OPEN LETTER TO THE WORLD: FROM CUBA, AN ORDINARY WOMAN DENOUNCES THE CRIME THE US AND THE WORLD REFUSES TO SEE!

To all of humanity, to the mothers of the world, to Doctors Without Borders, to journalists with dignity, to the governments that still believe in justice:

My name is like millions of others. I have no famous last name or important title. I am an ordinary Cuban woman. A daughter, a sister, a patriot. And I write this with a torn soul and trembling hands, because what my people are living through today is not a "crisis." It is a slow murder—calculated, coldly executed from Washington.

And the world looks the other way.

I DENOUNCE ON BEHALF OF MY GRANDPARENTS:

I denounce that in Cuba, elderly people are dying before their time because the blockade prevents heart medication, blood pressure pills, and diabetes treatments from arriving. It is not a lack of resources. It is a deliberate prohibition. Companies that want to sell to Cuba are fined, hounded, and threatened. Their governments stay silent. Meanwhile, a Cuban grandfather clutches his chest and waits. Death doesn't give a warning. The blockade does.

I DENOUNCE ON BEHALF OF MY CHILDREN:

I denounce that there are incubators in Cuba that have had to be turned off due to lack of fuel. That there are newborns fighting for their lives while the United States government decides which countries can sell us oil and which cannot. That there are Cuban mothers who have seen their children's lives endangered because an order signed in an office in Washington is worth more than the cry of a baby 90 miles from its shores.

Where is the international community? Where are the organizations that so fiercely defend childhood? Or do Cuban children not deserve to live?

I DENOUNCE INTENTIONAL HUNGER:

I denounce that the blockade is programmed hunger. It’s not that food is missing just because. It’s that they prevent us from buying it. Ships carrying food are hunted. Bank transactions are blocked. The companies that sell us grain, chicken, and milk are sanctioned.

Hunger in Cuba is not an accident. It is a State policy of the United States government, refined over 60 years, updated by every administration, intensified by Donald Trump, and executed with malice by Marco Rubio.

They call this "economic pressure." I call it terrorism through hunger.

I DENOUNCE ON BEHALF OF MY DOCTORS:

I denounce that our doctors—the same ones who saved lives during the pandemic while the whole world collapsed—today have no syringes, no anesthesia, no X-ray equipment. Not because we don’t know how to produce them. Not because we lack talent. But because the blockade prevents us from accessing supplies, spare parts, and technology.

Our scientists created five COVID-19 vaccines. Five. Without anyone's help. Against all odds. Against the blockade and the lies. And even so, the empire punishes us for having achieved it.

TO THE WORLD, I SAY:

Cuba is not asking you for alms.
Cuba is not asking you for soldiers.
Cuba is not asking you to love us.

Cuba asks you for justice. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I ask you to stop normalizing the suffering of my people.
I ask you to call the blockade by its name: A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.
I ask you not to be fooled by the tale of "dialogue" and "democracy" while they tighten the noose around our necks.

We don't want charity. We want them to LET US LIVE.

To the complicit governments that remain silent:
History will hold you accountable.

To the media that lies:
The truth always finds the cracks.

To the executioners who sign sanctions:
The Cuban people do not forget and do not forgive.

To those who still have humanity in their hearts:
Look at Cuba. Look at what they are doing to her. And ask yourself: Which side of history do I want to be on?

From this small island, with a giant people,
An ordinary Cuban woman who refuses to surrender.
