Arequipa, Peru – The Cuban regime offers protection to several fugitive criminals in the region, a fact that justifies the inclusion of the island in the list of countries that do not cooperate with the United States in the fight against terrorism.
It is estimated that dozens of fugitives have been welcomed by Castroism on the island. It is, in most cases, people who have been accused of crimes of kidnapping, murder, and other drug -related offenses.
In this regard, in August 2022 the now United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and Senator Bob Menéndez presented to the Senate of that country a law that requires the Cuban regime to extradate terrorists and fugitive.
Under the name of JUSTICE LAW FOR THE POLICIES WERNER FERERSTER AND FRANK CONNORthe bipartisan initiative established as an official policy of the United States the immediate extradition requirement of all the fugitives of justice found in Cuba.
The objective of the law is to judge the around 70 fugitives of American justice that remain on the Caribbean island under the protection of the Castro regime, a list in which criminals already convicted appear, such as Joanne Chesimard (Alias Assata Shakur) and William Morales, whose crimes caused the death of the aforementioned police of the New Jersey state.
Chesimard is included in the list of the terrorists most wanted by the FBI for killing a state agent in New Jersey in 1973. Together with her, Castroism refuge to other members of the black panthers accused of the kidnapping of airplanes and murders.
For his part, William “Guillermo” Morales, is one of those responsible for the tragic bombardment of the French Taberna, in New York, which this weekend arrived at its 50th anniversary.
The explosion of the French Tavern is considered one of the most violent terrorist acts in the history of the city and was part of a series of extremist attacks that impacted the country during the 70s.
The tragedy occurred on January 24, 1975, when members of the FALN, a Puerto Rican nationalist group, placed a bomb in the tavern, leaving about four dead and about 40 injured.
From everywhere: a wide history
In recent years, the island also housed several leaders of the Colombian insurgent group National Liberation Army (ELN), who remained in Havana after the attempt of 2019 in Bogotá.
The history of the regime is long supporting terrorist groups. Havana, in 1966, welcomed the Tricontinental Conference, a conclave that advocated the armed struggle and creation in the Third World of the “Two, three, many Vietnam” of which Che Guevara spoke before he died in his failed guerrilla adventure from Bolivia.
In the 60s and 70s, the Latin American guerrilla groups followed the instructions they received from Havana, specifically from the América Department, an agency of Cuban intelligence directed by Commander Manuel Piñeiro (Barbarroja), in charge of subversion in the continent.
It is not a secret that Tupamaros, Montoneros, Sandinistas, members of the Farabundo Martí Front, the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the aforementioned Eln and other guerrilla groups came to Cuba to discuss strategies, receive military training and medical care.
In 1979, in Nicaragua, Cuban military, in addition to Argentine and Chilean guerrillas who were trained in Cuba, participated, together with the Sandinista front, in the offensive that overthrew the dictatorship of Somoza.
Cuban support for violent subversion in Latin America remained well in the 80s. The electoral route and then undermine democratic institutions and establish the so -called “21st century socialism.”
In contrast, right now, the Cuban regime considers the decision of the US government to include again to include Cuba in the list of sponsoring countries of terrorism.
In Cuba, they warmly welcomed members of the Vietnamese National Liberation Front, the Palestine Liberation Organization, the South African Anc, the PAIGC of Guinea and Cabo Verde, the South West Africa´s People Organization (Swapo) Namibia, Frelimo, the Polisario Front, Zimbabwe’s Zanu, etc.
And several dozens of members of the Basque separatist organization ETA were also welcomed, who in his terrorist war against the Spanish State committed atrocious attacks in which many civilians died or were injured.
