Che Guevara's Motorcycle Diaries companion Granado dies
Alberto Granado, the motorcycle companion of Ernesto Che Guevara, has died in Cuba at the age of 88. The pair's eight-month journey around Latin America was immortalised in the 2004 film The Motorcycle Diaries. The journey, started in 1951, exposed the two medical students to deep poverty and social injustice and awoke Guevara's revolutionary convictions.
WikiLeaks cables: Cuba's 'best friends forever' ignore human rights
Australia, Canada and several European countries have stopped pressuring Cuba over human rights in the hope of winning commercial favours from Havana, according to confidential US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks. The western governments continued to pay lip service to concerns about political prisoners and censorship, but in reality were appeasing the island's communist rulers, said Jonath
Cuba to cut one million public sector jobs
Cuba's government employs about 85% of the country's 5.1 million workers Cuba has announced radical plans to lay off huge numbers of state employees, to help revive the communist country's struggling economy. The Cuban labour federation said more than a million workers would lose their jobs - half of them by March next year. Those laid off will be encouraged to become self-employed or join new pri
Fidel Castro says remarks about Cuban model 'not working' misinterpreted
Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for the Atlantic magazine, reported that at the end of a long lunch last month he asked the 84-year-old communist revolutionary if Cuba's economic system was still worth exporting to other countries. He said Castro replied: "The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore." Castro did not elaborate but the implication, according to Julia Sweig, a Cuba ex
Fidel: 'Cuban Model Doesn't Even Work for Us Anymore'
There were many odd things about my recent Havana stopover (apart from the dolphin show, which I'll get to shortly), but one of the most unusual was Fidel Castro's level of self-reflection. I only have limited experience with Communist autocrats (I have more experience with non-Communist autocrats) but it seemed truly striking that Castro was willing to admit that he misplayed his hand at a crucia
Fidel Castro says his economic system is failing
It was a casual remark over a lunch of salad, fish and red wine but future historians are likely to parse and ponder every word: "The Cuban model doesn't even work for us any more." Fidel Castro's nine-word confession, dropped into conversation with a visiting US journalist and policy analyst, undercuts half a century of thundering revolutionary certitude about Cuban socialism. That the island's e
Castro: 'No One Has Been Slandered More Than the Jews'
A couple of weeks ago, while I was on vacation, my cell phone rang; it was Jorge Bolanos, the head of the Cuban Interest Section (we of course don't have diplomatic relations with Cuba) in Washington. "I have a message for you from Fidel," he said. This made me sit up straight. "He has read your Atlantic article about Iran and Israel. He invites you to Havana on Sunday to discuss the article." I a
