The words of Fidel, historic leader of the Cuban revolution, whose centennial anniversary of his birth we celebrate this year (2026), echoes and reverberates 65 years ago, when he declared the socialist character of the Cuban revolution, prior to inflicting the first military defeat against US empire in the world, at the Bay of Pigs invasion.

'What the imperialist cannot forgive, is that we are here, that we have made a socialist revolution right under the nose of the United States'

“Cuba is the world’s brightest symbol of resilience and solidarity”, declared the Hon. Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhilla, Speaker of the Namibian National Assembly, during the launch of the “Namibians in Solidarity with the People of Cuba” campaign, which took place today at the Institute of Public Administration in Windhoek.

The venue served as the stage to publicize this act of solidarity and love for Cuba, which aims to raise funds for the purchase of solar panels and medical supplies to be sent to the island to alleviate the difficult situation it faces.

The 65th anniversary of the victory at Playa Girón was commemorated in Windhoek at a solidarity event attended by officers of the Namibian Defence Force, members of the Namibia-Cuba Friendship Association (NAMCUFA), and collaborators serving in this African nation.

Paris, 23 April 2026.– The 224th session of the Executive Board of UNESCO, held from 8 to 23 April 2026 at the Organization’s Headquarters, provided a platform for Cuba to reaffirm its commitment to peace, multilateralism, and international cooperation, while denouncing the tightening of hostile policies by the United States against the Island.

In its statement, the Cuban delegation denounced that the country has endured for more than six decades the longest sustained economic aggression in contemporary history. This is compounded by Cuba’s arbitrary inclusion on the list of States allegedly sponsoring terrorism, as well as new coercive measures, including a recent executive order aimed at tightening the blockade on fuel supplies, with the objective of causing economic and human damage to undermine national sovereignty.

Cuba reiterated that it will never renounce its sovereign right to build its own development model, nor its commitment to contributing to a more just, supportive, and peaceful world.

The staff of the Cuban Embassy in the United States joined in signing the document “My Signature for the Homeland,” a grassroots initiative launched on April 19.

The action is part of a broad movement rejecting the economic, commercial, and financial embargo imposed by the United States government against the island, as well as the recent tightening of these measures.
