The one you do not expect

Cuba sends doctors and nurses to territories affected by Ebola in Africa since the beginning of October. The contingents are already larger than those ones of Western industrialized nations.
Where is Western journalism to spread this piece of information through every channel?

No, it was reported in the New York Times quite thoroughly:

Cuba, like all other countries and especially Communist countries, has an interest in improving its international image with exactly these kinds of maneuvers. I have a good friend from Cuba who is politically very neutral, but he has no plans or desire to return to Cuba and plans to make a life in the United States. Cuba sounds like a very difficult place to live and certainly not a free country.
