NEW YORK, May 27 — Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla asked the international community for urgent help to prevent disaster in his country, which is under a US energy blockade, in a speech to the UN Security Council yesterday.
“I call on the international community to mobilize to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe that could be imposed through arms or the fuel blockade,” Rodriguez said.
He added, “now should be the time for solidarity with Cuba.”
US President Donald Trump has openly mused about taking over communist Cuba, saying that after the US attack in January that ousted Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, Havana could be his next target for military action and big change.
Due in part to a US trade embargo imposed after Fidel Castro came to power in 1959, Cubans have suffered dire economic conditions for years, with shortages of food, medicine and other basics. Nationwide power blackouts are common.
Things got worse when Trump cut off the supply of oil from Havana’s ally Venezuela after the ouster of Maduro.
The Trump administration tightened the screws last week by indicting Raul Castro over the downing of two small US-based planes in 1996, fuelling fears the United States was seeking a pretext to overthrow the government in Havana.
The day after the Castro indictment was announced, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Cuba that the United States was laser-focused on changing the communist system.
Yesterday, Rodriguez called the indictment politically motivated and denied US allegations that Cuba poses a national security threat to the United States.
“It is an idea that goes against logic and common sense,” he told the council. “Let Cuba live in peace.” — AFP

Arab slave trade predates and dwarfs trans Atlantic slave trade to the Americas.
DeleteThe Arabs introduced slavery into Africa in 652 AD via the trans-Saharan and Indian Ocean routes.
It was introduced by Abdullah ibn Saad (governor of Egypt) in Nubia (Sudan).
The practice lasted until the 20th century, enslaving 10-18 million people.
At that time, approximately 7 million women and 4 million children were enslaved.
It was the world's longest and largest slave trade.

Arabs conducted Indian Ocean slave trade and it ended only in 1970, in Oman.
DeleteNah bacalah.
The Indian Ocean slave trade conducted by Arab merchants lasted twelve hundred years, moved an estimated seventeen million people from East Africa to Arabia, Persia, and India, castrated the majority of male slaves in transit, and has received less than one percent of the scholarly attention devoted to the Atlantic slave trade.
The Indian Ocean slave trade — conducted primarily by Arab, Persian, and Swahili Coast merchants from approximately the 7th century AD through the early 20th century — operated across a longer time span and involved comparable numbers of enslaved people to the Atlantic trade, yet occupies a fraction of the space in global historical consciousness, public discourse, and museum representation.
The reasons for this asymmetry are themselves historically significant — the Atlantic trade's direct connection to the economic foundations of Western Europe and North America, the survival of large descendant communities in the Americas, and the moral and political urgency of 20th-century American civil rights discourse all oriented historical attention toward the transatlantic system in ways that left the Indian Ocean trade relatively unstudied in Western scholarship until the late 20th century.
The East African coastal peoples — primarily from the regions of present-day Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Somalia, and Madagascar — were the primary source population for the Indian Ocean trade, captured through a combination of Arab-led slave raids, the operations of Swahili Coast intermediary merchants, and the inland expansion of slave-raiding networks that penetrated deep into the African continent.
The castration of male enslaved people during the trade — documented in Arab, Persian, and European sources across multiple centuries — was practiced at rates that historians including John Lovejoy and Abdul Sheriff have estimated affected the majority of enslaved African men transported to Arab markets, creating a demographic pattern in which the descendant populations in receiving societies are far smaller relative to the number of people transported than in the Americas.
The mortality rate during castration, performed without anesthesia or antiseptic technique, was estimated by contemporary observers at between 75 and 90 percent, meaning that the number of people who died in the castration process alone represented an enormous additional casualty figure beyond those who died during capture, transit, and enslavement.
The trade was formally suppressed in Oman in 1970 — within living memory of people still alive today.

Slavery was introduced in Old Malaya by the Ishmaels in the 14th century.
DeleteMalay Elites and the Sultans then LOVED the hambas, who were the non-Ishmaels. The slave servants, concubines and harems.
It was the British that forced the locals to give up this cruel practice.
