Cuba today remembers the 35th anniversary of that solemn moment for the Homeland in which, under the name of Operation Tribute, the remains of those who fell in the internationalist feat in Africa were moved to the national territory and buried.
They were the funerals of more than 2,000 Cubans who died in the fight to eliminate apartheid on that continent and during Operation Carlota and in the 15 years that followed.
“We congratulate Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah on her election as President of Namibia, the first woman elected to lead the sister nation,” published President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, minutes after the African leader was declared the winner in the presidential elections of the African nation.
Ambassador Sergio Vigoa of the Uz participated in the farewell of Professor Ndapandula Martha Shilyomunhu, founding principal of the Fidel Castro Ruz primary school.
“Our dear Martha and the group she has led have had the best model of virtue and purity, the paradigm that inspires and guides us: Fidel Castro Ruz, who stood out for always setting an example, for his vocation as a social educator and his stature ethics and morality,” the Cuban diplomat expressed in his speech.
Tomorrow, Wednesday the 30th, the forum of 193 countries will vote on the Cuban Resolution 78/7 of the United Nations General Assembly, entitled “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”.
