From his Twitter account, the president said that “Thursday was Assel’s birthday, Friday was Landy’s, our doctor also kidnapped in Kenya.”

The head of state reiterated that efforts will not cease to return the doctors kidnapped on April 12, 2019 in the Kenyan city of Mandera, on the border with Somalia and target of attacks by the jihadist group Al Shabab.

Since then, Cuban authorities have reported efforts for the return of the doctors, as well as contacts with their families. The Kenyan government also reported efforts for the same purpose.
