Just a bit more than a month before the UN General Assembly once again speaks out against the economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba, a crime perpetuated by the United States, voices are being raised condemning this genocide.
First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba Central Committee and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, thanked his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa, for his permanent solidarity in the struggle against the blockade.
The political intolerance of an empire that has witnessed a Revolution taking place under its nose has hardened to the extent that - after 62 years of Cuba's heroic resistance - the most fallacious and absurd arguments are deployed to justify the hostility, including accusations linking Cuba to terrorism, a scourge that the island has in fact suffered at the hands of self-confessed terrorists to whom the U.S. government has provided financing, logistics and immunity.

Cuando se caiga el Bloqueo se abrirá una puerta vieja, corroída, que rechina cuando le aprietan el cerrojo. Cuando se caiga el Bloqueo un sinsonte se desprenderá de la luz que empapa los portales de las casonas viejas, una mariposa blanca abrirá sus pétalos como nunca antes, como si quisiera abrazar el nacimiento.

In Cuba in the summer of 1994, Cuba’s economic panorama was dire, following the disappearance of trade with the Soviet Union, which eliminated the source of more than 70% of the country's foreign currency income: power outages lasted more than 12 hours, a dwindling food supply turned a phrase from a popular soap opera, "Hey girl, say hello to your boyfriend," into a synonym for rice and beans, the most frequently available dish, along with other Creole inventions such as soy meat and goose paste, while access to the few cafes that sold hamburgers was organized by neighborhood Committees for
Interrupting the solemnity of the moment, like a wave gaining strength, the clamor rose and little by little the Plaza de la Revolución became a single voice chanting: I am Fidel. It was Tuesday, November 29, 2016 and the people of Havana, representing all of Cuba, had gathered there to pay tribute to our undefeated Comandante who had departed to immortality.
When Fidel Castro stood on the back of that amphibious jeep, which in the middle of the flood looked more like a floating leaf than a military vehicle, what he really thought he had before his eyes was the Amazon River itself, rushing into the Gulf of Guacanayabo.
Fidel Castro ne fut pas seulement un rénovateur permanent des méthodes de la lutte révolutionnaire, mais aussi un rêveur qui eut la chance de voir les plus belles utopies se réaliser.
