‘Cuba Under Siege: Strategies for United Response’

NEW YORK CITY — About 225 delegates representing organizations across the United States and Canada attended the conference “Cuba Under Siege: Strategies for Resistance and a United Response.” In welcoming delegates to the meeting, Ike Nahem of the New York-New Jersey Cuba Sí Coalition, said: “The conference is taking place at an ominous time. A time of imperialist war in the Mideast and intervention in our hemisphere, marked by the January 3 U.S. attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of the country’s president Nicolás Maduro and his wife Celia Flores, and the siege of Cuba under the U.S. blockade of petroleum to the country.” Nahem called on delegates to focus on actions that represent a united response to this qualitative turn of events in the world situation.

Manolo De Los Santos, executive director of the People’s Forum in New York City and a researcher in Tricontinental, outlined his perspective in the January 4 article Venezuela’s Revolution still stands: debunking Trump’s psyop. It was first published by the People’s Dispatch and immediately reprinted by Liberation, the newspaper of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. His claims fly in the face of reality as shown by this article.
