Significance of Cuba’s National Rebellion Day highlighted in Syria

Syrians and Cubans recalled in this capital the 71st anniversary of the attack on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Garrisons during the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista (1952-1958), stressing its historical, patriotic and revolutionary meanings.

Those present at the commemoration of this date ratified the spirit of solidarity, struggle, sovereignty, and mutual support that unites Syria and the Caribbean nation.

The Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of the diplomatic mission here, Luis Javier Cabañas, said that this event represented a decisive milestone in the long battle of the Cuban people for their full liberation.

We remember with pride this epic of our history led by young revolutionaries: Fidel Castro, Raúl Castro, and Abel Santamaría, who threw themselves into combat, with the ideals of freedom of José Martí, and gave their lives to give Cuba all the freedom and social justice, the diplomat said.

He denounced that the U.S. government persists in its campaigns of discredit, lies, and distortions, and the incitement to disorder and chaos, to justify an armed intervention and defeat the Revolution.
