The government of Guyana capitulating to US pressure to expel the Cuban medical brigade is shameful beyond words

Donald Trump and the Prince of Darkness, Marco Rubio, are now inflicting the unthinkable on Cuba – an embargo that deprives the Cuban people of vital petroleum and gas products that fuel a modern society’s ability to function. This is an immoral, illegal and ruthless attempt to deal a final death blow to Cuba, following 67 years of relentless US economic sanctions, blockades, sabotage and attempted regime change operations. The intention is to force this island nation to its knees. The question is, will the world allow Cuba, which has become a symbol of human dignity and resistance, refusing against all odds to surrender their inalienable right to self-determination and true independence, to fall. This current embargo threatens the very ability of Cuban society to function and provide vital services to their citizens and in so doing is life threatening. As such, it constitutes a form of genocide.
