The activist further accused Washington of sustaining hostile policies against Cuba for over six decades through economic blockades, sabotage and diplomatic isolation.
Nigerian human rights activist, Francis Nwapa, has condemned the decision of the United States Department of Justice to declare former Cuban leader Raúl Castro “wanted,” describing the move as “imperialist arrogance taken too far.”
In a statement issued on Friday, Nwapa accused the United States government of hypocrisy and decades-long aggression against Cuba, insisting that Washington has no moral authority to present itself as a defender of justice.
According to him, the action against Castro was “yet another continuation of decades-long US imperialist aggression against the sovereign nation of Cuba and an insult to the right of nations to determine their own political future free from foreign intimidation.”
“It is both hypocritical and laughable for the United States government, a state with a long history of wars, invasions, sanctions, coups, assassinations, and regime-change operations across Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, to posture as a defender of justice,” Nwapa said.
