“Cuba is not a sponsor of terrorism,” the IP stated in a letter of appeal published on the social network X, explaining that the Caribbean nation is indeed a sponsor, but of health, peace and liberation.
Throughout its revolutionary history, more than 605,000 health professionals and technicians have provided their services in some 165 countries, the text stressed when referring to Cuban collaboration in that field.
He also said that if there is one thing Cuba supports, it is peace, for its role in the agreements to bring peace to Colombia and also in liberation, for the epic achievement of the internationalist forces of the largest of the Antilles in the liberation of Angola, Namibia and the elimination of apartheid in South Africa.
He recalled the letter that the island has been suffering for more than six decades from a blockade that, as the infamous secret memorandum of April 1960 by then Undersecretary of State Lester Mallory stated, was intended to drive the people to despair in order to overthrow their social project.
He warned that Cubans are limited in their access to basic resources such as food, medicine, construction materials, due to the blockade and that the designation on the arbitrary list of sponsors of terrorism further intensifies this unilateral siege.
In this regard, they mentioned the promise Joe Biden made when he was a candidate to review the policy towards Cuba.
“We celebrate that Cuba is a promoter of health, peace and liberation,” said the open letter, which calls for mobilization to end the long persecution that the island has suffered by the United States government.
The IP was born in Vermont with its aim of establishing a more democratic, decolonized, fair, egalitarian, supportive, sustainable, ecological, peaceful, post-capitalist, prosperous and pluralistic world, according to its promoters.
Senator Bernie Sanders, a resident of that state, is one of the promoters of this global agreement, which also includes artists with recognized social work such as Susan Sarandon, John Cusack and Danny Glover, among other personalities.
