“When the bully rules”, a look from UK to the impact of the US Blockade on Cuba.

“When the bully rules”, is a work of young journalist Cristina Escobar about the impact of the US Blockade on the people of Cuba.

The US blockade against Cuba is real. These are the facts:

The economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed against Cuba continues to represent a hindrance for the development of all the potential of the Cuban economy.

The blockade constitutes a massive, flagrant and systematic violation of the human rights of all Cuban men and women. The blockade violates the rights of the Cuban people.

THE United States stood shamed before the world for the 28th year running on Thursday when the UN general assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn its illegal blockade of Cuba.

Of 193 member states of the United Nations, 187 voted in favour of the resolution demanding an immediate end to the blockade, which is estimated to have cost the socialist country over $130 billion (roughly £100bn) over six decades.

Around November 7 the United Nations general assembly will vote for the 28th consecutive year on the resolution tabled by Cuba calling for an end to the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of the island.

As usual, the world will not be surprised when the US opposes the motion, ignoring the overwhelming majority of countries who call each year for an end to this “genocidal” policy. Last year 189 countries voted to end the blockade.

Cuba’s motion is backed by a detailed 50-page report that illustrates the devastating impact of the US policy on the daily lives of the Cuban people.

At the same time it sets out a myriad of US measures designed to stop countries, companies and individuals across the globe from trading with the increasingly beleaguered island. The ongoing impact on British-Cuban relations is devastating. The full report can be read here bit.ly/UNBlockadeReport2019.

Cuban sugar workers condemn US blockades.

 

From: Morning Star. 

CUBAN sugar agro-industry workers have condemned US blockades for “choking” the people’s economy.

Association of Cuban Sugar Technicians (ATAC) president Eduardo Lamadrid Martinez warned on Thursday that economic, financial and commercial blockades against Cuba by the US were becoming “more dramatic.”

“On behalf of the more than 10,600 technicians and scientists of the sector, we condemn this unjust policy that tries to choke us economically,” Mr Lamadrid Martinez said.
