Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Cuba — a country ruled for nearly five decades by Fidel Castro — is in limbo, and many Cubans are anxious. The current president, Fidel’s brother Raul Castro, recently gave some observers reason to be optimistic for reform by releasing political prisoners. But he’s also planning painful cuts to the government sector, which employs 95 percent of the population. We explore the changes underway and what they mean for U.S.-Cuban relations.
