Boston, October 14 (RHC)-- In the U.S., the National Network on Cuba (NNOC) began its annual meeting in Boston, Massachusetts on Friday -- under the motto “Victory in Unity.”

During this meeting, the participants are demanding that the U.S. government remove Cuba from the black list of "State sponsors of terrorism."  Over 50 U.S. organizations, which have been working in favor of the lifting of the blockade against Cuba, were convened.  The NNOC called on students, activists, workers and “all friends of Cuba to join” the event, especially those who reside in nearby cities.

"To a large extent, Cuba owes to the solidarity movement for having been able to resist the attacks of imperialism.  Cuba knows that with that solidarity it will continue to fight and will continue to resist," the late Commander Fidel Castro said.

In coordination with the Department of African Studies at the University of Massachusetts, the NNOC convened the Pan-African Forum, focussing on Cuba and Haiti.  

Another forum was held Saturday regarding the documentary "Belly of the Beast" that exposes U.S. President Joe Biden's policy against Cuba.  The award-winning Cuban journalist Liz Oliva Fernandez was present at this event.
