Oh, I did not see his mentee, Jerry Rawlings, among the marchers. They are all going one after the other. This world will soon be cleared of murderous, infallible "revolutionaries". May Castro rust in pieces.

The CPP should hold a special event to honour Comrade commandante,anti-neo-colonialist,anti-imperialist Fidel Castro who stood shoulder to shoulder with african countries to terminate colonialism in Africa.Neo-colonialist and imperialist economic blockade of Cuba failed to bring Cuba under Castro to its knees.Cuba under Castro had one of the best medical services in the world and it was free to its citizens. Education in Cuba is free at all levels.No homelessness,no gun violence and according to the UN has one of the lowest unemployment percentage in the world.At least Cuba under'dictator'[?] Castro was able to provide all the basic needs of human beings to its citizens.He did not promote oligarchic rule under the guise of democracy.

Misleading heading.
These are indoctrinated fools marching in rememberance of the demented despot, castro.
The ewe tribal bigots rawlings and awoonor, sent only ewes and the docile northerners and only a neglible number of akans and the other tribes to the isle of youth.
A typical fool is Hannah Bissuw, who wants to be addressed Doctor on a tv program. I will never allow hannah bissuw to even attend to a stray dog in mallata market.
Cuban graduates and professionals my foot !
Half-baked illiterates.
Castro, the most stupid dictactor anyone can describe.
He left a legacy of mourning, economic deprivation, backwardness, hunger and prostitution on that island.
When major players practising socialism and communism were shifting to market policies, a demented fool like Castro was still stewing in his ignorance and stupidity.
Look at Cuba today, after 5 decades of foolishness and pain.
Sir Winston Churchill descibed Socialism as " The philosophy of , the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery ".
Robotic fools who are all in the stealing game in ndc.
March on, ignoramuses.

the capitalist or whatever you call yourself, you are not the only one who has lived or is living in a Western country. I live in UK and when I watch documentaries on Cuba made by British journalists, if what they say is true, then even British citizens cannot claim they have a better lifestyle (in terms of basic needs) than Cubans. Your America doesn't even come into the comparison - you are only a few steps ahead of Africa in terms of everything. You ask how black Cubans are treated in Cuba? Who doesn't know how blacks are treated in the US - even a new born baby knows?

KENNEDY WHICH LASTED FOR 50 YEARS WAS FINALLY LIFTED BY H.E PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WHEN H.E.PRESIDENT OF CUBA RAUL CASTRO, THE BROTHER OF THE LATE PRESIDENT FIDEL CASTRO WAS GIVEN THE MANTEL OF THE PRESIDENCY OF CUBA AND HE STARTED REFORM PROGRAMS, THERETO.
THEREFORE IT IS AGAINST THESE RELATED BACKDROPS THAT REGRETTABLY SENDING THIS MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCES TO THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE OF CUBA AND THAT MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE GOVERNMENT,THE PEOPLE OF CUBA AND THE BEREAVED FAMILIES.

Fidel Funeral The government declared nine days of mourning for the man who built a Communist state.
Tens of thousands of Cubans greeted Fidel Castro's funeral cortege on its journey across Cuba on Thursday, unflagging in their admiration for one of the towering figures of the 20th Century who is equally loathed by his adversaries.

Waving flags and singing the national anthem, Cubans thickly lined pastel-colored colonial streets to pay their respects to Castro. He died on Friday at age 90, a decade after stepping down as president but defiant to the end toward the United States, the world power he tormented from just 90 miles (145 km) away.

The government declared nine days of mourning for the man who built a Communist state, aligned Cuba with the Soviet Union and survived what his government claimed were more than 600 U.S. assassination attempts.

The cause of his death has not been made public, but Castro had been weak since an intestinal ailment believed to be diverticulitis forced him to relinquish power in 2006.

The outpouring from ordinary Cubans contrasts with the hatred of many Cuban exiles who saw Castro as a tyrant who jailed opponents and ruined the economy with socialism.

Whether out of revolutionary zeal, nationalist pride or a sense of obligation in a one-party state that tolerates little dissent, Cubans have poured onto the streets to bid their final farewell.

"I was born with him, I lived with him, and I wanted to die before him," said Ivan Castillo, 44, a public health worker.

He carried his 6-year-old son with the words "I am Fidel" across his forehead, a repetition of a phrase that has become the national slogan for the mourning period, shouted from streets and squares.

"Now it's on those of us who lived with Fidel to teach the youth to continue fighting for his ideals," Castillo said, in the city of Camaguey, where Castro's ashes will stay overnight 336 miles (542 km) east of Havana.

On Wednesday, his casket spent the night alongside the remains of Che Guevara in the city of Santa Clara.

The procession was slowly making its way east, destined for the final resting place of his ashes in Santiago de Cuba, where Castro's rebels first launched an attack on the U.S.-backed forces of Fulgencio Batista in 1953.

Batista was finally driven from Cuba on Jan. 1, 1959, and the cortege is retracing the trek Castro made from that day until he arrived in Havana a week later.

Castro would go on to build a healthcare system for the poor, he sent doctors around the world but also soldiers to Africa to help Namibia achieve independence and weaken apartheid in South Africa.

Many lined up for hours on Monday and Tuesday to pass through a memorial in Havana's Revolution Square. Tens, if not hundreds of thousands, gathered there on Tuesday night for a four-hour ceremony in which presidents from around the world delivered eulogies.

Castro had good intentions. The problem is communism is not sustainable. The Cubans have made great progress is some areas but their lives are not better. Basic necessities lacking, a repressive regime and lack of freedom. If there was to be a fair election today, communism would be soundly rejected in Cuba
