HAVANA, Cuba, Apr 19 (acn) We should tell our brothers in Latin America and the world that the Cuban people will win, asserted the historic leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, in a special address at the closing ceremony of the 7th Congress of the Cuban Communist Party, in session for four days at Havana’s Convention Center.

“I congratulate you all and firstly comrade Raul Castro for his wonderful effort,” pointed out Fidel, whose presence in the plenary session aroused prolonged applause from the nearly one thousand delegates and 280 guests present.

He considered that delegates chosen by the people to whom it delegated its authority “it’s the greatest honor they have received in life; added to this is the privilege of being revolutionaries.”

Why did I become a socialist? More clearly, why did I become a Communist?, he asked, and explained how he acquired his ideology, without a private tutor to help him in the study of Marxism-Leninism, and stressed that another 70 years should not elapse for an event like the Russian revolution to occur, for humanity to have another example of a great social revolution that represented a huge step in the fight against colonialism and its inseparable companion, imperialism.

However, he warned that the greatest danger now hovering over Earth derives from the destructive power of modern weaponry, because it could undermine peace in the world and make it impossible for human life on the surface of the earth to exist.

Today, 13th August 2015, is the 90th Birth Day of the Revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, who created a new history for the Cuban people.

On his 90th birthday, the Communist leader has demanded the US government that it should refund Cuba for the loss   of millions and millions of dollars Cuba had to suffer because of the US trade embargo which was imposed about six decades back. This is a fully justified demand of the Cuban people.

In the same way, it is time for India to demand Britain for the return of the thousands and thousands of valuable books, antiques, historical artifacts, precious stones, gold etc. including the Kohinoor Diamond to be returned to India, which is the real owner. Will Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister, take courage to raise the demand in his Independence Day Speech at Red Fort on  15th August 2015?

Though 88 and resting,  Fidel Castro has a lot to say. It is correct; the Revolutionary Leader is still an inspiration for the entire world, which waits to hear him. A report about his meeting with French President Francois Hollande who called upon him at Havana, Cuba.

Havana, May 12 : French President Francois Hollande called today for an end to the US embargo on Cuba, as he met with Fidel Castro during the first visit by a Western leader since  Washington and Havana moved to restore ties.

Hollande said France will do whatever possible to see that “the measures that have so badly  harmed Cuba’s development can finally be lifted” ahead of meetings with Fidel and his younger brother Raul Castro, the duo who have ruled Cuba since its 1959 revolution.

Hollande met first with a smiling Fidel, the iconic 88-year-old father of the revolution, who he said still “had a lot to say”. Castro wore a black and white sweat suit over a checked shirt in contrast to the military fatigues that were his trademark before he yielded power to his younger brother in 2006.

Hollande called Fidel a figure of historic stature.

It was on this day, 16th February in 1959 that Fidel Castro became the Prime Minister of Socialist Cuba. After the dictator Barista was removed by the guerillas headed by Fidel Castro, Cuba was declared as a Socialist State.
The US and other imperialist countries tried several times to assassinate Fidel, but failed. An attack was planned by US against Cuba, but that also failed.
Cuba continues as a Socialist State. Cuba was alone in the Latin American / Caribbean Islands earlier. But now majority of the countries are against US imperialism and is with Cuba.
Fidel Continued as Prime Minister till 1976, when he became the President and continued till 2008 in that post. He vacated the position on health grounds and Raul Castro became the President.
Though he is 88 and is on rest, Fidel still writes and on very few occasions meet the people.
Fidel Castro has become a Revolutionary Legend in his own time.

Cuba is a small island in the Latin American / Caribbean Islands. Its population is 1.1 crore, much less than the population of Kerala.But Cuba is well known over the world. Why?
Not only because it is a Socialist Republic.This small country won freedom from its oppressors and invaders through guerilla warfare; the Cuban Revolution became successful and Republic of Cuba came in to being on 1st January 1959.
Cuba had to face attack from all sides, including from the United States, its big neighbour and the leader of imperialism. The economic Blockade against Cuba continues for decades headed by US, despite the opposition of the vast majority of the world nations.
During the last 55 years, despite all these adversities, Cuban Revolution has given its people one of the best governance, including housing, food, education etc. Cuba is world number one in health care and most of the countries in Caribbean gets free medical training in Cuba.

Cuba celebrated its 55th Anniversary of the Victory of Revolution on the 1st January 2014. It is still headed by the leaders of the 1959 revolution. Of course, Fidel Castro, the legend in his own time, has handed over the Presidentship to Raul Castro, who is also one of the revolutionaries who stormed in to Santiago along with Fidel in 1959. Che Guevara,the Eternal Revolutionary, who left his Cuban Ministership and moved to Bolivia to free the country was killed in the deep forests of Bolivia.

Cuba was alone in its fight against US imperialism at first. Now after 55 years of the Revolution, most of the Latin American / Caribbean countries are against US. This is a great achievement.The Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) is fighting against imperialist policies. A meeting of the CELAC has started on 27th January at Cuba which mourned the death of one of its great leaders, Hugo Chavez.The CELAC meeting is continuing.

The Cuban Revolution survives and advances inspiring the entire world. My Revolutionary Greetings to Cuba and its people!

” Revolution is challenging powerful dominant forces within and beyond the social and national environment…It is defending the values which are believed at the cost of any sacrifice….It is the profound conviction that there is no force on earth capable of crushing the power of the truth or ideas..” – Fidel Castro

“The Revolution continues to be the same, without commitments to absolutely anyone, only to the people.
“The Revolution has triumphed without any commitments to absolutely anyone, beyond the people, who are solely responsible for all of its victories”. – Raul Castro Ruz, President of Cuba.
