Cuba has called on the government of the United States to stop the war in
Afghanistan, describing it as "senseless, absurd and inefficient method to
eradicate terrorism."
In a press release made available to THISDAY in Abuja, Cuban Minister of
Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba Mr. Felipe Perez Roque, at the general
debate of the 56th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations which
ended last week stated that, "The war in Afghanistan must be stopped. The
government of the United states must acknowledge that it has made a mistake -
and must halt its ineffective, unjustifiable bombing campaign.
Noting that the war seemed to have targeted children, starving, helpless
civilians and the humanitarian organisations, Roque said it will never be "justified
from the point of view of ethics and International law. Those responsible for it
will one day be judged by history."
