Luis Enrique Mojena, a Cuban from Sandino, Pinar del Río, was deported to the Central African Republic on October 22. The date appears without a year, so the transfer cannot be placed more precisely. Before that outcome, he left a medical mission in Venezuela in 2022, crossed the Darién Gap and reached Miami. Those details describe his earlier journey but do not specify what happened afterward.

A video shared on Facebook records Mojena telling his story to journalist Daniel Benítez from Bangui. He is identified there as a native of Sandino, Pinar del Río, and is said to be staying in a safe house with other people. At the end of his account, he described the conditions they faced as abnormal, without further details about the accommodation.

A delayed court notice is the element connecting the proceeding with the deportation in the account: the notice allegedly arrived one day late. It does not specify which hearing was involved, when the summons was issued or which authority processed it. Nor does it describe Mojena's actions or the formal reasons for the immigration decision, leaving those matters unclear.

Information about his situation places him in Bangui, far from his family, and says he does not know when he will be able to leave the Central African Republic. That detail supplements the testimony recorded in the capital but does not say how long he has been there or what options he has for leaving the country. The case is therefore bounded by the transfer, the delayed notice and his stay in Bangui, with no additional dates to reconstruct the sequence.
