents. The talks also dealt
with how to consolidate and develop
the bilateral relations between the
FSLN and the PFLP.
The PFLP delegation also met with
Commandante Tomas Borge, the
historical leader of the FSLN. They in-

formed him of the latest developments
in the Palestinian and Arab arenas, and
the efforts of the imperialist-Zionist-
Arab reactionary alliance to liquidate
the PLO, the Palestinian people’s sole,
legitimate representative. The delega-
tion assured the Sandinista leadership
of the PFLP’s intentions to restore
Palestinian national unity on a firm
political and organizational basis, op-
posed to imperialism and Zionism.
Comrade Borge informed the delega-
tion about the achievements of the
Sandinista revolution, and_ the
desperate attempts of imperialism to
turn back the wheels of history. He
praised the Palestinian people’s strug-
gle, the steadfastness of those besieged
in the camps in Lebanon, and the
PFLP’s vanguard role within the
Palestinian national struggle.
The delegation’s meetings were top-
ped by the meeting with Commandante
Bayardo Arce, vice-president of the
FSLN national leadership, who
reviewed the internal situation in
Nicaragua and the blows dealt to the
contras by the Sandinista revolution.
Comrade Arce also reaffirmed the
Sandinista’s firm position in support of
the Palestinian people’s just struggle.
He conveyed the Sandinista
leadership’s appraisal of the Palesti-
nian people’s heroic struggle, the
PFLP’s vanguard role in this struggle
and its efforts to restore the PLO’s
unity. Commandate Arce also con-
veyed the Sandinista leadership’s best
wishes to the PFLP’s leadership and
