Voices from Botswana join the international movement condemning the inclusion of Cuba in the unilateral List of States Sponsors of Terrorism, of the US State Department.
Countless examples demonstrate that Cuba is not a terrorist country.
Reality is the other way around. Cuba is more a victim of terrorist actions organized from the US territory, with both human and material highly costs.
Cuban people suffers and resists the cruel policy of blockade, imposed precisely by the government that includes her in that hypocrite List. The US blockades against Cuba is a genocide act aimed to destroy the achievements of the Cuban Revolution.
With dignity and principles Cuba maintains its position against terrorism, in all its forms and manifestations.
Where the US government sends armies Cuba sends health professionals to save lives.
Cuba is a small and generous nation that deserves more gratitude, acknowledgments and congratulations, than hypocritical criticism, with absurd arguments, all part of a political exercise to manipulate the issue and damage the image of Cuba.
Long live the Cuban people!
Long live the Cuban Revolution!
Viva Cuba!
