Windhoek, June 7 (RHC)-- Nearly 200 representatives from 26 African countries gathered in Namibia for three days to discuss, strategize and strengthen solidarity with Cuba. 
 
The Fifth Continental African Conference of Solidarity with Cuba, which wrapped up on Tuesday, was held under the theme: “Intensifying Solidarity and Continuing the Legacy of Fidel and Che.” 

The ongoing economic blockade against Cuba imposed by the United States, as well as ways that African solidarity can help resist it, was the topic of many of the conference's discussions and speeches. 

The conference focused on emphasizing material ways in which African-Cuban solidarity can be built upon and expanded, as well as promoting economic cooperation among the Global South. 

Namibian President Hage Geingob expressed appreciation for the military, medical, social, and economic support that Cuba consistently offers to the people of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. 

Conference attendees also expressed support for the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela and the independence struggle for Puerto Rico. 

The first conference was hosted by South Africa in 1995, followed by Ghana in 1997, Angola in 2010 and Ethiopia in 2012.
