The deputy director general of the U.S. Directorate of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, Johana Tablada, today described as genocidal the inclusion of Cuba in the unilateral list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism.
In an interview to the Caribbean Channel of national television, the diplomat explained that the recent exclusion of the island from a list of nations that "do not fully cooperate in the fight against terrorism" does not mean its elimination from the general list of the State Department that imposes measures against this Caribbean country.
That unilateral measure constitutes one of the main genocidal tools of the White House to asphyxiate the Cuban people, and it persists despite the fact that more and more voices are being raised against such injustice, he pointed out.
He affirmed that Washington uses the presence of Cuba in such a list as a justification for the unilateral coercive measures derived from them, which are associated with the purpose of suffocating the island's economy and holding the Government responsible for their impact.
He also pointed out that the U.S. Executive is simultaneously promoting a well-financed systematic communication operation in the mainstream press and digital platforms to hold the victim country responsible for the impact of these inhumane measures, which significantly affect the population.
Keeping the country on this list, in addition to being an immoral act, constitutes a violation of the most elementary rights of all the people, he remarked.
