I'm happy to announce this new paper — we compile evidence on the extraordinary harms caused by IMF and World Bank structural adjustment programmes in the global South since the 1980s. The empirical record is devastating: documented negative impacts on wages, poverty, inequality, maternal mortality, infant mortality, healthcare access, etc. SAPs inflicted misery on the periphery in order to curtail their consumption, scupper independent development, and make labour and resources more cheaply available for the core. gh.bmj.com/content/11/Sup…

Llegó a La Habana el tercer envío de arroz donado por China 🇨🇳, como parte de los vínculos de cooperación que mantienen ambas naciones. Con esta entrega se completa la donación de 30 mil toneladas anunciada por la Embajada de China en enero último. 🔗: cubaminrex.cu/es/llego-la-ha…

En el 67 aniversario de los Órganos de la Seguridad del Estado, felicitamos a sus miembros, quienes con patriotismo, valentía y entrega han defendido a Cuba 🇨🇺 frente a amenazas. ¡Honor a quienes protegen la Patria con coraje y compromiso! #CubaEstáFirme

⚕️🇨🇺 @nytimes "Cuban Patients Are Dying Because of U.S. Blockade, Doctors Say. In interviews, six Cuban doctors said that rapidly deteriorating conditions at hospitals and clinics across Cuba were causing deaths that would otherwise be preventable. The blockade’s effects are cascading through the system. Hospitals are canceling surgeries and sending patients home because doctors and nurses can’t commute to work. Clinics are struggling to administer treatments like chemotherapy and dialysis because of power outages. Production of medicine has been mostly halted because factories run on diesel. Vaccine makers are searching for ingredients because flights that once carried them are canceled because of a lack of jet fuel." 📸Jorge Luis Baños nytimes.com/2026/03/26/wor…

A recent #US poll revealed that 61 per cent of the citizens of that country are opposed to a military attack by their government against #Cuba, as compared to only 13 per cent who support that belligerent action. The US government should heed and attend to the demands of the majority of its population and voters, as they committed to do when they were elected. The US people is sick and tired of decades of unjust wars, aggressions and military operations in which their taxes are funding ever higher military budgets, while the public funds necessary to ensure people's well-being are being proportionately reduced.

#CARICOM TO SEND HUMANITARIAN SUPPLIES TO CUBA 🇨🇺 #CARICOM governments are preparing to dispatch humanitarian aid to Cuba, following a decision announced by CARICOM Chairman, the Honourable Dr Terrance Drew at the 50th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government held in St Kitts and Nevis on 24 – 27 February 2026. The humanitarian effort is being coordinated by the CARICOM Secretariat, headquartered in Georgetown, Guyana🇬🇾. Items such as powdered milk, including baby formula; non-perishables such as beans, wheat flour, rice, and canned goods; basic medical supplies, solar panels, batteries, and water tanks, will be purchased on behalf of Member States and shipped to Cuba. CARICOM’s initiative is supported by the Government of Mexico 🇲🇽, which has identified suppliers in Mexico able to deliver the items to the port of departure, and which will provide free shipment from Mexico to Cuba.

Con feroz presión y chantaje, el gobierno de #EEUU actúa en América Latina y el Caribe para asegurarse de que las Brigadas Médicas Cubanas abandonen todos los países de la región donde se encuentran. No sólo pretenden golpear el programa humanista y solidario creado por #Cuba y Fidel, y seguir cortando fuentes de ingresos de nuestra economía. Castigan a los pueblos y comunidades más desfavorecidas de la región, que durante décadas han recibido la atención médica cubana. A cambio prometen recursos que sabemos que nunca llegarán ni beneficiarán a esas poblaciones.

Proezas cubanas en el campo de batalla de Cuito Cuanavale y su virtuosismo en la mesa de negociaciones fueron decisivas para obligar a Sudáfrica a aceptar independencia de Namibia. A pesar de todos los esfuerzos de EEUU para impedirlo, #Cuba🇨🇺 cambió la historia de África Austral

En nombre de países de América Latina y el Caribe, alerté en @ONU_es sobre el resurgimiento del racismo, xenofobia y desigualdades sistémicas que afectan a migrantes, afrodescendientes y pueblos indígenas Reafirmé vigencia de Durban y la urgencia de actuar con voluntad política.

“Boxes of aid arrive in Havana, the fist of more than 20 tonnes sent by 120 organisations from 33 countries.” @FRANCE24 cover the arrival of the Nuestra América Convoy to Cuba 🇨🇺.
