MOGADISHU (Halbeeg News) – The government of Cuba has commended efforts by Somali government to rescued kidnapped Cuban doctors.
In a Twitter post, Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez thanked on Monday his Somali counterpart, Ahmed Isse Awad, for the efforts of his government to guarantee the return of the doctors.
“I had a telephone conversation with the Foreign Minister of Somali Mr. Ahmed Isse Awad. I appreciated the support and efforts of your government to guarantee the safe return of our kidnapped doctors. We highlight the will to strengthen bilateral ties between the two governments,” he said.
The doctors were kidnapped more than a year ago in Mandera town near Kenya-Somalia border.
The Cuban doctors were kidnapped on April 12, 2019 while serving in Kenya, and since then Cuba’s government has been in permanent communication at the highest level for their return, both with Kenya and with Somalia.
