It's mentioned in Gateway to the Spanish Main that Cuba was involved in fighting in Angola. A number (unspecified) of regiments were involved with the worst (the 21st MRR) evacuated by ship in late 2000 (they arrived in Grenada in November 2000) after being defeated by non-Marxist guerillas.
Given their involvement in Africa (which apparently began in mid 1993 or even earlier), it's no real surprise the Cubans tried to remain neutral with respect to the European war and it's participants - they probably didn't have the troops available to defend themselves if they made too many political waves.
