Editor's Note:
Today's digital version of Granma International from Cuba carries this latest piece from former Cuban president Fidel Castro on the situation in Haiti. "The lesson of Haiti" reflects the strong bonds of internationalism between the Africans of Haiti and the people of Cuba.
I have been watching for hours now on television the tribute that the
entire country is paying to Commander of the Revolution Juan Almeida
Bosque. I think that facing death was for him just another duty as so
many others he discharged throughout his life. He did not know neither
did we how much sadness the news of his physical absence would bring
to us.
