Zimbabwe Cuba Friendship Association

Since its revolution in 1959, Cuba has been a beacon to all those who strive for a better and more just world – showing the world that education, housing, and healthcare for all is not just a distant dream, but a reality that we can and must fight for. Whether it was sending doctors to fight Ebola in West Africa, mobilizing medical brigades to combat COVID-19, or providing free education to thousands of people across the world—Cuba has consistently prioritized international solidarity. During Hurricane Katrina, Cuba even offered to send doctors to the U.S. to support the working class people of the US who had been abandoned by their own government, but this gesture was refused by the US administration! In struggles for national liberation, such as in Angola and Vietnam, Cuba stood side by side with freedom fighters, offering military, medical, and technical support against colonial and apartheid regimes.

"I realised Fidel has great human feelings, keen intuition, and that he understood the importance of our struggle and the problems of my country. I remember all this as though it were yesterday. And I’ve happily reminded him of it each time I’ve seen him since then. We’re great friends, thanks to the revolution that guides both Burkina Faso and Cuba… Cooperation between Cuba and Burkina Faso has reached a very high level. We attach great importance to this because it puts us in contact with a sister revolution. We like feeling at ease with each other. Nobody likes to feel alone. Knowing we can count on Cuba is an important source of strength for us. " - Thomas Sankara
