Introducing the virus was not enough: Cuba was denied access to a U.S. made chemical product and equipment to eliminate the vector spreading the disease, the Aedes aegypti mosquito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 90s, the CIA introduced more than 30 explosive devices in Cuba, of which 11 exploded in tourist facilities; while outside the island, our embassies were targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just when some thought this violent era was behind us, the attack on our embassy in Washington took place April 30th. Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00f3n Caba\u00f1as, Cuba\u2019s ambassador to the United States, said: \u201cThe verbal terrorism only lacked armed terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The constant verbal attacks and the growing hostility shown by U.S. government officials, slanders of our medical collaboration, threats, the intensification of the genocidal blockade, all constitute an incentive for those who have no other language than that of violence and terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alexander Alazo is the man who held the gun and pulled the trigger; but others promoting this aggressive policy with hateful language are responsible for providing the motive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonetheless, there are truths more eloquent than a thousand lies or slanders. Recent reports indicate that the United States government approved another two million dollars to fund \u201corganizations that will promote human rights in Cuba,&#8221; in particular for programs that directly attack Cuban medical collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subversive financing, the genocidal blockade, a man wielding an assault rifle \u2013 all part of the same plan. Without speaking a word, the U.S. send a message that is explicit and clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">source:<a href=\"http:\/\/cubasi.cu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> CubaSi<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the U.S. government has yet to say a word about the attack on Cuba\u2019s embassy in Washington, more funds to attack Cuban medical collaboration<a class=\"moretag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/silenced-truths-and-mercenary-campaigns\/\"> [&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101011,"featured_media":1786,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us-aggression"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2296,"url":"https:\/\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/us-remain-silent-after-two-months-of-attack-against-cuban-embassy\/","url_meta":{"origin":1785,"position":0},"title":"US remain silent after two months of attack against Cuban embassy","author":"Editorial Team","date":"July 3, 2020","format":false,"excerpt":"The Cuban ambassador to the United States, Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00f3n Caba\u00f1as, denounced that the government of the United States has remained silent regarding the attack against the Cuban embassy in Washington two months ago.The ambassador added that, despite the silence on this issue, the federal entity 'has had time to walk\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;US Aggression&quot;","block_context":{"text":"US Aggression","link":"https:\/\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/category\/usa\/us-aggression\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cuba-Embajada-EE.UU_.jpg?fit=748%2C498&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cuba-Embajada-EE.UU_.jpg?fit=748%2C498&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cuba-Embajada-EE.UU_.jpg?fit=748%2C498&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cuba-Embajada-EE.UU_.jpg?fit=748%2C498&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":1965,"url":"https:\/\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/cuba-asks-the-un-to-condemn-the-terrorist-attack-to-its-embassy-in-the-us\/","url_meta":{"origin":1785,"position":1},"title":"Cuba asks the UN to condemn the terrorist attack to its embassy in the US","author":"Editorial Team","date":"May 29, 2020","format":false,"excerpt":"Ana Silvia Rodriguez, Cuba's alternate permanent representative to the United Nations, sent a letter to Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, president of the General Assembly, requesting a condemnation statement related to the terrorist attack perpetrated last April 30 against her country's embassy to Washington.The diplomat sent the letter - published by the Ministry\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Featured&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Featured","link":"https:\/\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/category\/news\/featured\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017-04-03_interv._de_cuba_ante_la_undc_2017_debate_general_2.doc_.jpg?fit=683%2C384&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017-04-03_interv._de_cuba_ante_la_undc_2017_debate_general_2.doc_.jpg?fit=683%2C384&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017-04-03_interv._de_cuba_ante_la_undc_2017_debate_general_2.doc_.jpg?fit=683%2C384&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":4104,"url":"https:\/\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/60-years-since-bay-of-pigs-cuba-still-under-attack\/","url_meta":{"origin":1785,"position":2},"title":"60 Years Since Bay of Pigs, Cuba Still Under Attack","author":"Editorial Team","date":"April 23, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"In April 1961, the CIA backed an armed invasion of Cuba that was crushed by Cuba\u2019s army.
