President Biden can, with a stroke of his pen, remove Cuba from the State Dept. State Sponsors of Terrorism list and he must do so. Anyone who knows anything about Cuba knows that Cuba does not belong on this list. This was part of Trump’s ignorant attempt to show that his hundreds of executive orders against Cuba were justified.
Cuba's placement on this list is an affront not only to the people of Cuba but to all who struggle for justice and peace. It is an attempt to legitimize the ongoing economic warfare perpetrated by the US government, that condemns children to hunger, the sick to suffering, and all Cubans to increased hardship.
Policies from Cuba aim at sustainable aging in the face of the enormous challenges posed by its demographic dynamics, according to the president of the Chair of the Elderly at the University of Havana, Teresa Orosa, who participates in the 14th Session of the United Nations Open-Ended Working Group on Aging.
Cuba has never stood idly by and we have developed a capacity for resistance. I would even say, after the experiences during COVID-19, that it is a creative resistance, because the country has not only been capable of resisting the onslaught of the blockade, but the country under these conditions has advanced, has contributed, has grown as a nation and, furthermore, has developed.
Cuba reiterated that admission of Palestine as a UN Member State is an urgent need and an essential step to advance towards a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “The historical injustice that has prevented Palestinian brothers from participating in the UN with equal rights must be reversed, without further delay,” said Ambassador Ernesto Soberón Guzmán.
