European Solidarity Convoy to Cuba - Let Cuba Breath!

Cuba: European Solidarity Convoy Arrives in Havana! (18.3.2026)

Also a French MEP, Emma Fourreau, insisted that the first thing to do for the cause of the Caribbean nation is to talk to the whole world about it and how it is affected by the economic war that is being applied to it.

In this way, she pointed out that by knowing first-hand the Cuban reality they will be able to be better spokespersons for the Cuban struggle at the international level.

“The most important thing is to listen and learn what Cubans have to say; This is a first step, a symbolic action that will attract the attention of the rest of the planet,” she concluded.

Cuba’s ambassador to Italy, Jorge Luis Cepero, went to Rome’s Fiumicino Airport on Tuesday to bid farewell to the members of the European Solidarity Convoy that left for Havana.

The diplomat highlighted in statements to reporters at that air terminal the relevance of the gesture, a sign of the close ties of friendship that unite the peoples of Italy and Cuba, and of the strong rejection in this nation of the genocidal economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States against the island.

China: Brain-Computer-Interface Gives Hope to Paralyzed People! (12.12.2025)

“For example, if a patient sees a flame and wants to move away, that ‘wanting’ signal is captured by the chip and converted into a command to move the hand,” he added.

While the foundational BCI research began decades ago in the West, Chinese teams are now rapidly advancing the technology.

In July 2025, Nature reported that “China is rising swiftly in the field of brain-computer interfaces”, with devices that even outperform Elon Musk’s Neuralink project in certain aspects.

“Although China does not have as long a research history in the field as the United States, development is extremely fast,” Qu said, noting China’s advantages in medical infrastructure and its population scale for testing.

Patients’ hopes lifted

The BCI device developed by Shanghai StairMed is particularly remarkable. With 64 electrodes — each only 1 percent of the width of a human hair — it is one of the smallest and least invasive implantable BCIs in the world. The first male recipient has already used it to play chess and video racing games.

Venezuela Solidarity with Cuba!

Venezuela: 25 Years of Integral Health Agreement with Cuba! (1.12.2025)

We celebrate 25 years of the inaugural assistance flight that marked the beginning of the Integral Health Agreement between Cuba and Venezuela, a model, exemplary, and unique relationship; sustained by unity and deep loyal, and Chavista friendship. This alliance is not guided by selfish or material interests, but by complementarity solidarity, and the supreme value of cooperation, based on the idea: win-win.

The therapy offers a promising new approach to tackling the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance, said the study published in the international UK medical journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases in late September.

China: New Drug Used to Treat Common Infection! (19.11.2025)

A new treatment combination for Helicobacter pylori — a common stomach bacterium linked to ulcers and gastritis — based on a domestically developed drug has shown comparable, and in some cases superior, efficacy in eradicating the infection compared with standard therapy, according to recent clinical research.

The therapy offers a promising new approach to tackling the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance, said the study published in the international journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases in late September.

The experimental triple therapy centres on rifasutenizol, a novel antimicrobial agent developed specifically for H. pylori infection by Tennor Therapeutics, a pharmaceutical company based in Suzhou, Jiangsu province.

CSA: Book Review – “Confederate Infantryman [1861-1865]” By Ian Drury & Gerry Embleton! (16.11.2025)

Osprey Publishing is a British Publishing Company specializing in military history originally based in Oxford. Being English myself – and having been born in Oxford – I appreciate a clear-thinking and non-bias account of historical matters. The book above – Confederate Infantry [1861-1865] penned by the British experts Ian Drury & Gerry Embleton (1993) – is an extraordinary introduction to the subject of the Confederate Army in general – and the Confederate infantryman in-particular. An estimation of the Confederate causalities sustained during four-years of fighting (1861-1865) is as follows:

Confederate Casualties = 483,026

Killed in Action (KIA) = 94,000

Wounded in Action (WIA) = 194,026

Died of Diseases = 164,000

Died as Prisoners of War (POWs) = 31,000
