Fidel Castro, the man personally responsible for the economic destruction of Cuba as well as being responsible for thousands of deaths and the exodus of middle-class Cubans has finally died. <\/p>\n

I’m sure Geraldo Rivera is hoping to be buried in Castro’s coffin alongside the criminal who waged war throughout Central America and Africa. Rivera probably isn’t alone in the American media. Fox News<\/a> reminds us that he outlasted 11 US Presidents.<\/p>\n

Strangely enough, our Cuban friends at Babalu Blog<\/a> are experiencing internet difficulties this morning.<\/p>\n

President Raul Castro, who took power after his elder brother Fidel was hospitalized in 2006, announced the news on national television just after midnight Friday (0500 GMT Saturday).<\/p>\n

“The commander in chief of the Cuban revolution died at 22:29 hours this evening,” Raul Castro said in a solemn voice.<\/p>\n

“In compliance with Comrade Fidel’s expressed will, his remains will be cremated early in the morning” on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The government on Saturday decreed nine days of mourning.<\/p>\n

From November 26 to December 4, “public activities and shows will cease, the national flag will fly at half-mast on public buildings and military installations,” a statement from the state executive said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
