Tough Times Pose Economic Challenges For Cubans
|
Nearly 50 years after revolution brought Fidel Castro to power, Cuba's infrastructure is in shambles. Agricultural production has plummeted, and many ordinary Cubans say daily life has become a struggle to survive and feed their families.
The transfer of power from Fidel to his younger brother, Raul, who was named president in February, has been seen by some on the island as an opportunity for change in one of the world's last communist regimes.

Cuba will remain socialist
|
Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro says the Caribbean Island will remain socialist amid calls by the West to ratchet up its reform process.
Fidel blasted the West on Sunday for the ongoing world financial crisis.
"We are not a developed capitalist country in crisis, whose leaders are going crazy today looking for solutions amid depression, inflation, the lack of markets and unemployment; we are and should remain socialists," the 82-year-old former president said in a published commentary, EFE news agency reported on Monday.

Chavez stops in Cuba, meets with Fidel Castro
|
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made his second whirlwind visit to Cuba in less than a week and met behind closed doors for two and a half hours with ailing former leader Fidel Castro, state media reported Sunday.
Chavez's stopover had not been previously announced, but the Communist Youth newspaper Juventud Rebelde said he landed in Havana Saturday evening and left hours later. He was greeted at the airport by 77-year-old Raul Castro, who succeeded his brother as president in February.
The newspaper published a photo of Chavez shaking hands with a serious-faced Raul Castro. There were no images of the ailing, 82-year-old Fidel, who has not been seen in public since undergoing emergency intestinal surgery in July 2006.

Fidel Castro says Raul in charge
|
Fidel Castro has said in a newspaper column that his brother Raul is fully in charge as Cuba's new president. But he said that the recent promotion of two generals to the country's governing body was his idea.
He had also been consulted about the nomination of Jose Ramon Machado Ventura as first vice president, Fidel Castro said.
