“We strongly condemn the ongoing military aggression by the #USA against #Venezuela. The bombings and acts of war against Caracas and other locations in the country are cowardly acts against a nation that has not attacked the US or any other country,” the Foreign Minister declared on X.

The Cuban government today strongly condemned the recent airstrikes perpetrated by the United States against Venezuelan territory, calling them an act of state terrorism and a flagrant violation of the South American nation's sovereignty.

Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Cuban Government strongly rejects the current deployment of United States military forces in the Caribbean Sea. This dangerous action represents a serious threat and an aggressive show of force against the sovereignty and self-determination of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean. Furthermore, it ignores the commitment of the 33 Member States of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States when they proclaimed the region as a Zone of Peace.

Namibia, July 16th, 2021- During the past few days, there were reports of widespread protests in Cuba. In some media they were presented as uprisings against the government of Cuba and parallels were even drawn to the protests in Eswatini against elite corruption and royal dictatorship. We wish to clarify the events in Cuba and place them into their political and socio-economic context.
