As the US blockade continues to tighten its grip on Cuba, a nation that has long been a beacon of resistance against imperialism and a symbol of solidarity with the global south, the consequences of this policy are far-reaching and devastating. For six decades, Cuba has defied the odds, standing strong against the US economic embargo that has crippled its economy and limited its access to basic necessities. But the blockade's impact extends far beyond the island's borders, as Cuba's unwavering commitment to international cooperation and solidarity has inspired countless nations and movements around the world. With the US blockade now in its 62nd year, the very fabric of Cuba's existence is under threat, and the global community is left to wonder if this small island nation will be able to survive the crushing weight of US pressure.
The US blockade is killing not just a failing state, but six decades of a small island extending global solidarity.
