THE African Union (AU) reaffirmed its solidarity with Cuba yesterday, demanding an end to the illegal six-decade long US economic blockade.
African leaders gathered in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa adopted a resolution opposing the “economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba” for the 10th consecutive time.
The 55 AU member states supported the resolution adopted by the United Nations last year which condemned the blockade and received 189 votes in its favour.
