“The total liberation and unification of Africa under an All-African Socialist Government must be the primary objective of all Black revolutionaries throughout the world. It is an objective which, when achieved, will bring about the fulfillment of the aspirations of Africans and people of African descent everywhere. It will at the same time advance the triumph of the international socialist revolution, and the onward progress towards world communism, under which, every society is ordered on the principle of –from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” — Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah

A-APRP Delegation Attends Anti-Imperialist Conference in Cuba

A-APRP Delegation Attends Anti-Imperialist Conference in Cuba

Attendees at the Anti-Imperialist Conference in Cuba.

A small delegation representing the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (A-APRP), and the All-African Women’s Revolutionary Union (A-AWRU) proudly attended the recent Anti-imperialist Solidarity Conference for Democracy and Against Neoliberalism. The event was held on November 1 – 3, 2019, in Havana Cuba in response to Cuba’s call on the “defenders of peace, solidarity, and justice to convene a broad, massive mobilization of the region and the world’s left, to support Cuba’s glorious revolution. Attracting 1332 delegates from 86 nations around the world who represented over 780 organizations, the anti-imperialist conference provided a venue to discuss the necessity of movements, organizations and groups to intensify our cooperation with one another, in the struggle against imperialism and neoliberalism.

In the closing session, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez and Army General, First Secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee Raul Castro Ruz, and the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moro all addressed the enthusiastic crowd with rousing messages of optimism, gratitude, and resolve.

Why We Support Cuba

The A-APRP, and the A-AWRU stand ready to intensify our support of the Cuban Revolution.  As African people, we can never repay the great debt to Cuba for her tremendous generosity and sacrifice for Africa. Even as Cuba struggles to survive the crushing blockade, illegally imposed against it by the United States and the capitalist world in an attempt to destroy her revolution, Cuba has continuously supported Africa and African people worldwide financially, militarily, culturally, educationally, medically, and politically.

Our Party also expresses the utmost appreciation for Cuba’s selfless sacrifice in supporting the aspirations for freedom and independence in Africa. Sending nearly 400,000 combatants to bravely fight in various missions, 2,398 lost their lives. Africa was then, and continues to be ravaged by U.S. and European sponsored wars, plundered of resources, and exploited economically in every possible way. Cuba, however, took nothing from Africa except her war dead. And in the words of First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba Raúl Castro,

Cubans went to Africa at the request of their peoples to fulfill what we considered a sacred duty. The thousands of combatants who fought in Africa were not looking for personal gain or glory, they were moved by the desire to be useful, to fulfill their duty with the Revolution, to live up to the time they lived in.”

Our party will forever appreciate Cuba’s assistance to Africa, Haiti, and other Caribbean nations through providing doctors, educators, as well as providing free educational opportunities to tens of thousands of African students worldwide.

We Resolve

For friendship, support, and loyalty, we are eternally grateful to Cuba. We rededicate our energies toward fulfilling the imperative of overthrowing imperialism. We stand ready to assist Cuba through the strategy laid out by Cuba and the delegates of the anti-imperialist conference through the resolutions formally adopted at the conference.

Final Declarations of the Anti-Imperialist Conference

The Government of the United States continues its hostility against Cuba, with increased aggressiveness in recent months. The tightening of the blockade, its marked extraterritorial nature, application of the Helms-Burton Act and other mechanisms and additional sanctions constitute the principal obstacle for the socio-economic development of the Cuban nation, an attack on its sovereignty and flagrant violation of the principles of International Law.

We, the peoples of the world, need the example of Cuba and therefore, we have the commitment to defend it from the attacks of Yankee Imperialism and to support it in the fulfillment of its noble aspirations to build a prosperous and sustainable nation, with the slogan of José Marti which says: Whoever rises up today with Cuba, rises up for all times!

Inspired by the legacy of Fidel Castro, and throughout over 150 years of struggle, resistance and victory of this heroic nation; proud of the steadfastness and iron-clad unity of the Cuban people before the obsessive economic war, aggressive escalation and hostile policy of Yankee Imperialism, the 1332 delegates of 86 nations, meeting on the 1 to 3 of November of 2019 support the following agreements.

We Agree

  1. To demand lifting the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed on Cuba by the government of the United States and we condemn the implementation of the Helms-Burton Act, violator of the principles and basic norms of International Law, which persists in its aim to destroy the Cuban Revolution.
  2. To support and back the Resolution “Need to end the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”, which will be presented at the United Nations General Assembly on the 6th and 7th of November, 2019.
  3. To demand returning to the Cuban people the territory illegally occupied by the Guantánamo Naval Base, usurped over one hundred years ago by the US government, in violation of Cuban sovereignty.
  4. To reject the growing aggression of the government of the United States and its allies against the medical collaboration programs, one of the noblest expressions of the spirit of solidarity and internationalism of the Cuban Revolution.
  5. To demand cessation of the subversive and destabilizing programs against Cuba and for Cuba’s right to self-determination and independence be respected.
  6. To spread the truth about Cuba, countering the media campaigns funded by the American administration with millions of dollars from its federal budget, and which systematically slander, distort and lie about what is happening in the country and hide the achievements of the Revolution.
  7. To ratify that Cuba is a safe, peaceful and healthy country for Cubans, foreigners, accredited diplomats and for the millions of persons who visit every year, including American citizens.
  8. To support the Cuban Revolution which is based on the principles of solidarity, social justice, internationalism and indivisible unity, and which constitutes a reference point for our peoples.
  9. To strengthen the bases of the Solidarity with Cuba Movement through greater coordination of social and people’s movements and the forces of the Left, in order to promote the actions of solidarity before the imperialist and interventionist policy of the government of the United States and its allies.
  10. To develop the greatest and most urgent mobilization possible by carrying out public and media actions, on a permanent, systematic and intensive basis, condemning the escalating aggression of Yankee Imperialism against the Cuban people.

We thank Cuba for its hospitality and its solidarity with all the peoples of the world. We support all its efforts for the unity and integration of our nations, for which our forefathers fought so hard.

We recognize that, despite the limitations brought Cuba by the economic barrier policy, its Socialist Revolution has achieved that its people enjoy the rights and freedoms fundamental for the full development of all Cubans, without resorting to neoliberal formulae.  Moreover, its constant internationalist practice has contributed to the development of human rights in many countries in the world.

At this decisive moment for the struggle against the imperialism of the US and its allies, and for democracy, justice and peace, we join our actions to the legacy of Fidel:

Let us sow faith and we will be sowing freedoms; let us sow hope and we will be sowing freedoms; let us sow solidarity and we will be sowing freedoms”.

Yankee Imperialism!  Hands off Cuba!

Long live the friendship among our peoples!

Long live the heroic Cuban Revolution!
