UN Condemnation to US Blockade Against Cuba Grows

El Salvador, Namibia, Trinidad and Tobago, Dominica and Guyana joined their voices in favor of lifting the US blockade imposed to Cuba during the debate of the UN General Assembly, in its fourth day of session today.

As in previous sessions, interventions concluded yesterday and into the night with about 40 leaders on the dais, condemning again Washington's economic, commercial and financial siege for more than half a century.

'Once again we join the vast majority of countries around the world in calling for an end to economic blockade by the United States against the island', said here Guyanese President Donald Ramotar Rabindranauth.

The Salvadoran Head of State, Salvador Sanchez Ceren, warned that the American blockade has no place in the search for an inclusive and equitable development, the central theme of the general debate of the Assembly this year.

For his part, President of Dominica, Angelo Charles Savarin said that �s a concern for the Caribbean.

In the first three days of debate in the UN General Assembly expressed their condemnation to the blockade presidents of Venezuela, Bolivia, South Africa, Antigua and Barbuda, Sri Lanka, Gabon, Ghana, Peru, Tanzania, Gambia and Chad.

Presidents and prime ministers of those nations expressed words like genocide, anachronistic, illegal and unfair to describe the Washington's punishment against the Greater Antilles.
