The April 9 strike was a general strike organized and called upon by M-26-7 via radio, lasting from April 9 to 10th 1958. It spanned across Cuba and eventually the strike lost momentum and died out mid-day on April 10. 100 soldiers died in the strike due to political repression by the Fulgencio Batista government of Cuba.
