Mr. President,
The Global Pan African Movement condemns the Illegal Blockade, the imposition of Coercive Sanctions, and the Listing and Labelling Disinformation Tactics employed by the United States against and the Cuban People and their government.
The Global Pan African Movement stands in solidarity with the People and Government of Cuba demanding the immediate removal of Cuba from the US Government’s politically determined systematically concocted, biased and unjustified list of countries that the US government unilaterally decrees support terrorism’!
