Fidel's Farewell

Submitted by ub on

Cuban Caudillo Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz, who is well known for long and drawn out speeches which have literally lasted hours, may have delivered his final farewell speech.

Saying his communist ideas are still valid, the 89 year old dictator, who took power following his Cuban revolution against dictator Fulgencio Batista, is now visibly in frail health.

Fidel's final farewell took place on the final day of Cuba's Communist Party Congress. His tone was somber, but defiant, while he reminded his audience of his advanced age but still embracing his own communist ideals.
