Kingston, 6 October 2023. Members of the Association of Cuban Residents in Jamaica (ACRJ) "Antonio Maceo", the Cuba Solidarity Movement, political forces, youth and social movements, as well as a representation of health and education collaborators convened at the Embassy of Cuba in Jamaica to pay tribute to the victims of state terrorism against Cuba and to commemorate CARICOM-Cuba Day against terrorism.
Montego Bay, 4 October 2023. Ambassador of Cuba to Jamaica Fermín Quiñones Sánchez, held a meeting with Mr. Oral Heaven, president of the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and other members of its board of directors.
The Association of Cuban Residents in Jamaica Mayor General Antonio Maceo (ACREJ), wishes to express its solidarity with the personnel of the Embassy of the Republic of Cuba in Washington DC, in view of the terrorist attack perpetrated on Sunday, September 24 by alleged counterrevolutionary elements.
This is the second attack to take place, after the shooting with an AK-47 rifle against the façade of the Cuban Embassy in Washington, carried out by the Cuban-American citizen Alexander Alazo on April 30, 2020.
The terrorist attack at the Cuban Embassy in the U.S. September 24, 2023, is but another example of U.S. imperialism’s political and economic war against the Cuban people and their noble efforts to build a socialist society. World history is clear that U.S. imperialism is the leading financier and purveyor of terrorism and violence in the world today. Although mandated by international law and to “protect the premises of the mission against intrusion or damage and to avoid disturbing the tranquillity of the mission or violating its dignity”[i], U.S.
We condemn the attack on the Cuban Embassy in Washington DC which took place this past Sunday, the 24th of September. We stand in solidarity with the Cuban people.
This attack follows decades of violent terrorism against the Cuban state and people, including some in recent years. A similar attack on the Cuban Embassy in the US occurred in 2020 and a global network of far-right groups targeted Cuban missions in different countries in 2021. This involved petrol bombs being thrown at the Cuban Embassy in France.
