The Red de Intelectuales, Artistas y Movimientos Sociales en Defensa de la Humanidad (REDH) \/ The Network of Intellectuals, Artists, and Social Movements in Defense of Humanity (REDH) condemned the recent declaration by the U.S. government that categorizes Cuba as an \u201cunusual and extraordinary threat\u201d to its national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement circulating this Monday in Caracas, the organization described U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s assertion as cynical and \u201clacking any foundation or morality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The REDH affirmed that this is nothing more than the desperate recourse of a declining imperial power, intended to justify the intensification of a policy of economic strangulation against a sovereign people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is a grotesque inversion of reality to present as a threat a nation besieged by more than six decades of genocidal blockade,\u201d it asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The REDH (Network for Human Rights) considered that the true threat to global peace \u201cemanates precisely from those who, from the arrogance of power, bomb nations, support colonial regimes, and disregard international law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It stated that while Cuba deploys medical brigades across five continents, the US administration imposes sanctions, foments confrontation, and bombs sovereign nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCuba does not export weapons or doctrines of hate; it exports health, education, and hope. Therein lies the abysmal difference between a project of life and a policy of death,\u201d it declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It asserted that, by criminalizing Cuba\u2019s international cooperation, the Trump administration seeks to punish the exercise of full sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, it emphasized that the imposition of new extraterritorial sanctions to obstruct fuel supplies constitutes an act of economic warfare with profound humanitarian consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This meant that their objective is clear: \u201cto try to subdue an entire population in order to force a political surrender. It is the logic of a medieval siege applied in the 21st century.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Network warned that these actions are part of \u201ca dangerous strategy that seeks to create conditions to justify broader aggressions, in a context where the US government has made the destruction of multilateralism its banner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the opinion of the Intellectuals, Artists, and Social Movements, \u201cwe are witnessing the exacerbation of a contemporary fascism that, faced with its failure to win over public opinion, resorts to brutal coercion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The REDH called on all active forces in intellectual, artistic, and social movements to denounce this new aggressive maneuver by the Trump administration against Cuba, to highlight the genocidal and extraterritorial nature of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade, and to demand its immediate lifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also to recognize and defend Cuba as what it truly is: \u201can enduring symbol of anti-imperialist resistance, sovereignty and solidarity among peoples\u201d and to understand that the battle for the defense of the island \u201ctoday is an essential trench in the global battle against fascism, xenophobia and barbarism that threaten the future of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
