| Commandante Fidel Castro |
By Duke Tagoe
Commandante
Fidel Castro, Leader of the Cuban revolution will clock 90 years next Saturday,
August 13.
Even
though he has retired as President of the Island state, he is still seen around
the world as the main inspiration behind the revolutionary prospect in Cuba.
Under
his leadership Cuba has attained almost 100 per cent literacy rate in a country
where education is absolutely free from the cradle to the grave.
Access
to healthcare in Cuba is also one of the best in the world.
The
small Island state of only 11 million people has successfully defeated US
aggression on several occasions.
The 90th birthday of Fidel is expected to be
marked across the world even in the capitals of western countries by
progressive forces.
In Ghana it will be marked with sporting and
cultural event by Ghanaians trained in Cuba, Cubans resident in Ghana and
members of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign on Saturday August 13, 2016.
The
Freedom Centre will also mark the event with a cultural event on Monday, August
15, a political discussion on Wednesday August 17 and a film show on Friday
August 19.
