The members of the Cuban Medical Brigade in Maldives have been following the news in recent days related to the exceptional situation that our country has experienced, marked by the energy emergency and the impact of Hurricane Oscar, especially in the province of Guantanamo.
For this reason, we join all Cubans and the more than 40 nations and political organizations that have sent a message of solidarity to the people of Cuba.
On the other hand, we support the words of our President of the Revolutionary Government of Cuba, when he emphasizes that the main cause of the energy contingency that our country is experiencing is due to the inhuman economic and financial blockade that our country has suffered for more than 60 years, imposed by the US Government, as well as the inclusion in the list of countries that supposedly sponsor terrorism.
We maintain the conviction that once again the unity and conviction of our people, together with the Revolutionary Government and with the support and solidarity of our friends will allow us to move forward.
Dr. Daniel Posada Loriga
Head of the Cuban Medical Brigade in the Maldives
