Fidel Castro Ruz – Granma,
4 Apr 2016
Nobody should be under the illusion that the people of this dignified and selfless country will renounce the glory, the rights, or the spiritual wealth they have gained with the development of education, science and culture. We do not need the empire to give us anything. Our efforts will be legal and peaceful, as this is our commitment to peace and fraternity among all human beings who live on this planet.

The Importance of BRICS – The human being is a strange mixture of blind instinct, on one hand, and conscience, on the other. We are political animals, as affirmed Aristotle, who perhaps influenced humanity’s thinking more than any other ancient philosopher through his almost 200 treatises.

Fidel Castro Ruz – TRANSCEND Media Service,
30 Dec 2013
Why do they try to hide the fact that the Apartheid regime –that brought so much suffering onto Africa and arouse so much indignation in most nations throughout the world– was the fruit of European colonial powers and was turned into a nuclear power by the United States and Israel, something Cuba, who supported Portuguese colonies in Africa fighting for their independence openly condemned?

Fidel Castro Ruz – TRANSCEND Media Service,
2 Apr 2012
Almost 200 States, supposedly independent, constitute the political organization which in theory has the job of governing the destiny of the world. Approximately 25,000 nuclear weapons in the hands of allied or enemy forces ready to defend the changing order, by interest or necessity, virtually reduce to zero the rights of billions of people.

Fidel Castro Ruz – Global Research,
7 Mar 2011
n contrast with what is happening in Egypt and Tunisia, Libya occupies the first spot on the Human Development Index for Africa and it has the highest life expectancy on the continent. Education and health receive special attention from the State. The cultural level of its population is without a doubt the highest. The colossal campaign of lies, unleashed by the mass media, resulted in great confusion in world public opinion. Some time will go by before we can reconstruct what has really happened in Libya, and we can separate the true facts from the false ones that have been spread.

28 Feb 2011
An honest person will always be against any injustice committed against any nation of the world, and the worst injustice, at this moment, would be to remain silent in the face of the crime that NATO is preparing to commit against the Libyan people. The chief of that military organization is being urged to do so. This must be condemned!

El petróleo se convirtió en la principal riqueza en manos de las grandes transnacionales yankis; a través de esa fuente de energía dispusieron de un instrumento que acrecentó considerablemente su poder político en el mundo. Fue su principal arma cuando decidieron liquidar fácilmente a la Revolución Cubana tan pronto se promulgaron las primeras leyes justas y soberanas en nuestra Patria: privarla de petróleo.
