Thousands of Cubans marched toward the US embassy in Havana on Friday, calling for an end to Washington's embargo on their country, just one month before Donald Trump's return to the White House.

Thousands of Cubans, led by former President General Raul Castro Ruz and current President Miguel Diaz-Canel, gathered in front of the US embassy in Havana.

They called for an end to the blockade imposed by Washington and for Cuba to be removed from the list of state sponsors of terrorism.

In his speech, Canel called on the United States to let the Cuban people live peacefully.

Gracias #Cuba, por superar otra vez la imaginación más fértil. Por esa gran #MarchaDelPueblo con el General de Ejército al frente. Por el grito unánime: "No somos terroristas. Sáquennos de la lista" y #TumbaElBloqueo.

Gracias por la inspiración infinita. pic.twitter.com/x62Ev5I11z

— Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez (@DiazCanelB) December 21, 2024

Diaz-Canel emphasized the need to halt US interference in Cuba's affairs, highlighting that the US embargo has deprived the Cuban people of essential food, medicine, fuel, goods, and supplies necessary for their survival.

In turn, the demonstrators held the United States responsible for the country's difficult economic conditions, attributing them to the unjust blockade that restricts foreign trade and dealings, preventing companies from investing in Cuba.

It is worth mentioning that in late October, the United Nations General Assembly passed its annual resolution urging the United States to eliminate economic, commercial, and financial restrictions on Cuba.

The resolution, titled "Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba" was supported by 187 countries. The United States and "Israel" voted against it, with Moldova abstaining.
