Addis Ababa, July 9, 2021. South Sudan, the youngest nation in Africa, is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its independence today. On that occasion, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez sent a message of congratulations to the President of the Republic of South Sudan, H. E. Mr. Salva Kiir Mayardit, ratifying the will to continue developing the historic relations of friendship that unite both peoples.
Washington’s accusation in its report that Cuba engages in people trafficking is a lie
On July 1, 2021, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken submitted his department’s ‘2020 Trafficking in Persons Report’, a document which, in common with others of the kind published by the Department, entirely lacks international or moral authority; it is a vehicle purely for false accusations and political blackmail.

In 2020, Cuba, like the rest of the world, was faced with the singular challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The US Administration took on the virus as an ally in its merciless non-conventional war; it deliberately and opportunistically stepped up the economic, commercial and financial blockade, bringing about losses for the country in the amount of around 5 billion dollars.
