José Fufi
Santori Coll, a Puerto Rican basketball legend who died in 2018, became aware
in 1993 that in order to decolonize his country Puerto Ricans must first affirm
their own natural citizenship.
Fufi led a 3 year campaign of issuing Puerto Rican passports by simply having Puerto Ricans
renounce their United States (US) citizenship, and claiming their natural
Puerto Rican citizenship via a sworn affidavit. By 1996, 1,500 Puerto Rican passports
were issued. Click on this link to hear Fufi talk about his project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUZxaT9vTB8&t=10s
Other Puerto
Ricans decided to resist the United States Government’s (USG) illegal military
occupation of our homeland by renouncing their US imposed citizenship by
following instead United States law. Luis Rafael Marcano Leon was the 3rd
of these Puerto Ricans who did that. Click on the following link to read that news

The USG has
refused for 74 years to comply with the United Nations’ (UN) Charter that
prohibits colonialism. The USG has ignored 37 UN resolutions asking it to
immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. The USG
forced its citizenship on Puerto Rican in 1917 to try to divert our natural loyalty
to our own homeland toward the USG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otzBslJLbI0
The UN has
one more year in its 3rd international decade for the eradication of
colonialism (2011 – 2020). After deciding this year to broadcast live its
annual Puerto Rico decolonization hearing, what else could the UN do to put
pressure on the USG to comply with the will of the international community?
The UN and
its almost 200 member states should recognize Fufi’s symbolic Puerto Rico passport.
Puerto Ricans using Fufi’s passport should be allowed entrance to those
counties that recognized the USG’s abusive 120 year policy of colonialism now,
colonialism tomorrow and colonialism forever!
If you think
that this strategy might work, please write to support it to the President of the
UN Decolonization Committee, Keisha Aniya McGuire at soomroi@un.org.
It is time
for everyone of good will to act in unison, because those who abuse those who
are weaker don’t believe in LIBERTY AND IN JUSTICE FOR ALL! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1697349163904877/
But that’s
just for starter!
