CUBAN MASSES DEMAND AN END TO BRUTAL SANCTIONS AND US INTERFERENCE

Cuba Embassy

Dec 27, 2024

General Raúl Castro and President Miguel Díaz-Canel lead a mass demonstration in Havana, showing the people’s determination not to be cowed by the brutal US sanctions, which were ratcheted up to unprecedented levels during the last Trump regime and whose aim is to starve the people into misery and submission.


Join with all progressive humanity in demanding an end to imperialism’s coercive measures. Let Cuba live!

On Friday 20 December, Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban Revolution, and President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez led the inspiring march of the militant people in Havana against the unjust 65-year-old US blockade and the unfounded inclusion of Cuba on the list of state sponsors of terrorism.


Thousands of Cubans, full of unity and joy, filled the Malecón, passing by the US embassy with a clear message: End the genocide against Cuba! The march reflected the unwavering popular support of the Cuban people, who once again demonstrated their patriotic spirit and resilience.


Before the march, President Díaz-Canel said:


“This is going to be a march, yes, a very anti-imperialist march. Against US imperialism and its attempts to impose itself in Cuba by force or seduction, we will march now and always.”


“The current US administration has maintained and intensified its hostile policies against Cuba, including the 243 measures implemented by Trump and the unjust inclusion of Cuba on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. This designation is false, immoral and hypocritical, especially coming from a country where paramilitary groups are openly organising and training to carry out terrorist acts against Cuba with impunity.


“The blockade and these coercive measures cause immense suffering to the Cuban people, depriving them of food, medicine and resources essential for survival and development. These actions are not only cruel, but criminal, as seen during the pandemic, when Cuba was denied access to medical oxygen and other vital supplies.


“Despite this, Cuba stands firm, unyielding in its defence of its sovereignty and socialism. Today’s rally and march symbolise the resilience, patriotism and revolutionary conviction of the Cuban people, who reject any interference or imperialist aggression.


“Cuba extends its hand of respect and friendship to the American people and to any US administration willing to engage on equal terms. However, if hostility persists, Cuba will continue to resist with rebellion and dignity, outlasting any hostile administration.”


The Cuban government extended its thanks to all friends of Cuba for their solidarity and called on them to continue supporting their cause: “Let us increase our efforts to spread the truth, demand an end to the blockade and show the world the strength of our people.


“Help us spread this message and amplify our call!”
