**Cuba Must Not Fall!**
_The survival of Cuba’s socialist project remains one of the most critical holdouts against hemispheric domination, making its defense a global litmus test for sovereignty._

Before Castro's successful #CubanRevolution, life for the masses was grim under dictator Batista, who welcomed US mafia, other gangsters to Havana to run casinos, hotels.

Castro brought em excellent healthcare, education, even a world class ballet company & more despite US-led sugar embargo.

Two years after the end of the #CubanRevolution, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1961, the United States severed diplomatic relations with #Cuba. Ties were not restored until 2015, 54 years later, though America's illegal trade embargo on the Caribbean country remains in place.

The #CubanRevolution takes over the Hilton Hotel and Havana in 1959. I'll bet there were a number of hastily departing guests who didn't bother with the checkout formalities.

The #CubanRevolution concluded victoriously on #ThisDayInHistory in 1959 with the overthrow of brutal US-backed dictator #FulgencioBatista. The uprising & revolution were led by #FidelCastro, and the country has tried to uphold his #socialist vision ever since, with some success.

“What we are not willing to negotiate & what we will not give in one iota is the revolution, socialism, & our sovereignty.” — Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel

This anniversary of the #CubanRevolution, hear from combatants—from the #BayofPigs to Santa Clara—on their role in transforming Cuba.

Seeming amused, Fidel Castro holds up a newspaper headlining the discovery of a plot to kill him, during a trip to New York in 1959. Earlier in the day, when asked about a reported assassination attempt, Castro had replied, "I sleep well and don't worry at all." (Getty Images)

What started as a disastrous assault became a national myth, one that would help propel a young lawyer into the role of revolutionary icon.

Cuba credited for saving Cassinga survivors Hertta-Maria Amutenja  President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has again thanked the Cuban revolutionary forces for saving survivors of the 1978 Cassinga massacre.  She said their support will never be forgotten. “We thank the Cuban revolutionary people. The internationalist will never go away. And you must understand, Namibians—current and future—will stand with Cuba in whatever situation,” she said during the 47th Cassinga Day commemoration on Friday. On 4 May 1978, South African airborne troops attacked the Cassinga camp in southern Angola.  The camp served as a refugee reception centre and was run by Swapo.  More than 600 people were killed, many of them women and children. Nandi-Ndaitwah said Cuban forces operating in Angola at the time acted quickly to help Swapo combatants and survivors of the attack. “Thanks to the internationalists of the Cuban revolutionary army who were also operating in Angola. They moved swiftly to join Swapo combatants in the nearby areas, which was not easy, and that’s what saved our Cassinga survivors who are here,” she said. She described the attack as a reminder of the brutality of the apartheid forces. “It was on this day that innocent refugees, mostly women and children, were viciously and inhumanely attacked by a minority regime intent on crushing the will of our people. Instead of breaking our spirit, this massacre only strengthened the resolve of our people to fight for justice, dignity and independence,” she said. She urged Namibians to stay committed to the values that guided them during the liberation struggle. “Let us recommit ourselves to the values that carried us through the darkest chapters of our history: discipline, unity of purpose, resilience and unwavering patriotism. Let us remain focused and stand united behind the 8th Administration of the Swapo Party government as we march toward the second phase of our struggle for the economic emancipation of each and every Namibian,” said Nandi-Ndaitwah. She also paid tribute to those who died in the attack and the fighters who came to help. “We pay special homage to all those who sacrificed, the ones found in the camp and those who were on the way to assist them,” she said. SWAPO secretary general Sophia Shaningwa also spoke during the event.  She thanked Nandi-Ndaitwah for her leadership. “You, our leader, are the only person we can say you are here to protect and heal those broken hearts at this very difficult time,” said Shaningwa. The Cassinga massacre is commemorated every year to honour those who died and to reflect on Namibia’s journey to independence.  The Cassinga settlement was used by Swapo to receive Namibians fleeing South African rule and prepare them for resistance.
