Panafrican Federalist Movement in Jamaica shoulder to shoulder with Cuba

Statement of the Panafrican Federalist Movement in Jamaica in support of Cuba

As African descendants, knowing the pain and destruction that the imperialist system has plagued on freedom loving people throughout the world, WE, the members of the Panafrican Federalist Movement in Jamaica, declare:

• We condemn in the strongest way, the attempts by the current leadership of the United States of America to asphyxiate the economy of our sister country of Cuba by bringing untold hardship on its people. The economic, commercial and financial blockade must be lifted once and forever! The extraterritorial application of the repugnant Helms Burton Act must be stopped!

• We fully support the right of the people of Cuba to determine their own direction, without the interference from outside imperialist forces, and We firmly stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters of Cuba in their resistance to the imperialist domination.

• We will keep firm in our conviction in following our way of love, peace and harmony; but never will our love of a peaceful life find us weak and afraid to stand our ground.

• We call on all well-thinking Jamaicans to join us in raising their voices in opposition to the United States Government's genocide actions against Cuba.

¡Viva Cuba!

¡Viva la Revolución!
