Small Axe Statement on Cuba
18 February 2026
The Small Axe Project joins others in the Caribbean and elsewhere in condemning the US imposed oil blockade on Cuba, significantly worsening an already acute energy crisis in the country and threatening the health and economic well-being of millions of ordinary Cubans. We condemn such strategies blatantly aimed at precipitating regime change, one more illustration of the new imperialism shaping US policy. The Small Axe Project calls on CARICOM and Caribbean peoples to speak out in the strongest terms against this and other threats to Caribbean sovereignty.
