Nigeria, July 10, 2022. The platform of the Nigerian Movement of Solidarity with Cuba issued an official note highlighting the joy of the Cuban people celebrating the first anniversary of the victory against the destabilizing plans organized by the United States on July 11, 2021.
In his statements, the unconditional support of the Solidarity Movement for the Cuban people and its Revolution stands out. Once again, the end of the genocidal blockade, implemented by the Yankee government, was demanded.
The note states:
1. The Nigerian Movement of Solidarity with Cuba wants to remember that exactly one year ago, on July 11, 2021, the Cuban population, with total determination and firmness, turned by the millions on the streets of the Island of Cuba to DEFEAT an attempt of a coup by the US. Instigated and paid mercenaries who used the US territory-Miami as their base of operations against the Cuban Revolution! The Nigeria Movement salutes and congratulates the Cuban people for this heroic resistance and victory in defending the ideas of the Cuban revolution, which has continued to endure and define a benchmark for human development!
2. The massive demonstrations of the Cuban people in millions on July 11, 2021, attested to their full support for the Revolution and their desire to live in peace with their sovereign rights, political and socioeconomic options, under the banner of Socialism, and what is the main axis of the Cuban Revolution.
3. However, the Nigerian Movement points out that the US criminal establishment intensified its policy of economic blockade and suffocation against the Cuban people during the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to instigate violent reactions within the Cuban population, what dozens of people did to express their hardships, but the Cuban people do love and defend their Revolution and so it was with July 11, 2021, so it was on MAY 1, 2022 with more than 5.5 million people, more than half of the Cuban population marching in defense of the Revolution and Socialism.
4. Likewise, we salute President Díaz-Canel and the entire leadership of the Cuban Revolution, who despite the strangling economic blockade policy and the difficulties derived from it, Cuba has managed to control the pandemic, school calendars for all levels education and health for all citizens has developed normally and progress is being made in social programs, such as those related to the advancement of women and against the remains of racism! The progress of the Cuban Revolution in the transformation of neighborhoods and communities is also praiseworthy, despite the economic suffocation policy of the United States.
5. The Nigerian Movement will always identify with the cause of the Cuban people to exercise their sovereign rights and their options for political and socioeconomic development free from exploitation and domination by any imperialist dictate. Despite the blockade faced by the Cuban population, the Cuban Revolution continues to maintain its fundamental achievements! It is highly inspiring that a new Humanity free from imperialist domination over other peoples of the world is possible!
6. We reiterate our denunciation of the criminal blockade against Cuba. It is a futile agenda that has had the objective, for more than six decades, of destabilizing the Cuban Revolution. It is doomed to fail and will continue to fail until the end
7. Again, we reiterate that the Nigeria Movement is committed to permanent solidarity with the Cuban Revolution and the Cuban people!
THE CUBAN REVOLUTION WILL SURVIVE THE CRIMINAL AMERICAN-IMPERIALIST BLOCKADE!
ALWAYS WITH THE CUBAN REVOLUTION!!
