On this day, 16 February in 1959, Fidel Castro was sworn in as prime minister of revolutionary Cuba after leading a guerrilla campaign that forced US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista into exile. Castro’s commitment to aiding liberation struggles in Africa earned him loyalty and love in Africa.

Two months after the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, Castro visited Argentina, where he delivered a speech that highlighted Cuba's staunch opposition to Washington's destructive imperialist policies, a position that's earned Cuba a six-decade blockade. Castro compared the United States’ bombardments to Cuba's medical internationalism. Since 1963, more than 600,000 Cuban health workers have provided medical services in more than 160 countries. Cuba also provided free military support to the last of Africa's liberation struggles.

Why is Washington desperate to crush Cuba's revolution?
