Among the news that are coming out of Libya, some definitely are hard to take lightly. They suggest that maybe, just maybe, the up-to-now Libyan strongman, who is neither president or king or anything like that to resign- according to his own words- may prevail. There is one story that bears witness to what has made Dr. Rida Mazagri.
Dr. Mazagri studied medicine at the Al Fateh University in Tripoli. He then went to Canada where he became a neurosurgeon. Later, he came to the United States and began working in West Virginia. So far, we could say that the doctor was pleased with his "American dream."
Except that a few weeks ago, while watching form afar the rebellion in his country, "he felt united with the freedom fighters." Almost without thinking again, he left another doctor in his place and went first to Europe, then to Cairo and from there went by land into Libya. He made contact with the rebels and is now working hard in a makeshift military hospital in Ajdabiya a few kilometers before reaching Benghazi through the northern highway bordering the Mediterranean Sea from the border with Egypt.
While the Libyan rebels fighting against a superior force in arms and resources bleed almost to death, one wonders, if a similar battle would occur in Cuba, who would turn or return to assist the people in their struggle for freedom? How many Cuban doctors in the island would come to the call of the Cuban people? How many Cuban doctors outside the island would come to the call of the Cuban people?
