The Story

Namibia’s Prime Minister Dr. Tjitunga Elijah Ngurare honored Fidel Castro and reaffirmed solidarity with Cuba. Mr. Ngurare made his statement at a Colloquium commemorating the centenary of Castro's birth on August 10, 2026, in Cuba. President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah of Namibia also honored Fidel Castro’s legacy and Namibia-Cuba solidarity on August 13, 2026, for the centenary celebration of his birth. Cuba marked the 100th anniversary of Fidel Castro's birth on Thursday. Fidel Castro died in Havana in 2016 at the age of 90. Cuba's Communist Party has spent the week celebrating the late revolutionary leader. Meanwhile, the US military option for Cuba fades as President Trump focuses on sanctions. The Trump administration has made it clear that the fight against communist regimes in the Western Hemisphere continues. The Dominican Republic is in the process of cutting diplomatic ties with Cuba, following Colombia, Ecuador, and Costa Rica.
