Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla discussed the April 30 attack on the country’s embassy in Washington with the press
By Raúl Antonio Capote
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, during a May 12 online press conference, to discuss the April 30 terrorist attack on the Cuban embassy in the United States, stated: “Here is an attacker, an AK-47 rifle, 32 shell casings, 32 bullet holes and a statement – by the perpetrator – of his intention to attack and kill.”
From the U.S. government we have received only silence, a silence that we know well, one that has accompanied violence against Cuba by groups based in U.S. territory for years. Every wave of terror was preceded by rabid campaigns of hate, rancor, threats, and attempts to discredit Cuba’s work in the international arena, alongside tightening of the economic siege.

Cuba saves lives!
By Cheryl LaBash
Shots were fired at the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C., in the early hours of April 30. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parilla reported by tweet this morning that “mission staff was not injured and is safe. Investigation is in progress.” Rodríguez Parilla emphasized, “It is the responsibility of States to protect diplomats accredited to them and their facilities.”
This attack comes just the morning after U.S. Vice President Mike Pompeo and other administration officials made public statements vilifying Cuba’s humanitarian international medical missions.
Behind the scenes, U.S. diplomatic arm twisting has failed to block requests for Cuban medical assistance. In frustration, Pompeo singled out Qatar, and South Africa welcoming its second brigade.

On February 11, four American peace activists, known as the Embassy Protection Collective, will be tried before the U.S. empire for “interfering with certain protective functions” of its Federal government for their occupation of the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, D.C. to prevent it from being handed over to coup leaders sponsored by the Trump administration. Their occupation ended on May 16, 2019, when federal agents broke into the sealed embassy, against international law, and arrested them in a swat style raid.
The government’s accusation against the Embassy Protection Collective is merely a pretext used for their arrest and prosecution, since they haven’t broken any laws. Matter of fact, their true crime in the minds of the Trump administration is just the opposite – it’s their defense of international law, and Venezuela’s sovereign right to self-determination against Yankee imperialism.
Solly Mapaila, South African Communist Party First Deputy General Secretary: “We oppose US imperialism! We oppose US aggression! The entire democratic movement will be organizing mass actions across South Africa until USA withdraws its forces from the Middle East.”
