They are still there.

My husband is Afro-Cuban, when we went last Christmas that's when I found out. They became orphaned during the war with Somalia :mjpls: @Trajan

I also seen the Tigalchin monument in Addis.

We have widows and orphans too :whoa:

I have a relative who died in the war as a young man. Never married. I see his elderly mother from time to time:mjcry:

So I've some tweets from black Cubans in America celebrating this death. Some have even come for black americans for only worrying about Assata.

They also mentioned how they have family that been imprisoned and beaten.

I thought everyone but White Cubans in Miami would be happy so I'm a bit surprised.
can you post the tweets

Oh I know, I tagged you cause it was a Somalia vs Ethiopia war. The situation is still bad over there. Because Cuba favored Ethiopia, they had an arrangement with Mengistu to take in war orphans and bring them to Cuba.

Damn I didn't know that. Cubans are solid as allies. They've been sending doctors and giving medical scholarships to people they fukk with.

I found out last year that there was a sizable Ethiopian community in Cuba when I went last year. That's when they told me. They got a free education, their kids got a free education, housing, some stayed and others later immigrated to California and DC where there was a bigger population of Ethiopians.

I've had a few conversations with Cuban scholars from high school and beyond within my studies. My most memorable one was as an high schooler...
A remember being in Florida my freshman year for break and me having a conversation about Cuba and Globalization with this older Cuban guy. The most striking part of the conversation was what he told me about Fidel and his treatment of those with African decent. He expressed that Fidel always had favor to those with darker skin and he treated them very well.
One thing I really noticed regarding those escaping Cuba was that most were non black. Most black Cubans stayed behind

Simple, the US wanted Cuba to bow down to them, fidel said no. The US (whites) does not like any ideology that opposes there's (ask Malcom, huey, the panthers etc etc). The man who fidel replaced, Batista was put in by the US, at that time Cuba was a oligarchy, which means a few rich land owners held all the power & controlled all the resources and surprise, guess who they was in bed with? US corporations (think that 99%) (Google "banana Republic" ) I mean Jesus before fidel Cubans couldn't even visit the vacation resorts that they worked at!

Ask yourself this why are there such harsh sanctions from the most powerful country ever on a tiny island? Do you know that the US sanctions doesn't even allow other countries to trade with them. The sole reason they are poor are because of the sanctions. Cuba was /is being used as an example to any other nation who thinks of going against the grain. Most of the expatriates, the main ones anyways are family members of these oligarchs who used to be rich back in Cuba, the rest have been brain washed by the US into again forgetting that any misery being had by there people back in Cuba is 100% the fault of America
you can say communism is bad, you know.

Its OK.
