Guatemala ends 30-year Cuban medical program under US pressure | Al Mayadeen English
https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/guatemala-ends-30-year-cuban-medical-program-under-us-pressu

"Guatemala's termination forces the withdrawal of 412 healthcare workers serving marginalized communities."

Huge loss for the people, showing that the US really doesn't care about people, only punishing Cuba.

#Guatemala #Cuba #USA

@Miro_Collas How long before #SouthAfrica faces similar pressure? Not only do we have Cuban medics working here, but we have some hundreds of medical students there at any given time.

How Cuba Helped End Apartheid at Cuito Cuanavale

Forces from tiny Cuba joined Angolan and Namibian revolutionaries to defeat the South African apartheid regime. It was one of history’s greatest acts of internationalism.

@michaelgraaf Probably soon - especially if you factor in that S.Africa has the legal case against Israel pending.
The US really is a global bully.
