Cubans, led by President Miguel Díaz Canel Bermudez, have staged a march to the United States Embassy in Havana to call for the removal of the blockade by the U.S. and the delisting of Cuba from the list of countries sponsoring terrorism.
On October 31, the United Nations General Assembly adopted for the 32nd time the resolution which called on the United States to end the prolonged economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba.
A statement by the Cuban embassy in Nigeria on Monday said the resolution, supported by 187 States, including Nigeria, reaffirmed once again the total support of the international community for the “just struggle of the Cuban people and government”.
“We do not profess the slightest feeling of hatred against the American people. To the noble citizens of that country, we offer our full respect, and our hand is always extended to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood between the two peoples. That is the same hand that we have extended to all US governments since the triumph of the revolution until today, always in terms of a serious, respectful relationship and on equal terms, but if the US persists in its efforts to undermine our sovereignty, our independence, our socialism, they will only find rebellion and intransigence.
“This will be a march, yes, very anti-imperialist. Against American imperialism and its attempt to impose itself in Cuba by force or seduction, we will march now and always”, it quoted the Cuban president as saying during the march.
