The people of Cuba marked the 67th anniversary of the Triumph of the Cuban Revolution.

The day celebrates the moment in 1959 when Fidel Castro's forces succeeded in ending the Batista regime, a turning point in Cuban history that has shaped the country's direction ever since.

This annual celebration is one of Cuba's most important national holidays and reflects on the revolution's legacy of resilience, independence, and social progress.

The celebration also carries special resonance as Cuba entered the centenary year of Fidel Castro's birth, with leaders and citizens reaffirming their commitment to the revolutionary project amid ongoing challenges.

The Cuban Ambassador to Namibia, Sergio de la Uz, reaffirmed the Cuban government's call for unity and resilience, noting the symbolic link between the revolution's victory and the start of the year.

"On the 67th anniversary of the triumph, we reaffirm that revolution is not a thing of the past. The Cuban people continue to demonstrate their capacity to recall the impossible and serve as a reference for all nations that defend their right to peace. The day of the revolution has been a victory over the difficulties of the United States government, which has sought to create an environment of hardship and unrest, deeply impacting the country's economy, trade, and financial system through measures that have intensified over the last six years," said De la Uz.

The Cuban ambassador added  This aggression against Cuba has reached a more perverse phase with the inclusion of the island on the United States' list of state sponsors of terrorism. The tightening of these measures, along with financial restrictions, has limited Cuba's access to international credit and frightened off foreign investment. As President Miguel Díaz-Canel has stated: 'Unity is our strategy, a weapon against those who attempt to undermine our sovereignty."
