**Analysis**
The text appears to be a statement from the Nicaraguan government condemning the actions of counter-revolutionary groups and the Honduran government in support of them. The text describes military actions, including an invasion, hijacking, and mortar attacks, and accuses the US government of encouraging and supporting these actions. The tone is clearly political and confrontational, suggesting that the text is more concerned with international relations and politics than with economic or social issues.
