Each week on “The Global African” host Bill Fletcher, Jr. addresses issues facing Africa and the African Diasporas. Today's program looks at Cuba, its long standing solidarity with Africa, as best exemplified today in the presence of the largest contingent of health workers from any country in the front lines of the fight against Ebola and the history of secret negotiations between Havana and Washington. Fletcher interviews Peter Kornbluh, author (together with William M. LeoGrande) of the recently published book "Back Channel to Cuba-The Hidden History of Negotiations between Washington and Havana" and director of the Cuba Documentation Project at the National Security Archives and Juan Jacomino from the Cuban Interests Section (the functional equivalent of an embassy if the US had normal diplomatic relations with the island). teleSUR
