Anti-Fascist International Kenya Chapter condemns U.S. economic actions against Cuba

We express deep concern regarding the recent United States Executive Order  issued on January 29, 2026, which declares a national emergency and authorizes  tariffs on countries providing oil to Cuba. This measure has intensified Cuba's longstanding economic challenges, resulting in widespread power outages, fuel  shortages, and disruptions to essential services such as healthcare, food  distribution, and transportation. These actions contribute to signicant hardship  for the Cuban population, exacerbating vulnerabilities in daily life and economic  stability.

 

The Cuban Revolution continues to serve as a powerful symbol of resistance  against U.S. imperialism, offering inspiration to nations and peoples in the Global  South. Since its inception, it has demonstrated resilience in the face of external  pressures, advancing social achievements in education, healthcare, and  international solidarity. Cuba's contributions, including medical aid to Africa and  beyond, underscore its commitment to sovereignty and self-determination amid  ongoing challenges.

 

We urge comrades and allies worldwide to stand in solidarity with Cuba,  condemning these U.S. policies as violations of international law and the  principles of national sovereignty enshrined in the United Nations Charter. The  Cuban people have the inherent right to determine their political and economic

future free from external interference. We call for the immediate cessation of all  U.S. sanctions, blockades, and related measures that undermine Cuba's stability  and well-being.

 

Respect for Cuba's sovereignty and compliance with global legal standards are  essential to fostering peaceful international relations. The Anti-Fascist  International Kenya Chapter reiterates its commitment to justice, human rights, and the end of unilateral coercive actions. We stand ready to support diplomatic  efforts toward dialogue and mutual respect.

 

The Cuban Revolution will triumph, as it always has, proving that peoples united  can bury empires.

 

In revolutionary solidarity,

Anti-Fascist International Kenya Chapter
