US Hands off Cuba
Statement by the United National Antiwar Coalition
[Pro-cuba protest]
This is a picture of a pro-government protest in Cuba that the corporate media said was antigovernmental
Cuba, a small island with a population of only 11 million people and few resources has been the target of US imperialism since its revolution in 1959. It has been subject to invasions such as that at the Bay of Pigs, many assassination attempts of Fidel Castro, and the US has imposed a crippling blockade for years. However, under the Trump and Biden administrations these attacks have been stepped-up. Trump greatly increased the sanctions against Cuba and labeled it as a terrorist country. This further hindered its ability to trade with other countries as banks and markets were closed to Cuba causing severe shortages and hardships for the Cuban people. The Biden administration maintained these increased sanctions and the terrorist label and is trying to organize demonstrations against the Cuban government based on dissatisfaction with the shortages. This is especially criminal during the COVID-19 crisis, during which the US sanctions have not allow medicine or medical equipment into the country. [read more<

US Hands off Nicaragua
Days after Daniel Ortega won the election in Nicaragua with more than 75% of the vote, The Biden administration signed the RENACER Act. Among other things, the RENACER act directs US representatives at international financial institutions to advocate against loans and financial or technical assistance for Nicaragua. As with other sanctions, these are designed to hurt the people of Nicaragua and encourage them to oppose their government. In the inverted logic of the US government, elections are not democratic but imposing the will of Washington through sanctions is.
Below is an article in Black Agenda Report from Margaret Kimberley who is a member of the UNAC administrative committee and was in Nicaragua to observe the elections as part of a delegation of the Black Alliance for Peace.

Eyewitness accounts of the electoral process reveal the manipulations and lies concocted by the U.S. and its corporate media partners in this latest regime change effort. [read more<
