Medalla "Por la Victoria Cuba-Etiopia"

I guess they were stretching a bit on the "Victory" thing.... very, very hard to find as campaign medals go. At least for the current moment.

Example of the medal:

[Taz]

The Medalla "Por la Victoria Cuba-Etiopia" Was instituted on the 8th September 1989 by means of the Decree Law no. 116, of the Council of State of the Republic of Cuba.

Award Critaria

The critaria are the same as the Medalla "Por la Victoria Cuba R.P.A."

Awarded in recognition of the outstanding attitude maintained during the fulfillment of the International mission asked of them, in defense of the revoulutionary conquests in Ethiopia and in the interest of its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Regards Eddie.
