We stand with Cuba. Statement of the Jamaica-Cuba Friendship Association
The Jamaica Solidarity movement with Cuba, joins with the rest of progressive humanity and all well-thinking people, in condemning in the strongest possible way, the recent attempts on March 17th by a moribund US empire, aided and abetted by their bribed and bullied lackeys both inside and outside of our sister country, to manipulate the just grievance of our Cuban brothers and sisters in Santiago de Cuba for a more adequate supply of food and stable energy, as ‘part and parcel’ of their decades-old campaign to destabilize and turn-back the Cuban revolution.
Haiti will always count on Cuba's support and solidarity.
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Republic of Haiti is suffering a serious multidimensional crisis that exacerbates the social instability, poverty and structural underdevelopment caused by centuries of colonial and neo-colonial plunder and foreign interventions.
The international community owes a great debt to Haiti, a Caribbean nation that was the protagonist of the continent's first independence, anti-slavery and social revolution, which has suffered the cruel and selfish reprisals of imperialist powers for more than two centuries.
