Speech delivered by Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, at the closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba, at the Convention Center, on May 2, 2026, "Year of the Centennial of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz."

Cuba: May Day Speech Delivered at the Closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity! (3.5.2026)

When it is said that we are an extraordinary and unusual threat to the United States – and we are sure that this is not the feeling of the American people, that is the pretext used by the American government to attack us – one wonders: What is the threat, what is extraordinary about that threat, what is unusual about that threat, when Cuba is a country of peace, when Cuba is a country that has served as the setting for the main peace dialogues in the Latin American and Caribbean region, when Cuba was the place where the Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church came to meet to resolve the schism they had maintained for more than fifteen hundred years?

I try to answer that question every day, but, as Bruno explains, there is no pretext, there is no reason to justify military aggression against Cuba. Well, that “extraordinary and unusual threat” may be the example of resistance and creativity of the Cuban people.

When we talk about solidarity, I think we are talking about three elements that distinguish the value of international solidarity:

One is the tenderness of the peoples, because among all of us we have learned to share something that Fidel taught us, and that is that we do not give out of solidarity what we have left over, but we give what we have to share it among all.

UK Exporting Weaponry to Israel - Liege Airport - Belgium

Skwawkbox: UK Firm Refuses Questions on Arms to Israel Seized in Belgium! (1.5.2026)

US aerospace company Moog’s UK subsidiary has declined to comment on the seizure of a consignment of military components by Belgian authorities while en route to Israel. According to a statement released by the Walloonian government, the consignment did not bear a declaration that the items were for military use as required by Belgian law and did not have the compulsory ‘transit licence’.

A second UK arms consignment has now also been seized, though the manufacturer of that one has not yet been named. But the UK company involved in the first one has: Moog, specifically its Wolverhampton facility.

Currently, 15 C-17s are in the air heading towards the Middle East.

France: US Military Flights Continue to Gulf States During “Ceasefire” – Whilst Vance Answers to Netanyahu! (16.4.2026)

The United States is reinforcing itself in countries that don’t make the headlines while avoiding bases where the political reaction is the strongest. While the Pakistani Prime Minister is visiting Saudi Arabia and Qatar for mediation, flight logs are sending a discreet message about the position Washington thinks these countries should adopt.

🔸What the ceasefire really means:

A pause in strikes is not a pause in preparations. While diplomats talk about calm, the United States is moving troops, hiding the origin of the planes, and storing equipment near the action.

Some flights have no clear origin. Others disappear for days. A plane landed at RAF Mildenhall from a US Army base, then left without being tracked. Diego Garcia is sending planes to Israel. Three flights from Holloman AFB – home of the MQ-9 Reaper drones – are already on their way.

Italian Newspaper Accuses Israel of War Crimes!

Italy: L’Espresso Accuses Israel of War Crimes! (14.4.2026)

The photograph, taken by Italian photojournalist Pietro Masturzo in the village of Idhna, west of Hebron, documents Israeli settlers and occupation soldiers obstructing Palestinian farmers at the start of the olive harvest. Masturzo described armed settlers, some in military-style clothing, arrived with Israeli forces and prevented residents from accessing their land, describing the scene as part of a wider pattern long recorded across the West Bank.

Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif

Pakistan: Israel’s Ongoing Genocidal Campaigns Criticised! (10.4.2026)

Do not be seduced by these otherwise interesting Islamicist articles. Yes – Israel is committing genocide – but the nuclear-armed Pakistan has been a loyal lap-dog of the US in the past and has sponsored endless anti-Socialist movements (the Taliban originates in Pakistan and Osama Bin Laden was permitted to hide-out there). It is a thoroughly corrupt State that imprisons its leaders if they dare express any secular Socialist attitudes. In many ways, Pakistan has shifted toward Iran’s Islamicist stance whilst many supposed leftists in the West dance to their tune without thinking. Criticising Israel does not hide the fact that a regime has more in common with Israel than it does the Palestinians. The very fact Iran does not seek the release of Imran Khan speaks volumes and should alert Western leftists to the threat of militant Islamicism masquarading as left-wing politics.

UN General Assembly

UN [that Condemned Iran for Defending Itself] – Declares Trans-Atlanctic Slavery “Greatest Crime”! (26.3.2026)

The US representative, Dan Negrea, claimed that the resolution was “highly problematic in countless respects”, the UN News agency reported.

The US government stressed that it “does not recognize a legal right to reparations for historical wrongs that were not illegal under international law at the time they occurred”.

The representative of the European Union made the same argument on the floor of the UN.

The EU criticized the resolution for implying “suggestions of a retroactive application of international rules which was non-existent at the time and claims for reparations, which is incompatible with established principles of international law”.

“References to claims for reparations also lack a sound legal basis”, the EU argued, stressing that the “principle of non-retroactivity, a fundamental cornerstone of the international legal order, must be strictly upheld”.

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office said the same, in a statement explaining its decision to abstain.

The British representative argued that there is “no duty to provide reparation for historical acts that were not, at the time those acts were committed, violations of international law”.

The UK insisted “that the prohibitions on slavery, the slave trade, and what are now considered crimes against humanity had not yet been established in international law at the time of the transatlantic slave trade”.
