In a promotional video circulating on social media, several organizations are calling for a solidarity caravan with the island, which will depart at midday Saturday from the Minerva monument at the University of El Salvador to the Cuban Embassy in this capital.
“Cuba is a deeply solidarity nation. Stop the US blockade!. Cuba has extended its hand to many people in the world. Cuba is not a threat. Today, more than ever, solidarity breaks down walls,” are some of the phrases in the promotional video calling for participation in the caravan.
The organizers, united in a spirit of brotherhood, condemned the criminal siege that is currently stifling the sister Republic of Cuba and the “anachronistic and ruthless US blockade against Cuba.”
Organizers noted that the caravan participants will speak out against “the oil siege, which is nothing more than a deliberate attempt to surrender a dignified people by hunger and darkness,” while holding the United States government responsible “for every hardship and every pain that this siege imposes on Cuban society.”
The rejection of Cuba’s arbitrary inclusion in Washington’s State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list will be a slogan for the caravan participants, who consider it an affront to reason that the world’s largest perpetrator of wars should attempt to judge a nation that has made medicine and education its primary banner of solidarity and cooperation.
