A claim for justice: break the complicit silence.
Terrorism continues to be a serious challenge for the international community. It cannot be eliminated if double standards prevail, manipulation, political opportunism, and selectivity.
There is no good terrorism and bad terrorism. Terrorist acts are crimes against humanity. It is necessary to respond to this phenomenon in accordance with norms and principles of the international law.
For almost six decades, Cuba has been the target of continuous acts of terrorism that have cost the lives of many people. The actions perpetrated, today cause pain to entire families and our population.
We do not forget a long history of painful events against our diplomats abroad, even in the United States territory.
The most recent of all the acts against Cuba was an attack, in the early morning of April 30, on the diplomatic headquarters of Cuba in the capital of the United States, carried out by a citizen named Alexander Alazo, who fired 32 shots with a semi-automatic assault rifle indiscriminately.
Cuba condemned this act since the very beginning, calling it as a "terrorist act with the intention of killing."
Such an action is possible only because of the aggressive policy of the United States Government against Cuba, and the instigation of violence by politicians and hostile anti-Cuban extremist groups settled in that country.
The government of the United States must recognize and denounce the terrorist nature of this attack against our Embassy and share with Cuba the information of all what happened. The opposite means a suspicious complicit silence and tolerance of terrorism.
This attitude contradicts the United States government's own antiterrorist rhetoric. While they include Cuba on a spurious list of countries that do not fully cooperate with the United States' counterterrorism efforts, they do not recognize the terrorist character of the attack on our Embassy. They hide their history of State Terrorism against Cuba and the impunity of violent groups in its territory.
Regardless of the well known divergences, there is concrete evidence of Cuba's bilateral collaboration with the United States in the fight against terrorism and joint efforts to enforce the law.
Today it is good to remember the behavior of the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, who in the past alerted President Ronald Reagan of an attempt on his life, or when he offered to the government of another adversary, George W. Bush, the Cuban airports when the airplanes were looking for a place to land after the attack on the Twin Towers in New York.
Cuba has repeatedly expressed its deepest rejection and condemnation of all terrorist acts, methods and practices in all their forms and manifestations, by whoever it wants, and wherever they are committed, whatever their motivations, including those cases in which there are States directly or indirectly involved.
The US knows, as well as the international community, that Cuba has a firm rejection of terrorism, and our absolute intolerance with any of its manifestations.
