Washington’s latest attack on the Caribbean island has nothing to do with justice, democracy, or human rights; rather, it is another chapter in the long and bloody history of imperialist aggression against a small but defiant socialist nation that refuses to submit.

Mafa’s text, published in regional media outlets such as ModernGhana, is a despicable accusation, based on the cynical manipulation of the 1996 incident involving aircraft operated by the Brothers to the Rescue terrorist organization.

The article remembers that these aircraft repeatedly violated Cuban airspace in deliberate acts of provocation, and Havana had every sovereign right to defend its territory, its people, and the Revolution.

The document adds that imperialism has treated Cuba for decades as if it had no right to self-determination, through acts of sabotage, assassination attempts, economic warfare, biological attacks, and terrorist operations. The current actions, it states, are a continuation of an agenda that has failed for more than 60 years.

Mafa stated that Washington has repeatedly used overwhelming military force, justifying it with unfounded accusations and for political expediency. International law loses its meaning when interpreted by an empire.
