By Benjamin Flowers: As anti-government protests rage on in Cuba, former Prime Minister of Belize Said Musa has publicly declared his support for the country and its people.
Musa took to his Facebook account today, noting that, while protests are an occurrence that every nation in the world must contend with on occasion, the people of Cuba have a unique situation.
Orestes Hernandez, Minister Counsellor, Embassy of Cuba in Belize: “I have to say that yes that there was some events and in some locations in Cuba on July 11th there was some hundreds of people in different locations in Cuba that went to the streets demonstrating some concerns about the situation that we are facing but this is not just a news like this one. You need to put everything in context especially in the case of Cuba to understand what is happening.
