SIX decades on, the Revolution continues to defy all the odds. A small, socialist, independent island 90 miles from the United States has resisted an onslaught of intervention from its northerly neighbour in a David versus Goliath struggle.
The United States has tried all means possible to overthrow the Revolution, ranging from the ongoing blockade to the CIA-backed invasion at the Bay of Pigs, from the hundreds of assassination attempts on Cuba’s leadership, to billions of dollars spent on regime change activities.
But the Cuban people have not just survived these attacks, they have developed a society based on the needs of humanity, where education, health, social care and internationalism are its core priorities. These achievements stand as a beacon to the Global South and progressives the world over.
