In an article issued on his blog, the sociologist and scholar urged Washington to put an end to the criminal economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed on Cuba for over 60 years, “one of the most brutal terror acts of our time.”

He recalled that the U.S. “dropped atomic bombs on two defenseless cities in Japan in August 1945, annihilating hundreds of thousands of people in a few hours. It further destroyed Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and tore apart the former Yugoslavia.”

Likewise, “it ordered assassinating Patricio Lumumba, Ernesto Guevara and dozens of popular leaders; and orchestrated the sinister Condor Plan through which thousands of Latin Americans were executed and missing.”

Despite this horror, its ruling class feels it has the authority to determine who is a terrorist, according to its peculiar interpretation of that term.

The U.S. government redoubles its aggression against the heroic Cuba and maintains the infamy of former President Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, he assured.

Boron questioned Washington for “accusing a country whose government, with Norway’s support, was the host and decisive protagonist in the construction of the peace process in Colombia and continues to be committed to that noble purpose.”
