We shall Overcome: Statement of the Jamaica Cuba Friendship Association
The Jamaica Solidarity Movement with Cuba joins with the rest of progressive humanity, in expressing our deep and profound regrets to our sister country, as a result of the tragic events, caused by the explosion of fuel tanks in the province of Matanzas on Friday August 5th.
We offer special words of comfort and support to the families whose loved ones have been injured by this unfortunate incident and wish for them a full and speedy recovery.
The heroic people of revolutionary Cuba has demonstrated to the world in no uncertain terms, the depth of their fortitude and resilience, which is best magnified in their struggle against the unilateral, criminal, economic, financial and commercial blockade of over 60 years imposed by the government of the United States of America.
In the best traditions of the Jamaican people, our brothers and sisters in the homeland of Marti, Fidel, Raul and Diaz Canel, can count on our unconditional support in overcoming this tragedy, as Cuba continues to provide the beacon for a better world.
We shall overcome
Trevor G Brown
President
