Pretoria, 20 May 2024.- The Friends of Cuba Society, FOCUS, condemned in a statement the island's continued inclusion on the State Department's spurious and unilateral list of countries sponsoring terrorism.
This volunteer organisation, which seeks to promote solidarity with the people and sovereign government of Cuba, demands that the United States of America remove Cuba from the so-called "State Sponsors of Terrorism List". The message refers to the statement recently published by the Cuban Foreign Ministry which states, "This is an absolutely unilateral and unfounded list, whose only purpose is to slander and serve as a pretext for the adoption of coercive economic measures against sovereign states, such as those ruthlessly applied against Cuba".
FOCUS demands that the United States comply with the resolutions that have been adopted for more than three decades in the United Nations General Assembly to end the immoral and unjust blockade, which has harmed the Cuban people for more than 60 years and, it also demands that Cuba be removed from the "List of State Sponsors of Terrorism".
