Zimbabwe Anti-Sanctions Trust renews solidarity with Cuba

Harare, January 24, 2025- The Zimbabwe Anti-Sanctions Organization today renewed support for Cuba in the face of President Donald Trump's decision to reinstate the Caribbean nation on the illegal and unjust list of countries sponsoring terrorism.

We, the Zimbabwe Anti-Sanctions Trust, stand in unwavering solidarity with the people of Cuba in these tumultuous times, with revealed and disturbing pattern of hypocrisy that undermines international law and the principles of self-determination and sovereignty.

Statement of the Revolutionary Government

US President Donald Trump lashes out against Cuba from day one and without pretext. The decision to reinstate the tough economic warfare measures against Cuba, which his predecessor removed just days before, proves the aggressiveness of US imperialism against the sovereignty, peace and welfare of the Cuban people. These measures comprise the inclusion of our country, once again, in the arbitrary list of States that allegedly sponsor terrorism, a designation that shows an absolute disregard for the truth.

Solidarity with Cuba: A Call for Justice and the End of the Blockade

Harare, January 20, 2025- Solidarity with Cuba, the call for justice and an end to the U.S. blockade of Cuba are the focus of today's publication of The Pan Afrikanist, a center for the restoration of African dignity.

While the removal of Cuba from the State Department's list of so-called sponsors of terrorism, the suspension of lawsuits under Title III of the Helms-Burton Act and the lifting of restrictions on certain financial transactions are a step in the right direction, they are but small cracks in the walls of an unjust and inhumane blockade.

Zimbabwe Anti-Sanctions Trust in solidarity with Cuba

Harare, 18 January 2025- The Zimbabwe Anti-Sanctions Trust today reiterated its solidarity with the people of Cuba in facing the challenges of the prolonged economic blockade imposed by the United States. 
   We recognise that while steps have been taken to ease some sanctions, such as the removal of the unjust list of countries sponsoring terrorism, they fall short in addressing the fundamental rights and freedoms of Cubans, emphasises a statement released in this capital.

Declaration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba

As part of the close and fluid relations with the Vatican, the Government of Cuba has remained in touch with Pope Francis and his representatives and, as has occurred in the past, has kept His Holiness informed about the processes of review of the convictions and the release on imprisoned person, a practice that is common in our judicial system and has characterized the humanitarian record of the Revolution.

The United States takes steps in the right direction, but the blockade remains in force.

Despite its limited scope, this is a decision that points to the right direction and is in line with the sustained and firm demand by the government and the people of Cuba, as well as the broad, emphatic and reiterated call by numerous governments, particularly those of Latin America and the Caribbean; Cubans residing abroad; political, religious and social organizations and numerous political figures of the United States and other countries.  The government of Cuba expresses its gratitude to all of them for their contribution and sensitivity.
