The SWAPO Party of Namibia has condemned United States' decision to reinstate Cuba on its list of state sponsors of terrorism labelling the move as unjustified, unlawful, and lacking any basis in international law.The ruling party’s Deputy Secretary for Information Charles Mubita in a media statement on Thursday described the decision as a step backwards in global efforts for justice and solidarity.Cuba, he said, has an impeccable record of standing in solidarity with the oppressed, exploited and downtrodden peoples of the world ever since its independence and has unconditionally assisted those who fought for freedom, self-determination and national independence, including the Republic of Namibia.Earlier, Executive Director in the Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation Ambassador Penda Naanda described the move as "disappointing," saying it contradicts the decision made by former US President Joe Biden on January 14 to remove Cuba from the list.

Namibia's SWAPO Condemns Trump's Decision to Reinstate Cuba on Terrorism List
WINDHOEK (NAMPA) - US President Donald Trump, on his first day in office, reversed Biden's decision to remove Cuba from the state sponsors of terrorism list. Through an executive order, Trump revoked Biden’s earlier memorandum and reinstated the "Cuba Restricted List," blocking US financial transactions with Cuban entities linked to the military.
The SWAPO Party of Namibia has
condemned United States' decision to reinstate Cuba on its list of state sponsors of terrorism labelling the move as unjustified, unlawful, and lacking any basis in international law.
The ruling party’s Deputy Secretary for Information Charles Mubita in a media statement on Thursday described the decision as a step backwards in global efforts for justice and solidarity.
“The Swapo Party is perturbed by the decision of President Donald Trump on behalf of the government of the United States of America to reinstate Cuba on the list of what the United States terms ‘state sponsors of terrorism’. For over 60 years, the people of Cuba have been subjected to unilateral sanctions and illegal economic blockades by the US and its allies,” Mubita said.
Cuba, he said, has an impeccable record of standing in solidarity with the oppressed, exploited and downtrodden peoples of the world ever since its independence and has unconditionally assisted those who fought for freedom, self-determination and national independence, including the
Republic of Namibia.
“We reaffirm our steadfast solidarity with the Cuban people and call on the international community, especially the United Nations, to oppose the continued economic blockade against Cuba and demand its removal from this list,” Mubita concluded.
Earlier, Executive Director in the Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation Ambassador Penda Naanda described the move as "disappointing," saying it contradicts the decision made by former US President Joe Biden on January 14 to remove Cuba from the list.
