The Sam Nujoma Foundation has condemned escalating United States of America sanctions on Cuba, including intensified oil restrictions and tariffs.

This has worsened the island's humanitarian and energy crisis under the 1962 embargo.

The Sam Nujoma Foundation warned that the escalating and punitive sanctions imposed by the US on Cuba are worsening the island's humanitarian and energy crisis.

In a statement, the foundation highlighted fuel shortages causing power plant struggles, shortened workweeks, closed universities, reduced school hours, airline cancellations, and hospital delays.

This is described as a man-made crisis, further citing halted Venezuelan oil and UN warnings.

The Foundation urged peace-loving nations to denounce the measures and called for U.S. accountability and equal treatment among nations.

It called upon the international community not to remain silent amid what it termed growing economic and diplomatic pressure on Cuba.

The Namibia-Cuba Friendship Association also condemned the U.S. occupation of Guantanamo Bay, labelling it a violation of Cuba's sovereignty and a human rights abuse.

In addition, the association rejected global U.S. and NATO military bases as destabilising forces.

It demanded an end to the U.S. economic blockade on Cuba, alongside greater international solidarity to uphold Cuba's self-determination.
