HAVANA TIMES, May 1 — Despite signs that some type of negotiations are taking place behind the scenes between Cuban and US officials, the State Department demonstrated on Thursday that US policy has effectively yet to change.
Once again Washington included Cuba in its list of countries that allegedly support terrorism, a lingering annual justification for its half century blockade against the island.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez reacted to the contrary, noting on Thursday in Havana at a meeting of the 118-nation Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) that on the issue of terrorism it is the US that has the unenviable record, not Cuba.
The US accuses Cuba of providing a safe haven to members of left wing groups such as Colombia’s Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC), and the Basque group ETA, while Cuba notes that the US has allowed numerous violence-prone organizations to operate in southern Florida, training to carry out terrorist actions against the island.
