The professor of the University of Medical Sciences in the Cuban province of Ciego de Ávila, Yaniska Martinez Días, held an interview with the President of Namibia, Hage Geingob. The meeting was held as part of a visit by the Cuban teacher to this country, invited by SWAPO, to interview the surviving Namibians of the Cassinga Massacre.
These testimonies, along with those of Cuban combatants who helped the Namibian civilians who were in that place, will be included in a book by the Cuban educator, which should be published in May next year.
In the friendly meeting, the teacher obtained the impressions of the Namibian leader on the attack by South African apartheid regime forces at the civilian camp in Cassinga. Likewise, the President, as usual, expressed his solidarity with Cuba and thanked for Cuban cooperation in his country.
Professor Yaniska also met with other prominent Namibian figures, including the Founding Father of the Nation, Sam Nujoma, retired generals Martin Shalli and Charles Namoloh and the Inspector General of the Police - who graduated in Cuba - Sebastián Ndeitunga.
