Namibia Condemns 66-Year US Embargo on Cuba as 'Silent Genocide': PM

The US blockade of Cuba is an inhuman "siege" designed to force the island into submission, Namibian Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare said at the Inaugural Fidel Castro International Colloquium in Havana, marking the former Cuban leader's birth.

According to the UN, the embargo has severely crippled Cuba's food, water, and healthcare systems, leading to school closures, disrupted transport, and uncollected waste.

"Our brothers and sisters in Cuba are deliberately being choked to death," Ngurare noted.

The prime minister urged the international community to compel the US to lift the sanctions and end "collective punishment," reaffirming Namibia's unwavering solidarity with Cuba.
