On December 10, scholars and diplomats joined in a virtual conference to explore the contribution of Cuba and Fidel Castro to the struggles for the liberation of the African peoples. The event took place in the context of the 45th anniversary of Operation Carlota, the name given to Cuba's intervention in Angola, after the Lucumí black slave who in 1843 rebelled against the Spanish colonial yoke in Cuba, at the “Triunvirato” sugar mill, in Matanzas. The event was sponsored by the National Network on Cuba (NNOC) and the Alliance for Global Justice (AGJ).

Last year, the U.S. asserted that its diplomatic personnel in Cuba had been affected by “sonic attacks,” an accusation that has been developed in the media in an attempt to justify launching a Cold War.
