Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 23853, member: 2262"] Zimbabwe Expresses Support for Cuba Amid US Sanctions. Zimbabwe has declared its support for Cuba following new US economic measures against the Caribbean nation. The US recently placed Cuba back on its list of state sponsors of terrorism, drawing criticism from multiple nations. Zimbabwe officials point to shared experiences with Cuba under US sanctions. Both countries face economic pressures aimed at changing their political systems. "Cuba remains strong despite decades of economic blockades and pressure," said a statement from Zimbabwe's government. "These new measures target Cuban citizens' peace and welfare." The US actions stem from policies dating back to the Monroe Doctrine. Critics say these rules aim to maintain US influence across Latin America and the Caribbean regions. Cuba's international aid programs have earned praise worldwide. The country sent medical teams to help other nations and supported several African independence movements, including Zimbabwe's liberation struggle. "Cuban doctors and teachers helped build our nation," the statement noted. "We remember their support during our fight for independence." Zimbabwe leaders called the latest US sanctions "desperate moves" that violate international law. They stressed these actions affect all nations seeking independence from foreign control. The relationship between Zimbabwe and Cuba centers on their shared opposition to external pressure. Both nations emphasize their right to choose their own political and economic paths. Zimbabwe joined other countries in predicting Cuba will survive these new challenges. Officials praised Cuba's commitment to maintaining its chosen system despite ongoing difficulties. "Our nations stand together against these pressures," the statement concluded. "Cuba's strength proves that unity defeats outside interference." [/QUOTE]
