EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, a joyous procession makes its way across the Brooklyn Bridge, linking the United States and Cuba, as the iconic structures of Guantanamo Bay and the bridge merge in the distance. This scene serves as a poignant reminder of the complex history between these two nations. Guantanamo Bay, located on the southeastern coast of Cuba, has been under United States territorial control since 1903, following the signing of the Cuban-American Treaty. The treaty granted the United States a perpetual lease of the area, which has since been used as a naval base. Over the years, the population of Guantanamo Bay has fluctuated, with the base being used to house Cuban and Haitian refugees from the 1970s onwards. Following the commencement of the war in Afghanistan in October 2001, Guantanamo Bay became the site of the United States' detention facility for suspected terrorists. Over 775 detainees have been brought to Guantanamo from the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, with 420 of these individuals being released without charge. The legal status and physical condition of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay has been a subject of intense scrutiny and criticism from human rights bodies worldwide. Despite the controversy surrounding the base, this image captures a moment of unity and celebration, as a procession makes its way across the Brooklyn Bridge, connecting two nations separated by history and politics. The bridge, a symbol of connection between the United States and Cuba, stands as a testament to the enduring power of human spirit and the potential for understanding and cooperation between peoples.
