UN human rights experts warn that Cuba is becoming a "silent Gaza."
In a statement released this morning, the experts say that the U.S. economic war on Cuba has created “a full-blown crisis, threatening the rights to health, to life, to food and to development."
🇨🇳🤝🇨🇺 While the U.S. focuses it's attention and wastes taxpayer dollars to torture the Cuban people with a fuel blockade, China has announced a donation of 5000 solar panels for Cuban homes.
You can't blockade the sun!
"It would also deal a blow to global norms on freedom of navigation and set a precedent that much of the world would find disturbing — that nations can shut down trade choke points at will".
¿DOES THIS LOGIC APPLY TO US BLOCKADE ON OIL SHIPMENTS TO CUBA?

Privar hoy a un país de combustibles, por vía de la fuerza y la coerción es un crimen, como lo era en el medioevo sitiar a una población y negarse agua y alimentos para que murieran de sed y hambre.
Cuba has run out of diesel and fuel oil and is enduring some of the worst blackouts in decades because of the US’s cruel oil blockade.
This failed policy needs to end immediately. Every day, we are contributing to immense suffering in Cuba and a worsening humanitarian crisis.

#Cuba is not a threat to U.S. national security. Washington is building a false narrative to justify dangerously escalating hostilities against the Cuban people.
Cuba's military capacity is defensive, and its foreign policy is based on cooperation and sovereignty.
🚨🇨🇺 🇧🇷 BREAKING — Lula on Cuba:
“Cuba wants to find a solution, the blockade never allowed them to be free since the Revolution.”
“I think it is the biggest blockade, the longest blockade in the history of humanity.”
Miente desvergonzadamente el Secretario de Estado de EEUU para tratar de encubrir la responsabilidad directa de su gobierno en el abuso, atropello, intento de asfixia y castigo colectivo al que somete a toda una población con fines de dominación sobre #Cuba🇨🇺.
#TumbaElBloqueo
Saliendo de una reunión con el Papa, aún sabiendo el compromiso de Sumo Pontífice con la paz, la justica y la dignidad humana, el Sec Estado de EEUU arremete contra el pueblo cubano con nuevas medidas de castigo colectivo en su guerra despiadada y genocida contra Cuba.
EXCLUSIVE: Cuba's foreign minister responds to President Trump’s threats of military actions, warning that the U.S. is on a "dangerous path" that could lead to a "bloodbath in Cuba." ABC News' Whit Johnson has more from Havana. https://t.co/bTLICsPgmL
Con la Orden Ejecutiva del 1° de Mayo, al gobierno de #EEUU se le cae su máscara del bloqueo como un asunto bilateral.
Explícita y directamente amplía brutalmente la aplicación de sus medidas económicas coercitivas extraterritoriales contra cualquiera que mantenga una relación con #Cuba.
Se arremete contra la soberanía de todos los demás Estados al intentar controlar sus activos, empresas, bancos y cualquier otra institución que le apetezca al gobierno estadounidense.
🇨🇺🔊The Executive Order of May 1st and the blockade measures announced today increase the harm to the Cuban population and reinforce the threat of aggression.
Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejects, in the strongest terms, the Executive Order issued by the White House on May 1, 2026, which intensifies, to extreme and unprecedented levels, the economic, financial and commercial blockade against Cuba.
Likewise, it condemns the decision of the United States Treasury Department of May 7, 2026, which added the Cuban entities Gaesa and MoaNickel SA to the List of Specially Designated Nationals, this being the first coercive measure derived from the order signed on May 1.
This is a ruthless act of economic aggression that amplifies the extraterritorial effects of the blockade, with the potential application of secondary sanctions against foreign companies, banks, and entities, even if their business in the United States has no connection to Cuba. This measure will further hinder the functioning of the national economy, which has already been facing the devastating effects of the oil blockade imposed on January 29, 2026, paralyzing fuel exports to the country.
Acting as the world's policeman and in blatant violation of international law and the fundamental principles of free trade in goods and services, the sovereign right of all states that have or wish to maintain economic, commercial, and financial relations with Cuba is being explicitly, blatantly, and directly attacked. The highest U.S. authorities, particularly the Secretary of State, are attempting to force the international community, through blackmail and intimidation, to submit to and comply with the blockade.
No country is exempt from this threat of extending genocide against the Cuban people, attempting to force Cuba's isolation from the international economic and financial scene.
We warn that this aggression against the Cuban economy and people will only achieve its intended destructive effect if sovereign and independent nations allow themselves to be intimidated and coerced by the United States government. We know that the world will never meekly accept illegal regulations, will not relinquish sovereign equality, nor will it leave its citizens, businesses, corporations, and financial institutions unprotected. The international community has historically opposed and condemned the genocide being perpetrated against the Cuban people by the United States government, a genocide that has lasted for almost seven decades.
We denounce the criminal nature of these aggressive measures aimed at starving and desperationing the entire Cuban population and attempting to generate a social, economic, and political catastrophe on a national scale. We also reject the intention of the United States government to create a humanitarian crisis to justify more dangerous actions, including military aggression against Cuba.
In all international forums, Cuba will continue to denounce the blockade. Likewise, we urge the international community to confront this onslaught, which constitutes a dangerous escalation in the United States' desire to exercise domination and control over Cuba's destiny, violating the independence and sovereignty of all states.
Havana, May 7, 2026
Trump has instructed the US Department of War to make military plans to attack Cuba.
This is despite the overwhelming majority of Americans being opposed to the US waging war on Cuba.
Trump has been ignoring the majority of Americans who are against the US war on Iran, so please do not be complacent about Cuba.
Step up solidarity with Cuba now!

Americans Oppose US War with Cuba by 64% to 15%, New YouGov Poll Finds.
“It is unusual in history for a leader to use another war as a distraction for a war that is unpopular among voters” said @MarkWeisbrot . “But this seems like a real possibility here"
