ICuba ayizukwenza nayiphi na imvume yezopolitiko okanye yomgaqo-nkqubo wokuphucula ubudlelwane ne-US - nokuba incinci kangakanani na, uMphathiswa Wezangaphandle uBruno Rodriguez uthe ngoLwesithathu, ebetha iziphakamiso zeWashington zokuba ezinye iinguqu zingakhokelela kubudlelwane obungcono.
Uxelele inkomfa yeendaba ukuba i-United States kufuneka inyuse i-embargo yayo ye-47 yeminyaka ubudala ngaphandle kokulinda nantoni na.
U-Rodriguez uthe izohlwayo zorhwebo zase-US ziye zaxabisa isiqithi i-96 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kumonakalo wezoqoqosho ukususela ekubeni bathatha uhlobo lwabo lwangoku ngoFebruwari 1962 njengenxalenye yoRhwebo kunye noMthetho weNtshaba.
"Umgaqo-nkqubo ucalanye kwaye kufuneka uphakanyiswe ngokuzimeleyo," utshilo uRodriguez.
Ubize uMongameli u-Obama "uneenjongo ezintle kwaye ukrelekrele" kwaye wathi ulawulo lwakhe lwamkele "imeko yangoku, enganeno" malunga nesiqithi.
Kodwa uRodriguez usikhabile isigqibo sika-Epreli seWhite House sokususa izithintelo kubantu baseCuba-baseMelika abafuna ukutyelela okanye ukuthumela imali kwizizalwane zeli lizwe, esithi olo tshintsho aluqinisekisi uthintelo olubekwe nguMongameli George W. Bush.
“U-Obama wayengumongameli onyulwe kwiqonga leenguqu. Luphi utshintsho kuthintelo lwaseCuba?” U-Rodriguez wabuza. Amagosa aseCuba angamashumi eminyaka achaza izohlwayo zorhwebo zaseMelika njengebhloko.
U-Obama ucebise ukuba ingalixesha elitsha kubudlelwane neCuba, kodwa ukwathe akazukucinga ngokususa isithintelo. NgoMvulo, watyikitya umlinganiselo wokwandisa ngokusesikweni umgaqo-nkqubo unyaka omnye.
Amagosa ase-US athethe kangangeenyanga ukuba angathanda ukubona iqela elinye, ilizwe lamakomanisi lamkele utshintsho lwezopolitiko, lwezoqoqosho okanye lwezentlalo ngaphambi kokuba benze utshintsho olungakumbi kumgaqo-nkqubo waseCuba, kodwa uRodriguez wathi akuphelelanga kwilizwe lakhe ukukholisa iWashington.
Umphathiswa wezangaphandle wenqaba ukuphawula malunga neziphakamiso zeNew Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson ukuba iCuba ithathe amanyathelo amancinci ukuphucula ubudlelwane kunye ne-US.
Irhuluneli, owayesakuba ngunozakuzaku wase-US kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo, ucebise kutyelelo lwakutsha nje apha ukuba iCuba inciphise izithintelo kunye nemirhumo yabemi besiqithi abafuna ukuya phesheya kwaye bamkele isindululo sase-US sokuvumela oonozakuzaku abavela kumazwe omabini ukuba bahambe ngokukhululekileyo kumhlaba womnye nomnye.
U-Rodriguez uthathe isikhundla emva kokugungqiswa kwenyanga kaMatshi okwasusa uninzi lweenkokeli eziselula zaseCuba, kuquka noMphathiswa wezangaPhandle kunye nowayesakuba ngumkhuseli kaFidel Castro uFelipe Perez Roque.
Amagosa avela e-US naseCuba aceba ukudibana ngoLwesine eHavana ukuze axoxe ngokuvuselela inkonzo yeposi ngokuthe ngqo phakathi kwamazwe abo, kodwa uRodriguez wenqaba ukuphawula. Imeyile phakathi kwe-US kunye nesiqithi kuye kwafuneka idlule kumazwe esithathu ukusukela ngo-Agasti ka-1963.
"Ezi ntetho ziingxoxo zokuhlola ubuchwephesha," utshilo uGloria Berbena, isithethi seCandelo loMdla wase-US, eligcinwe yiWashington eCuba endaweni ye-ambassy.
"Bayayixhasa imizamo yethu yokuqhubela phambili unxibelelwano nabantu baseCuba kwaye abaphathi bayibona le nto njengendlela yokuphucula unxibelelwano phakathi kwabantu bamazwe ethu," uxelele I-Associated Press.
U-Rodriguez uthe i-embargo ngokwayo ivala unxibelelwano olunjalo, kunye nokuxabisa i-Cuba i-1.2 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngonyaka kwingeniso yokhenketho elahlekileyo.
“Ekuphela kwelizwe emhlabeni apho bathintela ukuhamba kwabantu baseMelika ukuya eCuba,” utshilo. "Ngoba? Ngaba boyika ukuba banokufunda ngokwabo malunga nenyani yaseCuba? ”
