Why Africa Cannot Abandon Cuba

In a speech delivered in Lagos on October 24, 2026, Femi Falana recalls Cuba’s support for African anticolonial movements beginning in the 1960s, including in Ghana, Algeria and Portugal’s African colonies. Cuba sent advisers, fighters and equipment to Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and Angola, where more than 55,000 Cuban troops took part in the 1987–1988 Battle of Cuito Cuanavale. Falana says South Africa’s battlefield setbacks helped lead to negotiations that culminated in Namibian independence in 1990 and the end of apartheid in South Africa in 1994. He also points to Cuba’s medical assistance in Africa, including the deployment of more than 460 health workers during the 2014–2015 West African Ebola outbreak.

How Venezuela’s earthquake amputees adapt to life without limbs

More than four months after the June 24 earthquakes in Venezuela, 24-year-old Ricardo Contreras is recovering from the amputation of his left leg and undergoing physiotherapy alongside his 16-year-old brother, Andres. Ricardo, whose parents died in the collapse, hopes a prosthetic leg will help him regain some independence. Survivors face long-term health needs as international aid dwindles: in September, UNICEF had secured only $29.5m of the $65.7m required, while the Red Cross response was 39.8 percent funded. Authorities report more than 6,500 deaths and at least 226,696 people treated for injuries.

Algeria’s president orders troop deployment to neighbouring Niger

Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has ordered troops to Niger to protect energy and economic interests shared by the two countries. The presidency said Nigerien authorities requested military assistance, and both chambers of Algeria’s parliament approved the deployment at an emergency session on Sunday. Senator Belkacem Boulghiti said the soldiers would protect economic infrastructure, particularly Algerian oil facilities, and would not be sent to wage war. The number of troops and their arrival date have not been announced; if carried out, this would be Algeria’s first overseas military deployment since 1973.
