U.S. Embassy Warns U.S. Citizens to Avoid U.S. Citizens

Just before the Nuestra América Convoy arrived in Havana, the U.S. Embassy in Havana warned U.S. citizens to avoid “anticipated pro-Cuban regime and anti-U.S. policy protests and rallies.”

The warning is farcical.

Rather than “protests and rallies,” the convoy was centered around the delivery of humanitarian aid, including thousands of tons of medicine, to counter the U.S. oil blockade.

Over 100 of those who participated in the convoy are U.S. citizens.

In other words: the U.S. imposes an oil blockade on Cuba that causes suffering and death on the island — and then warns its own citizens, as they try to deliver humanitarian aid, to stay clear of themselves.
