Addis Ababa, October 30, 2023. The Cuban Ambassador to Ethiopia, Jorge Lefebre Nicolás, held a press conference before the country's local media on the effects of the U.S. blockade against Cuba.
The Cuban ambassador announced the upcoming presentation on November 1 and 2 of UN General Assembly draft resolution 77/7 entitled "Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba".
The ambassador reflected through data the devastating effects caused by this cruel policy that continues to be the main obstacle to the development of the Cuban economy and the full enjoyment of all human rights of the Cuban people, constituting a serious challenge for the implementation of its main development projects.
"The people of Cuba have suffered for more than six decades from the most unjust, severe and prolonged system of unilateral coercive measures that has been applied against any country. The human cost of this illegal policy for our people is incalculable, it has caused suffering and constitutes a flagrant and systematic violation of Human Rights", said the Cuban diplomat.
