"Cuba does not get involved in international terrorism"

Declaration of the Association of Friendship with Cuba in Finland

Helsinki, January 18th.- The United States has included Cuba in its list of state sponsors of terrorism. Just a few days before the end of his term, Donald Trump is desperately trying to pile up new obstacles to normalizing relations between the two countries.

Cuba is not a state sponsor of international terrorism. On the contrary, Cuba has been an active peace broker in Colombia and has sent doctors to dozens of countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cuban doctors are nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The dishonest and irresponsible attitude of the United States government once again means more difficulties for ordinary Cubans.

Placing Cuba on the list of terrorist states will paralyze the importation of materials and supplies, the acquisition of credits, and banking transactions. All this will be reflected in the worsening of the shortage of food, fuel and medicine in the daily life of Cubans. The blockade and all the sanctions that make life difficult for Cubans must be lifted. Today more than ever we need international cooperation, solidarity and peace.
