U.S. Muslim leader Farrakhan warns of U.S. gov’t. threat
From Radio Cadena Agramonte
HAVANA – Leader of the US African American Movement Nation of Islam, Minister Louis Farrakhan, warned Cuban students of the danger posed by the US government, which wants to change their minds to avoid the continuity of the revolutionary process. They try to get closer to you and whisper in your ear, urging you to stop thinking of your country and they offer money for that and invite you to leave for Florida, said Farrakhan in a master lecture given to students, professors and researchers of the University of Havana. “The oppressors never love the revolutionaries, they only want those who become enemies of the revolutions,” he said.
Farrakhan expressed satisfaction for seeing so many white, black and mixed race students together in the university, a dream that would be impossible if the policy that Washington envisages for the Island is implemented.
The religious leader said that the Empire is confident that young people succumb into banalities, and then it is easy to buy them so that they stage internal revolts.
Farrakhan said that though Cuba has been suffering an unjust economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States since the 60s, they have not been able to destroy the process; on the contrary, they turned this island into a creative country.
“We know that the people is facing difficulties to acquire food because of this policy; and the government pays great attention to this problem, and the people looks wonderful,” he said.
You must promote the revolution, which is based from the start on social equity, and the suffering caused by the US government will become a boomerang that will secure the success of your ideas, which have already spread to Latin America and the Caribbean, he said.
I love the Cuban Revolution and deeply admire Fidel Castro, so I consider important to make this so positive process advance.
You, who suffer the pain of the economic blockade and ask yourself a lot of questions, must know above all that your parents are leaving you a great treasure, that is the tree of the Revolution, said Farrakhan, who expressed his willingness to contribute to the struggle for the release and return home of the five anti-terrorist Cuban fighters unfairly held in US prisons since 1998, Fernando Gonzalez, Ramon Labanino, Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernandez and Rene Gonzxalez.
These men are serving harsh prison sentences for informing Cuba and the United States about plans of violent actions against Cuba by Miami-baeed terrorist groups.
