Cuba accuses US officials of fabricating protest in Havana
This week Cuba is accusing American officials of fabricating a small protest in Havana. They are saying that the U.S. government is also financing other actions against the communist government of Cuba. The U.S. government has spoken out against the Cuba’s handling of a protest by the wives of 10 political prisoners, following the protest Policewoman carried the women to a bus and took them home. Cuba’s Foreign Ministry is blaming the U.S. for aiding a “small number of counterrevolutionary elements.”, saying that the U.S. is giving aid to Cuban dissidents, giving them radios, T-shirts, computers and literature.
Of course the Cuban government isn’t happy about this, and perhaps the U.S. is doing that but there really isn’t much they can do about it. I almost think its silly that Cuba is speaking out against he U.S. on this because I don’t see what the point is. It’s not going to change the opinion of American citizens so it won’t really effect change at home. It may just add more fire to disenchanted members of the world community who will see it as just another example of the United States becoming involved in other countries through out the world. Though I do wonder to what extent our nation is involved in these sorts of activities in Cuba, and how it may eventually effect the country. Check it out here:
