*FIDEL ADDRESSES RALLY OF MORE THAN 30,000 CUBANS FROM CITY OF GUISA
Guisa, November 25 (RHC)--Cuban President Fidel Castro addressed a
rally today of more than 30,000 Cubans in the town of Guisa in the
eastern province of Granma.
In a lively 20 minute speech, the Cuban leader accused the right
wing government of El Salvador of having information since October
1999, on the activities of international terrorist Luis Posada
Carriles, who is under arrest in Panama. The Cuban-born terrorist is
waiting a ruling on an extradition request made by Cuba for crimes
committed against that nation and for plotting the assassination of
Fidel Castro.
President Castro accused El Salvador's leader of lying during the
10th Ibero-American Summit which was held in Panama last weekend. He
stressed that all the relevant information on Posada's movements had
been sent to Salvadoran president, Francisco Flores by special envoy
on the afternoon of October 5, 1999.
The Cuban leader indicated that Posada Carriles lived in El
Salvador, tolerated by the current government and that various
members of the past administration of Armando Calderon Sol, who had
close ties with the terrorist, remain in the government of President
Flores. Further, charged President Castro, Flores had been informed
of the situation since he was a candidate and he chose to do
absolutely nothing about it and then he hypocritically lied during
the Panama Ibero- American Summit, claiming he knew nothing about
Posada Carriles' presence in his country.
Fidel Castro termed as "also hypocritical" a resolution against
terrorism presented by the El Salvadoran president and passed by the
Summit, which Cuba refused to sign because it dealt only with the
activities of ETA in Spain, leaving out the 40 years of state
terrorism waged against Cuba by the United States.
*LATIN AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGISTS MEET IN HAVANA
Havana, November 25 (RHC)--Over a dozen Latin American
Anthropologists agreed in Havana, on Friday, for the need to be
involved in the region's problems in order to confront the era of
technological globalization.
During the closing session of the 5th Social Anthropologist
Conference, the participants called on their fellow colleagues to
work on collective projects and social structures in each of their
countries. The region's anthropologists agreed to create, in Havana,
an information network on the Internet in an attempt to connect with
other experts in the field and to initiate mutual dialog.
*FRENCH EXPERT REPORTS CUBA HAS IMPORTANT OIL RESERVES
Havana, November 25 (RHC)--Cuba could satisfy its energy needs in
about five years after the discovery of important oil reserves,
according to French expert, Gerard Bourgoin.
The French expert, who heads a Canadian company dedicated to the
exploration and development of Cuban oil, spoke about the existence
of a gas structure that is not allowing the release of the oil.
Gerard Bourgoin expressed that although it is a heavy oil due to
high quantities of sulfur, Cuban oil is of great use for the country
in generating electricity, domestic consumption and for the cement
and nickel industries.
Cuba achieved one million 376,000 tons of oil in 1999 and is expected
to end this year with 2.8 million tons and over 600 million cubic
meters of natural gas.
*TELEPHONE SERVICE EXPANDS IN REMOTE MOUNTAINOUS REGIONS
Havana, November 25 (RHC)--Cuba's Informatics and Communications
Ministry said in Havana on Friday that they will continue expanding
the telephone service to the island's mountainous regions, especially
the provinces of Villa Clara and Cienfuegos in the central part of
the country.
They added that a complex program of installation has begun in the
eastern Sierra Maestra Mountains and will continue to the central
Escambray Mountains with the objective of improving living conditions
in those remote areas.
*RALLY PLANNED FOR MONDAY AT JOSE MARTI ANTI-IMPERLIALIST TRIBUNE
Havana, November 25 (RHC)--More than one hundred thousand Cubans will
gather Monday morning at Havana's Jose Marti Anti-Imperialist Tribune
to commemorate the 129th anniversary of the killing of 7 Cuban
medical students during the Spanish colonialism.
Every November 27, Cubans of all walks of life commemorate the
criminal act against the innocent students whose only crime was to be
part of a wave of protests in favor of the island's independence from
Spanish colonialism.
*VARADERO'S AIRPORT CELEBRATES 11th BIRTHDAY
Varadero, November 25 (RHC)--After 11 years of expanding
operations, Varadero's Juan Gualberto Gomez International Airport is
today one of the most important in Cuba.

tourist complex, located some 140 kilometers from Havana.

it has carried out 140 thousand operations and catered to 8 million
passengers. By the end of this year Varadero airport expects to have

*FIRST ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE CONGRESS WINDS UP IN HAVANA
Havana, November 25 (RHC)--The lst Congress of the Cuban Society
of Bioenergetics and Alternative Medicine wound up on Friday, after
three days of sessions, and two days of pre-congress courses.
During the closing ceremony, held at Havana's ORTOP Convention
Center, Colonel Jose Ernesto Betancourt, head of the Cuban Ministry
of Armed Forces' Department of Medical Services, said that the
congress had fulfilled its objectives, since it served as an adequate
framework for the exchange of experiences and for scientific debate,
as well as for the establishment of relations that will contribute to
the development and consolidation of Cuba's Natural and Traditional
Medicine Program over the next few years.
The Cuban official also said that Cuba's goal is to achieve a
harmonious balance of the different expressions of bioenergetics and
alternative medicine. This will allow for the expansion of the
capacity of our island's professionals and an increase in the level
of satisfaction of the Cuban people for the health services received.
Among issues debated by the hundreds of delegates from some 10
countries attending the event were the latest methods and results of
the application of chiropractics, chi ckong, reflexology, acupuncture
and other techniques, as well as the need of obtaining a state of
harmony of our bodies with the world around us.
Numerous personalities attended this lst Congress of the Cuban
Society of Bioenergetics and Alternative Medicine, among them Dr.
Ralph Allan Dale, from the United States, the discoverer of today's
micro-acupunture concepts and techniques.
Viewpoint:
*CUBA DEMANDS JUSTICE, NOT REVENGE
Cuba is prepared to accept the formation of an international court to
judge the Cuban-born terrorists arrested last Friday in Panama City
after Cuba discovered a plot to assassinate President Fidel Castro.
Cuba's enemies are misinforming the public by spreading the rumor
that if terrorist Luis Posada Carriles and his accomplices, who
planned to assassinate the Cuban President during the 10th Ibero
American Summit of Heads of States and Government, are extradited to
Cuba to be judged for their crimes, they will not escape the death
penalty.
Some western media, which never mentioned a word about terrorist
actions committed against Cuba, are now re-living the atmosphere of
the cold war regarding the justice courts of socialist countries.
This was the time when the notorious brainwashing was put into
practice, forcing the accused to confess against themselves as the
main one responsible for any crime before the courts. Cuba did not
make any slandering accusations, despite having sufficient reasons to
be inexorable against its bloodiest enemies.
In Cuba, many surveys and interviews among the population have been
done to find out peoples' opinions regarding the case of terrorist
Posada Carriles. Most people agree that Cubans are not looking for
revenge, they simply demand justice.
