Raul Castro riceve il testimone da Fidel
2008-02-25 19:31:00 Raul Castro riceve il testimone da Fidel Venti di cambiamento a Cuba ma non troppo di Gisueppe Iannozzi Dopo 49 anni e 55 giorni che Fidel Castro ha tenuto il potere in mano, il passaggio del testimone è avvenuto, e a raccoglierlo non poteva che essere Raul Castro, 76 anni, fratello più giovane del lìder maximo. Prima o poi doveva accadere: Fidel Castro, oggi ottantunenne, non ha più il fisico, non è più l’aitante giovanotto che insieme al Che Guevara buttò fuori a calci nel sedere Fulgencio Batista al soldo degli americani. Per 49 anni, Fidel Castro è stato prima Primo Ministro di Cuba (fino al 1976, quando la carica di Primo Ministro fu abolita), poi fino al 2008 Presidente del Consiglio di Stato e Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri. Adesso tocca a Raul Castro continuare il lungo lavoro portato avanti indefessamente da Fidel per 49 lunghi anni. L’Assemblea nazional...

WESTERN HEMISPHERE: Venezuelan talks to ailing Castro as oil summit opens
2007-12-25 21:13:00 Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez presided Friday at the opening of a regional petroleum summit in Cuba, pressing his efforts to counter U.S. influence in Latin America and the Caribbean by offering cheap oil.Chavez, who wants to use Venezuela's vast oil reserves to help create a "confederation of republics" free of U.S. interests, called on regional leaders to band together against the failed "dictatorship of world capitalism."Opening the Petrocaribe summit in Cienfuegos, a southern coastal city about 150 miles from Havana, Chavez said his plan should go beyond mere financing mechanisms and suggested that some countries repay the oil with social services.READ MORE...

Is Castro Dead? Babalu and the new Kill Raul Castro reporting
2007-08-25 03:26:00 Hermano blog Babalu and the now obsoletely-named Kill Castro are reporting that Fidel Castro, the world record-holding dictator of Cuba, is dead. From Kill Castro: Let's update at the first line, for a change: Apparently, there are indications in Cuba about an imminent announcement. It can be a government launched rumor, but it can be true, too. Let's see what happens from now to the end of the day! We've been getting some reports from both Havana and Oriente about a "estado de alerta" in which the "organizaciones politicas y de masas" are being put since midweek. We are under the impression, even though we haven't been able to talk to anybody who has actually seen the body, that the end of the race for El Barba Cucaracha is really close, if he didn't cross the finish line into Hell already. We advise the Cuban people to be cautious, since the regime could be doing a dry run -creating false expectations- to be able to bag people at this time. Again, we have been told th...
