Each year for the past 29 consecutive years the United Nations General Assembly representing most of the worlds people, has overwhelmingly voted to adopt a resolution calling for the end to the illegal economic, commercial, and financial embargo unilaterally imposed by the United States against the people of the Republic of Cuba.
This year, the people of the world is more energized and determined to end once and for all this scar on the face of civilization, called the embargo. The struggle inside the USA in solidarity with Cuba has intensified. Cuba medical professional’s role in being the front line against the Pandemic around the world has also resulted in an international consciousness about the suffering and death caused by the US blockade on Cuba. The solidarity struggle for Cuba has also intensified internationally.
