To my surprise there were more than 8,000 students from Ethiopia studying at Cuban universities. I also went to the Latin American School of Medicine which provides more than 90 percent of Latin America's doctors and more than half of those doctors are women. Also, more than 60 percent of the students in Cuban universities are Afro-Cuban. As a student of color in the United States I am fully aware that I have certain privileges not awarded to students in third-world countries, but I do not believe Cuba should be included in this list. Don't get it twisted, people do suffer.
People do want more.
The real issue is the U.S. aggression towards the people of Cuba. The U.S. and its Cuban American backbone will have you believe that they have the best interest of Cubans in their immediate attention, and that it is Castro that they do not like. The blockade does not affect Castro, it affects the people of Cuba. Let us not forget for a minute that every country in the United Nations except the U.S. and Israel have called for the lifting of the blockade. People in this country call for elections in Cuba.
