Freetown, february 24, 2026. The Cuban ambassador to the Republic of Sierra Leone, Her Excellency Norma Sánchez Águila, held a productive meeting with a group of Sierra Leonean graduates in Cuba.
The Cuban diplomat took the opportunity to explain in detail the difficult economic situation her country is going through, due to the systematic intensification of the blockade by President Trump's administration with the clear intention of suffocating the Caribbean island through an oil and trade embargo, which includes threats of sanctions against third countries that trade with Cuba.
For their part, the graduates expressed their total solidarity with the Caribbean island, reaffirming their unwavering support for the Cuban people. They expressed their commitment to the Cuban Revolution for its contribution to the training of African doctors and the fight against the Ebola and Covid-19 pandemics, led by Cuba while other world powers pretended to be busy in other parts of the world that needed urgent attention.
