CUBA

At the end of this week, the 2011 Cuban film Habanastation, reached every home in Saint Kitts and Nevis through its national television, in the evening hours. The National Broadcasting Corporation, ZIZ, from Saint Kitts and NTV, from Nevis served as platforms for the screening of the Cuban feature film that has been enjoyed by different generations of the St. Kitts and Nevis families.

No me equivoqué cuando dije que no estaré en la Cumbre de las Américas pero la voz de Cuba sí lo estará. Eres nuestra voz. La Revolución siempre lo ha tenido muy claro: dondequiera que los gobiernos nos quiten la voz, allí estarán los pueblos para representarnos, para hablar por nosotros.

REMARKS TO THE CUBAN CIVIL SOCIETY EXCLUDED FROM THE SUMMIT OF THE AMERICAS

Comrades all;

Allow me to begin with words that were told more than one century ago:

“When a strong nation wants to fight a battle with another, it demands allegiance and service from those nations dependent upon it. The first thing a nation does to dominate another is to separate it from other nations.”

The US Government, abusing its privilege of being the host country, decided at a very early stage to exclude Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua from the 9th Summit of the Americas to be held in the city of Los Angeles this month of June. It has refused to attend to the just claims of many governments to change that discriminatory and unacceptable stand.
