Antiguan students studying in Havana are urging Prime Minister Gaston Browne and Antigua and Barbuda’s ambassador to Cuba, George Goodwin, to intervene urgently, saying they have received no official guidance as tensions escalate in Cuba.
The students say other Caribbean embassies have begun briefing their nationals, but Antigua and Barbuda’s mission has not communicated with them, leaving them uncertain about safety arrangements or possible evacuation. Some say they are reluctant to speak publicly, fearing repercussions.
Their concerns follow new measures by the United States, where President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency over alleged threats from the Cuban government, triggering fresh sanctions effective Jan. 30. As foreign governments and companies review contingency plans, the students say they need clear direction from home authorities to ensure their safety.

Did your government think that the Cubans were gonna sit idly by and let your government dump American garbage on them and do nothing, when they’ve been so generous and supportive of your government healthcare and education systems?
Life don’t work like that. Tell your government to transfer you all to Ghana in exchange for the Ghanaians taking the Cubans place in healthcare or better yet let the Chinese government take you all in.
Comprende?
My clear guidance is to leave Cuba, and go to Canada or UK or USA for a better education and safety. You may also learn it is better to strive for democracy than authoritarian or dictatorship. It is time to leave, go back home urgently.
