Massive protest held in Cuba to condemn US military aggression on Venezuela
Tens of thousands of people gathered on Saturday in Havana, the capital of Cuba, to denounce the US military aggression against Venezuela and voice support for their Latin American brother in defending its sovereignty.
Cuba responded strongly and promptly after the United States launched large-scale strikes on Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, in the early hours of Saturday and took its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, along with his wife, out of the country.
In a social media post, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel condemned what he described as the "criminal attack," demanding an urgent response from the international community.
Just a few hours after the strikes, tens of thousands of protesters held a massive rally at the Anti-Imperialist Platform in front of the US Embassy in Cuba, expressing strong condemnation of the US President Donald Trump's administration for the blatant use of force.
Miguel Diaz-Canel and other senior officials also attended the demonstration. In his speech to the gathering, the president described the US action as "state terrorism," and urged the immediate release of Maduro and his wife.
He pointed out that the true intention of the United States is to seize Venezuela's oil, land and natural resources
Cuba and Venezuela have long maintained close relations, and the two sides have frequent interactions across political, social and other fields. Saturday's attack has sparked strong indignation among the Cuban people.
