HAVANA, July 22 (Xinhua) -- Cuban revolution leader Fidel Castro disqualified on Wednesday the mediation on Honduras' crisis in Costa Rica calling it a "sweetener" maneuver from the U.S. government.
Castro said in his column "Commander's Reflections" published on Wednesday, that only the Honduran people will be able to create its own history after the June 28 coup which dethroned president Manuel Zelaya.
He insinuated the U.S.-backed mediation effort in Costa Rica was merely Washington-designed maneuvers to win time as inside Honduras people's pro-Zelaya movement grows stronger.
"The U.S. Department of State appointed Oscar Arias, president of Costa Rica, to aid the military coup in Honduras, besieged by the vigorous yet pacific pushing from the people. Never a similar event in Latin America has had an answer like this," Castro wrote.
Castro said that Arias' mediation was "promoted by the extreme right-wing of U.S ... and supported by the Department of State, (the mediation) evolved wrong due to the firm resistance of the people."
He said Arias' proposal "reduced the authority of the resolutions of the Unites Nations and the Organization of American States and it was like a letter of capitulation for Manuel Zelaya."
"Without nobody being able to tell which will be the last caprice from the Empire (U.S.), if ... in the end Zelaya returns legal or illegally, without doubt the Hondurans will give him a big welcome as a matter of victory," Castro said.
