Death Of Fidel Castro, 3 Months After Celebrating His Ninetieth Birthday!

[Arthur Little]

Hailed as a hero by some ... :anerikke: ... labelled a tyrant by others; so :olddude: ... I shall leave it to those old enough to remember [hearing of him], to decide for themselves.

Like anything in this world we live in, we tend to get our news from the tv and the papers, and then you think its all true.
But in todays world we now know that some reports can be lies ,
I am like many who have no idea about what did happen in Cuba ,

[Arthur Little]

Thousands of mourners/sightseers :cwm25: lined the streets of Havana as the motorcade carrying the small, flag===draped cedar coffin - containing the *ashes of the Communist freedom fighter - started out on its [I]slow (well ... :anerikke: ... this report is, after all, from 'The Daily Snail'!) stately, 500~mile drive to *their final resting place at a Cemetery in the island's south-eastern township of Santiago de Cuba ... where his remains will be interred alongside other (previous) national heroes tomorrow, Sunday.

No doubt he had a pretty pleasant life, once in charge. I know little about the man, but I hope the Cuban people have a better future ahead of them.
It looks like a fascinating place.
