The Communist Youth Federation of Sri Lanka. Statement on placing Cuba on the list of countries sponsoring terrorism
The Communist Youth Federation of Sri Lanka condemns the decision of the US government to keep Cuba on the List of countries that “sponsor terrorism”.
Although Cuba does not appear on the current list of countries that “do not fully cooperate with US counter-terrorism efforts in the year 2023” contained in US Secretary of State Blinken’s report to Congress, Cuba remains on the existing US list of states that sponsor terrorism. While Cuba does not support terrorism in any way, but is itself a victim of economic and other terrorism organized by the United States.
