Cuban residents in Dom. Rep. reiterate fight against US blockade

Santo Domingo, Jan 16 (Prensa Latina) The Máximo Gómez Association of Cuban Residents in the Dominican Republic said on Thursday that it will continue the fight to end the United States blockade of its country, the main obstacle to the people's progress and well-being.

A statement to which Prensa Latina had access said that although Cuba’s recent removal from Washington’s State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list is a significant advance, the economic blockade kept for more than six decades that is the fundamental obstacle to development.

It stated that Cuba should never have been included on that groundless unilateral list.

The group acknowledged that the decision by US President Joe Biden regarding Cuba at the end of his term is a positive step and in the right direction towards the achievement of relations between the two countries.

“Cuba’s permanence on that unjust list, together with the genocidal blockade imposed by the US Government, has had a harmful impact on the economic and social well-being of our families with which, as with our homeland, we maintain a permanent link,” the Máximo Gómez Association of Cubans Residents in this country noted.

“Cuba resists,” “Overthrow the blockade,” “Together for Cuba,” wrote the group in its message, in which it favored that Cuba remains off the list after the new Administration is replaced next week.
