FROM THE DESKO OF JAMAICA PATRIOTIC MOVEMENT.
On behalf of the peace-loving people of Jamaica, we call on the United States government to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsor of Terrorism.

The Council for Foreign and Community Relations (COFCOR) welcomes the decision of the Government of the United States of America (USA) to remove the Republic of Cuba from its list of states that are “not cooperating fully” in its fight against terrorism.
COFCOR notes, however, that the Republic of Cuba remains on the US State Department’s list of countries that have been deemed by the USA to be State Sponsors of Terrorism. COFCOR therefore, renews its call for the urgent removal of Cuba from the list of countries deemed to be State Sponsors of Terrorism.
