Cuban doctors leave Brazil, offer reflections
The doctors had been been there as part of Brazil’s “More Doctors Program” (Mais Medicos), which Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff initiated in 2013 in cooperation with Cuba’s government. Cuba is now withdrawing the 8000 doctors who have been working in Brazil, doing so in reaction to threatening statements from Brazilian President-elect Jair Bolsonaro. For more specifics, see the article posted on this website entitled “Cuban Doctors to leave Brazil courtesy of Jair Bolsonaro.” English translations here are edited versions of those derived from an Internet translation source. |

Let Cuba Live is a Maine-based committee organized in 1992 to promote respect for Cuba's sovereignty and independence. Let Cuba Live works for an end to the U.S. blockade against Cuba; an end to travel restrictions that prohibit U.S. citizens from visiting Cuba; normalization of relations between the U.S. and Cuba; closure of the Guantanamo Naval Base; and freedom for the Cuban Five.

It's immoral.
“We at IFCO/Pastors for Peace continue to challenge the immorality of the US blockade, firm in the belief that love is the only license we need to normalize relations with Cuba! Now is the time to end the blockade of Cuba!!” Gail Walker, Exec. Director, Pastors for Peace IFCO/Pastors for Peace |
It's counter-productive. “I join the majority of fellow citizens of the United States and call for the U.S. Congress to respect our expressed will to remove the blockade against Cuba that impedes full, respectful, and productive diplomatic relations between the two countries and prevents free and fruitful people-to-people relations.” Danny Glover, Artist, Activist |
It’s destructive. "The vision of self-reliance projected by Fidel is clearly an idea whose time has come for people all over the Third World, a combination of decentralization and centralization which offers an alternative to the capitalist road of economic development imposed by the IMF and the multinationals, which is causing such impoverishment and immiseration in Africa and Latin America."
Grace Lee Boggs (1915-2015) |

“The thaw in US-Cuba relations may have begun but Cuba is still frozen out by an economic and financial blockade that causes untold suffering for a people fighting for the right to determine their own future.”
