Sancti Spiritus Congratulates Fidel Castro

Institutions and organizations of Sancti Spiritus hold celebrations to mark the 89th birthday anniversary of Cuban Revolution leader, Fidel Castro, this August 13th.

He no longer walks with long steps, nor dresses up with his olive green suit; he now wears plaid shirts. He’s a human being, not God, although having held the reins of the country for nearly five decades amidst a lot of hostilities and faced with tens of assassination attempts without being harmed, makes us think he might have some supernatural power.
