UN
condemnation of the U.S. blockade against Cuba grows
United
Nations, September 27.— El Salvador, Namibia,
Trinidad and Tobago, Dominica and Guyana today
joined their voices to the call to lift the U.S.
blockade imposed on Cuba, during the fourth day of
the UN General Assembly debate.
As in previous
sessions, speeches stretched into the night with
about 40 leaders again condemning Washington's
economic, commercial and financial siege against
Cuba, which has lasted more than half a century.
"Once again we
join the vast majority of countries around the world
in calling for an end to the economic blockade
imposed by the United States against the island,"
the Guyanese President, Donald Ramotar Rabindranauth,
stated.
The Salvadoran
Head of State, Salvador Sanchez Ceren, warned that
the U.S. blockade has no place in the search for
inclusive and equitable development, the central
theme of this year’s Assembly.
In the first
three days of debate at the UN General Assembly, the
presidents of Venezuela, Bolivia, South Africa,
Antigua and Barbuda, Sri Lanka, Gabon, Ghana, Peru,
Tanzania, Gambia and Chad expressed their
condemnation of the blockade.
The presidents
and prime ministers of these nations used words such
as genocide, anachronistic, illegal and unfair to
describe Washington's punishment of Cuba. (Taken
