Cuba. The United States will keep the island on its list of state sponsors of terrorism

Latin America Digest, September 24, 2023.

US State Department spokeswoman Cristina Rosales confirmed that “Cuba is still on the list, there is no change, there is no announcement or any news,” and stressed that any decision in this regard will only be communicated by the United States. Not through a third country.

Despite growing demand from the international community for the United States government to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, that country’s State Department spokeswoman, Cristina Rosales, has just announced the White House’s decision to persevere with the injustice. And lies.

The official spokesman responded to the request of Colombian President Gustavo Petro at the United Nations, who requested that Cuba be removed from the list.

Rosales stressed that “Cuba is still on the list, there is no change, there is no announcement or any news,” and stressed that any decision in this regard will only be communicated by the United States, and not through a third country.

The Yankee official is right, her government alone is responsible for this arbitrariness, and only her government will respond to the inevitable judgment of history.

The response is directed to hundreds of countries, to millions of people in the world and in their countries, who consider Cuba’s commitment to the fight against terrorism to be unquestionable and to use that list as a tool to pressure the suppression of terrorism. Punishing the dignity of the nation.

It is not a coincidence that weeks ago they used one of the main elements of the Cuban-American far right, Orlando Gutierrez Borronat, to promote a campaign aimed at trying to implicate Cuba in the alleged sending of mercenaries to the war in Ukraine.

The film, worthy of the worst films ever made in Hollywood studios, with a second-rate cast, a fifth-rate script and a million-dollar budget, despite its resounding failure at the box office, tried to fit the narrative that presented the Greater Antilles as the Greater Antilles . A terrorist state, or supports that scourge.

It is also no coincidence that before the State Department spokesman’s announcement, several media outlets began to spread the opinion matrix that Cuba, after its “immersion into the war”, had “only a few friends” left in the United States. To support its deletion.

However, whatever the White House says, the naked truth is more valuable than any lie, no matter how good it looks; The truth is on the side of the supportive, generous, and rebellious island.
