The offensive against Cuban medical brigades continues.   Pressure from the United States for the countries where they operate to sever ties with them persists. Just a few days ago, 227 members of the project returned from Jamaica after Kingston unilaterally terminated the bilateral health cooperation agreement.   This ended a 30-year-old agreement in which Cuban doctors treated more than 8,176,000 patients.

Imperial Cynicism and Living Space

By Randy Alonso Falcon on March 31, 2026 from Havana

Just when you think cynicism has its limits, reality takes us by surprise.

Amid the confusion of the media and analysts and the outburst of anger from the vociferous crowd in Miami—triggered by the arrival in Cuba of a Russian oil tanker carrying over 100,000 tons of oil, following a couple of months of a strict U.S. energy blockade—the U.S. Secretary of State dropped a gem in an interview with Al Jazeera.

Cecilia and Silvio: Songs of Struggle from Venezuela and Cuba

By Alejandra Garcia on March 30, 2026

Cecilia’s view of the Caracas Valley

I met Cecilia Todd at her modest home in Caracas, where the greatest luxury is not material but the view: the entire valley fits into a single glance if you step out onto the terrace.
