For a couple of days, information has been circulating from <\/span>unofficial sources<\/b><\/a> that Cuban doctors <\/span>Assel Herrera and Landy Rodr\u00edguez<\/b><\/a> had died as victims of a U.S. drone attack in Somalia, where the Al-Shabaab group, which kidnapped them in 2019, had kept them captive.<\/span><\/p>\n

OnCuba<\/b> proposes a review of the main events related to the case from April 12, 2019, the day of the fateful kidnapping, to the present, while the Cuban authorities assure that they are working to clarify the facts and confirm or deny the news. In addition, interesting background information is included for what happened with the doctors almost five years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expreso toda mi solidaridad y afecto a las familias de nuestros m\u00e9dicos Assel y Landy, en estos momentos de incertidumbre y acrecentado dolor, ante las tr\u00e1gicas noticias a\u00fan no confirmadas, en cuyo esclarecimiento trabajamos arduamente con autoridades internacionales.<\/p>\n
