Solidarity with the Cuban people!

Hands off Cuba!

Following its imperialist intervention in Venezuela, the Trump administration, with
sheer audacity, is further escalating its aggression against Cuba, resorting to
absurd arguments and pretexts. In this context, it is planning a new operation to
economically and commercially suffocate the Island of the Revolution by
imposing tariffs and sanctions on states that supply Cuba with oil and other vital
commodities, while even raising the possibility of a “naval blockade” of Cuba.

These measures come on top of the criminal blockade that the USA and its allies
have imposed on Cuba for decades, subjecting the Cuban people to severe
deprivation and shortages, as well as other actions by the Trump administration —
continuing the policies of previous administrations— such as the reinstatement of
Cuba on the despicable list of so-called “state sponsors of terrorism”.
We condemn the new threats of US imperialism against Cuba!

We express our solidarity with the Cuban people, the Communist Party of Cuba,
and the Union of Young Communists of Cuba, who, drawing on their revolutionary
traditions, can and will succeed in repelling this attack!

We call on the youth of every country to intensify their struggle and express their
solidarity with the Island of the Revolution, demanding an end to the threats and
the barbaric blockade of the island.

Cuba is not alone!

We march forward until the final victory of the peoples!

Solidarité avec Cuba!

La YCL-LJC exprime sa solidarité avec le peuple cubain alors que les défis posés par l’ouragan Oscar à Guantanamo et la récente panne d’électricité dans toute l’île sont intentionnellement exacerbés par le blocus des États-Unis contre Cuba révolutionnaire.

Pour la 32e année consécutive, l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies a voté à une écrasante majorité contre le blocus américain de Cuba. Les résultats du vote ont été les suivants : 187 États membres ont voté pour condamner le blocus et seuls les États-Unis et Israël ont voté contre la résolution.

Le vote a été accompagné d’un rapport détaillé préparé par le secrétariat général des Nations unies avec les contributions de 180 pays et de 30 organisations affiliées.

Le rapport de Cuba souligne que « le blocus est un crime contre l’humanité, un acte de génocide et une violation flagrante, massive et systématique des droits de l’homme de plus de 11 millions de Cubains. Il s’agit d’une politique cruelle de punition ».

La YCL-LJC salue notre organisation sœur, l’Union des jeunes communistes de Cuba (UJC), qui a organisé plus de 600 jeunes de toutes les provinces de Cuba en brigades d’aide à Guantanamo. Ils sont rejoints par de nombreux autres jeunes volontaires courageux des fédérations étudiantes universitaires et du secondaire. Nous remercions les jeunes courageux qui se rendent à Guantanamo en ces temps difficiles.

¡Hasta la victoria siempre!

Solidarity with Cuba! 

The YCL-LJC expresses our solidarity with the people of Cuba as recovery efforts from hurricane Oscar in Guantanamo and the challenges from the recent island-wide electrical blackout are being intentionally exacerbated by the United States blockade against revolutionary Cuba. 

For the 32nd consecutive year, the United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly voted against the U.S. blockade of Cuba. The results of the vote were 187 member states voting to condemn the blockade and only the United States and Israel voting against the resolution. 

The vote was accompanied by a detailed report prepared by the UN General Secretariat with contributions from 180 countries and 30 affiliated organizations.

The report from Cuba outlined that “the blockade is a crime against humanity, an act of genocide and a flagrant, massive and systematic violation of the human rights of more than 11 million Cubans. It is a cruel policy of punishment.” 

The YCL-LJC salutes our sister organisation the Union of Young Communists of Cuba (UJC) for organising more than 600 young people from all provinces of Cuba into aid brigades to Guantanamo. They are joined by many more brave young volunteers from the university and secondary student federations. We thank the courageous young people going to Guantanamo in its time of need. 

Hasta la victoria siempre!
