Usual day at the U.N.: Chairwoman of Committee on Decolonization praises Cuban & Syrian dictatorships for their work.
This committee of brutal despots is dedicated to “decolonizing“ Gibraltar, the Falklands, U.S. Virgin Islands—against the wishes of the people who live there.

“Homeland & Life” repurposes the old slogan “Patria o Muerte”—Homeland or Death—emblazoned on walls across the Caribbean country ever since Fidel Castro’s 1959 leftist revolution & expresses frustration with being required to make sacrifices in the name of ideology for 62 years.
