Havana, Aug 10 (Prensa Latina) The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment of Cuba reported today that 84 buses donated by the Japanese government are on their way to the Caribbean nation.

According to the deputy head of that Ministry, Déborah Rivas, in her official Twitter account, the shipment will be delivered within the framework of the Non-Refundable Financial Aid program of the Asian country and must arrive between the months of September and October.

The donation, announced last May, will strengthen the public transport system in Havana, the province with the highest population in the island territory.

Havana and Tokyo have maintained diplomatic relations since December 1929 and are currently promoting commercial, scientific-technical, cultural, academic and sports exchanges.

1. Additional information from May

Starting in July of this year, Havana will be able to release the buses manufactured in Colombia, the government of Japan, decided to donate to Cuba.

The details of the donation were announced by the Economic-Commercial Counselor of the Cuban representation in Japan, Katia Monzón, and Takuma Momoi, an official of JICS (Japan International Cooperation System), who reviewed the execution of the donations corresponding to tranches 3 and 4 of the Non-Refundable Financial Aid from the Japanese government to Cuba.

2. That's so cool! For years, Cubans have had to improvise, due to the embargo.

Here is what they were using, by making them with the materials available:



They call them "camellos," or "camels."

This could be considered a serious upgrade!

Thank you for the new look. 🚌

3. Just saw this. It exposes the stupidity

and shame of the existing embargoes.

4. Absolutely right. Propagandists always inform the uninformed that it's proof socialism doesn't work.

They point to Cuba as a prime example of how and why socialism is deeply wrong for people, and NEVER acknowledge that any leftist leader is going to get hell on earth from the US until he has been destroyed, usually. The people of Cuba are unusually resiliant, and for decades there were enough Cubans who clearly remembered the US-favored bloody, torture-loving, death squad patron, Fulgencio Batista, for whom death squads like "Masferrer's Tigers" haunted the streets, snatching suspected leftists up and hauling them off to be tortured, sometimes cut into pieces and hung from trees, as in Santiago de Cuba.

When the Cuban people rose up against Batista, THAT really offended Washington, D.C. Washington never forgave them, only accepted the racist elites who flew here to avoid having to live in Cuba, expecting the US to grab the island back and return them to their lives of luxury in the midst of so much poverty and widepspread suffering.

Weird, isn't it?

5. And Washington was only too happy to

use those racist elites in Miami as pawns. Today those pawns and their descents have allegedly become so powerful they literally dictate US Cuban foreign policy. All in the interest of a personal ambition that disregards the plight of the innocent Cuban children.

6. So good to see your comments. Their influence on US policy re. all Latin America is unforgivable.

Marco Rubio, f'r instance. Their power is deeply disproportionate, has been from the first.





Jorge Mas Canosa, Miami's former mega-leader,
founder of the C.A.N.F., Cuban-American Nat'l
Foundation.



Jorge Mas Canosa and George H. W. Bush



Canosa and Bill Clinton

Jorge Mas Canosa expected to be Cuba's next President the moment the U.S. would invade Cuba, and turn it all over to the "exiles."

He appeared to control Cuban exiles behavior in Miami, etc. His Cuban American National Foundation actually sponsored "exile" terrorists like Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch, mentioned yesterday in this forum by someone else.

It doesn't look as if their power has been diminished at all by time, as US politicians running for national office ALWAYS make a pilgrimage to Miami to suck up to them.
