MEXICO CITY – After 47 years, the Organization of American States, at its annual General Assembly, has repealed its suspension of Cuba’s membership. The so-called ALBA countries (the Spanish acronym for the so-called Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas), which includes Cuba, Venezuela, Honduras, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Dominica, and Ecuador, were able partly to outwit – and partly to “out-blackmail” – Canada, the United States, and the Latin American democracies in getting Cuba rehabilitated.
发自墨西哥城-在时隔47年之后，美洲国家组织在其年度大会上废除了驱逐古巴的决议。而这要归功于由古巴、委内瑞拉、洪都拉斯、尼加拉瓜、玻利维亚、多米尼加和厄瓜多尔等国组成的所谓ALBA国家集团（名称取自西班牙语“玻利瓦尔美洲国家替代计划”的首字母缩写），是他们成功地使用了威逼利诱之策，促使加拿大，美国和其它拉美民主国家为古巴恢复了名誉。
