Cubans in Angola call to denounce US blockade

The Cuban community in Angola has urged Cubans worldwide to reject the US economic, commercial, and financial blockade against Cuba. The call was issued from Luanda on December 14.

In Luanda, Angola, the Community of Cubans Residing in Angola issued a call on December 14 for their compatriots around the world to denounce the blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba. This restrictive measure has affected the Caribbean island's economy and development for decades, limiting trade and financial transactions.

The initiative aims to unite voices against what they view as an aggressive and unilateral policy. According to the statement, the blockade continues despite repeated international condemnations, and the community in Angola stresses the need for global solidarity to push for its end. No specific planned actions were detailed, but the message highlights the impact on Cubans' daily lives.

This effort fits into a long tradition of Cuban resistance to external sanctions, with overseas communities playing a key role in spreading the cause.
