Journal Description

Flora Guillen was born in Cuba. She seems quite humanitarian, having little liking for the war in general.

Prima Official Game Guide

"Flora was born into a post-revolutionary Cuban military family. Drawn to the military even before her compulsory service, Flora entered the Career Officers School at age 16. She excelled in her ideological education as well as military drills and was offered an opportunity to serve abroad. She selected an exchange program in Angola, which, though ruled by the Cuban-backed MPLA (Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola), was still in the midst of a civil war."

"When the decision was made to withdraw Cuban forces from Angola, Flora was among the thousands of Cubans who elected to stay.She eventually accepted a commission with the Angolan Armed Forces (FAA). Guillen spent most of her professional life battling sporadic insurgencies. She was seriously wounded in the 1999 offensive against UNITA, not long after being promoted to captain. She struggled through rehabilitation, but by the time she was deemed fit for active duty, the insurgency had disarmed and joined the democratic process. Flora officially retired in 2002 but immediately began taking training contracts with various armed groups in Africa with whom she felt ideologically aligned: in Eritrea, Liberia, Uganda, and most recently Somalia, where she fought against the Islamic Courts Union (ICU)."
