In this snapshot WhatsApp interview, Negash Abdurahman, producer of the the film ‘Cuba in Africa’ which won several prestigious international awards, narrates his experiences.
Cubans pay special tribute these days to the historic leader of their Revolution, Fidel Castro, whom they speak of with a mixture of admiration, respect and longing, but they always do so in the present, despite his physical departure.
On July 26th, 1953, young people led by Fidel Castro proposed, at the risk of their lives, to rewrite the political and social history of a Cuba that was oppressed by the regime of dictator Fulgencio Batista.
More than two decades have passed since the first Cuban doctors arrived in the Gambia to give rise to what would be the birth of the Cuban Medical Brigade (CMB) in this sister nation of West Africa.
