Cubans and Namibians commemorate the Birth of the Apostle
The emotional act began with the notes of the National Anthems of Cuba and Namibia
WINDHOEK, Namibia, January 29, 2020/ --
The 167th Anniversary of the Birth of our Apostle and National Hero,
José Martí, was commemorated in Namibia with the presence of the Cuban
ambassador, Sidenio Acosta, the Venezuelan ambassador, Omar Barretoran,
officials of both diplomatic headquarters, Cuban collaborators and
members of the Namibia-Cuba Friendship Association and the “Patria”
Association of Cuban Residents.
The emotional act began with the notes of the National Anthems of Cuba
and Namibia. Subsequently, collaborators Yanelys Ruiz and Bárbara
Fernández interpreted fragments of the poem Abdala, written by José
Martí. Rosa González and Yanet Cejas, also Cuban cooperators, deposited a floral offering on the Apostle's bust, located at the headquarters of
the Cuban diplomatic mission, with the inscription: "Tribute to José
Martí of all Cubans in Namibia." Also others present honored our
National Hero by placing flowers on his statue. Later, everyone kept a
minute of silence in memory of the greatest of all Cubans.
Also, Dr. Arnaldo Meneses, Head of the Cuban Medical Brigade in Namibia, who was in charge of the keynote speech of the event, strongly
condemned the outrage to the Apostle, perpetrated by mercenaries paid
from the United States.
In addition, he stressed the importance and validity of Martian thought
for Cuban patriots. The Cuban doctor highlighted the presence of the
Apostle's ideology in all the work of the Revolution, which, under the
guidance of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro, put into practice the
humanist, Latin American, anti-imperialist and independentist doctrine
of Marti.
In line with the National Hero's thinking, the attendees condemned the
imperialist aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and
expressed their support for the government of President Nicolás Maduro.
Similarly, they transferred their solidarity with other Latin American
peoples and with leaders Luis Ignacio Lula Da Silva and Evo Morales.
On the other hand, the economic, commercial and financial blockade of
the United States against Cuba was also repudiated by those present, who demanded the end of that criminal policy against the Island.
The ceremony had television coverage by the national network NBC. The
ambassadors of Cuba and Venezuela offered their impressions about the
commemoration ceremony.
