One hundred and thirty-seven Cubans including fifteen doctors flew yesterday on a Caribbean Air-lines flight bound for Havana, Cuba after being stranded in Guyana for several months.
The Cuban doctors returning to their country would have completed their three-year contract with the government.
Eager to get home, Cuban nationals began arriving at the Cheddi Jagan International Air-port, Timehri since Sunday night. The flight came at the cost of US$542 per seat, cheaper that the regular US$700.
Cuban national and broadcaster of Guyana’s Latin radio station, ‘Hola Guyana’, Alfredo Ballesteros who acted as a translator between his fellow Cubans and this newspaper, on Sunday shared several stories from those returning home.
