Empowering Cuba To Save More African
Lives
By Obi Egbuna The bravery and fervor Cuban Revolutionaries have displayed since time immemorial,
from Jose Marti (whom Fidel Castro affectionately refers to as the Apostle of the revolution) and General Antonio Maceo to
Che Guevara and Vilma Espin, have always been an inspiration to those who truly love freedom and justice. This passion for
world peace stems from the revolutionary values which are at the core of Cuban society. Often times, the world has seen how
willing Cubans are to give their lives and resources in pursuit of freedom and justice-such as they did at the US led Bay
of Pigs invasion of 1961,and in Angola, Mozambique and Guinee Bissau. A more current example of this courage are the five
Cuban patriots, who are illegally imprisoned in US jails, because they decided to risk their lives to prevent further acts
of naked aggression and terrorism against their beloved homeland, by the counter revolutionary Cuban forces in Miami who are
openly aligned with the Bush administration. It is quite interesting that despite this rich history of sacrifice, Commandante
Fidel Castro has humbly indicated on many occasions that the greatest army ever assembled in Cuba, is that of the medical
brigades. These professional and well trained brigades have many times represented their country patriotically not only at
home but throughout the world. read more
