Russia Backs Ortega, Welcomes Two of His Sons

Vladimir Putin’s Government defies the international community that demands the Ortega regime stop its’ blatant human rights abuses.

On July 18, the Cuban Conference of Religious Leaders announced a service to accompany relatives of those jailed after the July 11 protests.

Cubans Dayme Arocena and Pavel Urkiza have just released a song dedicated to the protests that took place throughout Cuba on July 11th.

“The Cuban government shouldn’t be responding to this desperate complaint with its usual slogans, repeated year in and year out.”

The hours prior to the commemoration of the 42nd anniversary of the Sandinista revolution were like preparations for an act of nostalgia.

Rafael Rojas believes the unprecedented demonstrations in Cuba are the result of accumulated economic & social discontent in the country.

Independent of the debatable causes, among them gov. mismanagement & the US embargo, Cuba is currently facing a growing humanitarian crisis.

I’d like to share with you what I experienced in recent days. When I saw the town of San Antonio de los Baños stand up to authoritarianism.

If Ortega does not allow free elections, the international community needs to impose rigorous sanctions on his government.

The tension in the air here can be cut with a knife. Everywhere there are police, military & civilian gov. supporters with improvised clubs.
