On Thursday residents in Havana and members of the Cuban community in Miami reacted to the news that the United States government was behind the once-popular social media network ZunZuneo.

An investigative report by The Associated Press found that the U.S. government was behind the creation of the "Cuban Twitter" designed to undermine the communist government in Cuba.

The social media network was built with secret shell companies and financed through foreign bank transactions.

In Cuba, local resident Claudia Garcia said she was not surprised that the U.S. was behind it.

"These are political things that I don't have any knowledge of, but for nobody in the world is it a hidden thing that they have always been trying to harm our country and government. It can't be a surprise for us anymore. Coming from them, nothing can be a surprise," she said.

The social network lasted for more than two years and drew tens of thousands of subscribers.

It gained an audience by offering users a social media platform that would first build a Cuban audience then later push them toward dissent.

On Thursday Cubavision ran a story with the findings of The Associated Press investigation.

The AP obtained more than 1,000 pages of documents from contractors about the development of ZunZuneo.

It independently verified the project's scope and details in the documents through publicly available databases, government sources and interviews with those involved in ZunZuneo.

AP's investigation showed the organisation behind this was the US Agency for International Development (USAID), a federal agency best known for overseeing billions of dollars in US humanitarian aid, which also has a mandate to spread democracy.

It is unclear whether the scheme was legal under U.S. law, which requires written authorisation of covert action by the president and congressional notification.

Officials at USAID would not say who had approved the programme or whether the White House was aware of it. The Cuban government declined a request for comment.

At minimum, details uncovered by the AP appear to muddy the U.S. Agency for International Development's longstanding claims that it does not conduct covert actions, and could undermine the agency's mission to deliver aid to the world's poor and vulnerable - an effort that requires the trust and cooperation of foreign governments.

The programme came to life after a USAID contractor obtained half-a-million cell phone numbers on the state-owned mobile network - Cubacel.

The contractor, Creative Associates International, based in Washington DC, was paid by USAID to hatch a plan to send text messages to Cuban cell phone owners.

Initially they sent messages about topics like the weather, soccer and music, to build an audience and so as not to alert the Cuban government.

Later they planned to push messages which they hoped would encourage dissent.

Cuban dissidents, along with their relatives and supporters, said on Friday that the island's government had this week freed at least 38 people on a US list of imprisoned opposition members.

US officials said after weeks of virtual silence that those released were on the list of 53.

Ben Rhodes, the deputy US national security adviser who negotiated the releases as part of a broader detente with Cuba, said on Twitter: "The United States welcomes the substantial and ongoing releases of prisoners in Cuba - so good to see people reunited with their families."

One of the dissidents released was Miguel Alberto Ulloa, who spoke to The Associated Press on Friday.

"For many years President (Raul) Castro has kept it (Cuba) practically out of touch from the rest of the world," he said.

"One of the things (US President Barack) Obama said is that something could occur (referring to improved diplomatic relations between Cuba and the US) but only as long as there is democracy and freedom of expression, something that still doesn't exist in Cuba," he added.

A Miami-based Cuba-American group has said three other dissidents on the list were freed last month, for a total of 41 to be let go.

Wilberto Parada, another of the dissidents released this week, said: "I do what I do for my own moral beliefs, I am not an agent of the United States. I am a free man, I have my own thoughts, I am in Cuba and I am a Cuban."

US Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday met representatives on both sides of Colombian peace talks in the Cuban capital.

Photos released by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) show Kerry with guerrilla leaders — including the top commander, Rodrigo Londono, who goes by the name "Timochenko".

The FARC said in an open letter that it asked for Washington to consider it "a trustworthy partner in the building of a continental peace" and recognise it as a political organization.

The FARC is designated as an extremist group by Washington.

Humberto de la Calle, the chief negotiator for the Colombian government, said the encounter with Kerry was "very productive".

The US-backed Colombian government and the FARC have been holding peace talks on the communist island since 2012.

Negotiators from the FARC and Colombia's government have also been invited to watch with US President Barack Obama and Cuba's Raul Castro an exhibition baseball game between the Tampa Bay Rays and Cuba's national team.

The Reverend Jesse Jackson said on Sunday that he intends to press on with a bid to mediate the retrieval of a former US soldier captured by Colombian rebels three months ago, despite the cool response to his plan from that country's president.

Jackson said he still plans to travel to Colombia in the coming days in hopes of negotiating a cease-fire for a patch of jungle where US citizen Kevin Scott Sutay can be picked up safely.

The guerrilla army known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, has repeatedly called for a halt to hostilities during peace talks being carried out in Havana since November, but Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has refused.

Jackson said a lengthy pause in the fighting is not necessary for his mission.

Jackson announced on Saturday that he had accepted a FARC invitation to intervene in the case of Sutay, who was detained by the rebels while hiking through the jungle in June.

According to the FARC, Sutay was wearing military fatigues and carrying surveillance equipment.

Jackson said the guerrillas told him that Sutay is "free to leave," but the logistics of that happening safely have to be worked out.

"We need the ceasefire zone and the capacity to retrieve him," Jackson told reporters after meeting with FARC leadership in Havana's Hotel Nacional on Sunday.

Following the announcement on Saturday, Santos said on Twitter that "only the Red Cross will be authorised to facilitate the handover of the North American kidnapped by the FARC. We will not allow a media spectacle."

Santos has repeatedly said he would not send public figures to retrieve Sutay, insisting it be done discreetly by the International Red Cross.

The Red Cross in Colombia sought to stay out of the fray.

Jackson expressed the hope the talks in Cuba will yield a peace agreement and said he remains optimistic a deal can be negotiated on Sutay.

He said on Sunday that he felt Santos had been "full of goodwill" following meetings between the two about Sutay in Colombia two weeks ago, and said he felt the Colombian president really did want to resolve the issue.

Cuba announced on Thursday it's expanding Internet access by adding Wi-Fi capacity to dozens of state-run Internet centres and more than halving the cost that users pay for an hour online.

The announcement is the first significant expansion of the internet on the island since the United States and Cuba agreed to re-establish diplomatic relations in December.

Thirty-five government computer centres around the country will have Wi-Fi starting next month, and the price of one hour online would drop to 2 US dollars from 4.50 US dollars now, the Communist government said.

That price remains unaffordable for most Cubans but the change would represent a significant improvement in access for many people.

Home Internet remains illegal for most of the Cuban population and online access at offices with Internet is highly limited and controlled.

Colombia's government and the rebel Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia say they have agreed on the return of a handful of children living in the group's camps to civilian life.

Negotiators working on a peace deal in Havana said Sunday evening that they had agreed to move children younger than 15 out of the FARC's camps.

The head of the rebels' negotiating team told Colombian media last year that there were 13 children younger than 15 living among FARC fighters.

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos praised the agreement on his Twitter account, calling it "historic."

The two sides have been negotiating a peace accord since 2012 that would end their more-than 50 year war.

They missed a deadline for a final deal two months ago and have yet to reach agreement on a cease-fire and the disarming and demobilizing of rebels into temporary protected zones.

HAVANA GETS READY FOR CONCERT

Colombian rocker Juanes took to the stage on Saturday to rehearse for his upcoming "Peace Without Frontiers" concert to be held on Sunday in Havana's historic Revolution Square.

Although the sound check was not open to the public, neighbours from the general area heard the music and gathered in the square.

Juanes and Bose are in town for the second instalment of Juanes' "Peace Without Borders" series, that will take place on Sunday, and should draw hundreds of thousands to the iconic concrete park featuring a giant overhead likeness of revolutionary icon Ernesto "Che" Guevara and the heavily guarded offices of Fidel and Raul Castro.

That could make it the biggest visit by an outsider to Cuba since Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass at the plaza during an historic Havana trip in 1998.

Juanes has promised the afternoon concert will be about music, not politics, but such sentiments are nearly impossible when it comes to Cuba.

During a news conference held at the Hotel Nacional on Friday night, Juanes talked about some of the difficulties encountered during the past few months after he announced the concert would be taking place in Cuba.

"It has been a not so easy road with many setbacks. I think we have all got over our fears and we have arrived here today," said Juanes.

Many Cuban-Americans in South Florida are up-in-arms, saying that simply by showing up, Juanes has endorsed Cuba's closed communist system.

The Colombian mega-star has received death threats on his Twitter page, and police in Key Biscayne, Florida, say they were keeping watch over the homes of both the rocker and his manager, Fernan Martinez Maecha.

Some have called for a boycott of Juanes' music and a small, little-known anti-Castro group known as Vigilia Mambisa has announced a CD-smashing protest to coincide with Sunday's performance.

Miguel Bose expressed his opinion about some of the intolerances experienced by those who will perform in Sunday's concert.

"People can express themselves however they want. There have been situations ahead of this concert that I think couldn't be worse than reprisals, opinions that shouldn't be given. All of us here are very inoculated by now," said Bose.

What anger exists across the Florida Straits comes despite the fact that leading Cuban dissidents on the island have voiced support for the spectacle.

This month, 24 of the 75 Cuban opposition activists arrested in a 2003 government crackdown on political dissent signed a letter saying the show should go on.

And despite the non-political aims of the organisers, some Cuban officials have used the event to take a swipe at US policy on Cuba, particularly its 47-year embargo, which Cuba refers to as a blockade.

The concert "is a reflection that international public opinion is in favour of a change in the relationship between the US and Cuba," Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said on Wednesday.

"It is a statement for peace. The blockade is an act of war."

In addition to Juanes, the concert will feature Cuban folk legend Silvio Rodriguez and salsa stars Los Van Van.

Meanwhile in Miami where he has been allowed to travel, Cuban dissident punk rocker Gorki Aguila spoke about Juanes concert saying that the Colombian singer probably had good intentions but that he wasn't speaking clearly enough about the island's situation under the Castros' regime.

Gorky is in the US for 15 days to promote his new CD, but he's not sure if he'll be able to return home because of his sharp criticism of the Cuban government.

The lead singer of "Porno para Ricardo," or Porn for Ricardo, has a small but dedicated following on the island but is better known outside the country for his sexually explicit and irreverent criticism of Fidel Castro and his brother, Cuban President Raul Castro.

One of the group's albums features the traditional communist hammer and sickle symbol, with a phallus replacing the hammer.

On Friday, Aguila dressed in jeans and a self-designed red T-shirt emblazoned with the phrase: "59: The year of the Error," a nod to the 1959 Cuban Revolution.
