Caribbean – Threats to Peace

The Cuban Government strongly rejects the current deployment of United States military forces in the Caribbean Sea. This dangerous action represents a serious threat and an aggressive show of force against the sovereignty and self-determination of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean. Furthermore, it ignores the commitment of the 33 Member States of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States when they proclaimed the region as a Zone of Peace.

US trying to set fire to the Caribbean

Recent weeks have seen a dramatic increase in the United States military presence in the southern Caribbean. On 18 August,  news agencies reported that the US military build-up in the area involved 3 destroyers, more than 4,000 marines, a submarine, a reconnaissance aircraft,  a guided missile cruiser and amphibious landing troops, with further vessels reported to be joining them. It is evident that this armada is designed for aggression and has nothing to do with fighting crime. The obvious intention is to threaten the government and people of Venezuela as part of the US policy of carrying out regime change in that country and installing a puppet government there.

We bring to you the statement of the workers of Gaza, issued by the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions, addressed to the workers and unions of the world—this final appeal they have named “A Cry Before Death.” It reaches us from the midst of hunger and siege, from beneath the rubble of factories and homes, and from the heart of a continuing war of extermination that has gone on for nearly 22 months alongside a systematic policy of mass starvation executed by “Israel” with direct support from the United States and its European partners.
