KEEP PAMBAZUKA FREE AND INDEPENDENT! Pambazuka News 801: Farewell, Comrade Fidel Castro ------------------------------ 01 December 2016 CONTENTS: 1. Features <http://www.pambazuka.net/en/issue.php/current/#cat_1> 2. Announcement <http://www.pambazuka.net/en/issue.php/current/#cat_3> ------------------------------ *Features* ------------------------------ Fidel Castro: Charismatic revolutionary leader who defied the odds <http://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/fidel-castro-charismatic-revolutionary-leader-who-defied-odds>Peter Mayo <http://www.pambazuka.org/author/peter-mayo>Despite enormous difficulties arising from a US economic blockade, Cuba under Castro made tremendous strides forward in education, medicine, science, sport, international exchange relations and sustainable development. The Cuban revolution served as a promising source of hope not only to the impoverished people of Latin America but also to the rest of the Tricontinental World - the exploited and colonized populations of Latin America, Asia and Africa. A global revolutionary <http://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/global-revolutionary>Sergio Alejandro Gómez <http://www.pambazuka.org/author/sergio-alejandro-g%C3%B3mez>No one can look back over 20th and 21st century history without studying the work and ideas of this Cuban who wrote a small Caribbean island into the pages of “true global history,” as told by the people. Fidel Castro, a hero of our times <http://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/fidel-castro-hero-our-times>Cameron Duodu <http://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/6674>Vivid accounts of Castro’s brave encounters with the forces of oppression enabled people of diverse cultures and backgrounds to envisage waging similar struggles in their own terrain. Suddenly, revolution was seen as a possible and viable alternative to corrupt dictatorship in many developing countries. Pan African solidarity with the Cuban people <http://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/pan-african-solidarity-cuban-people>*A Statement by the North American Delegation to the 8th Pan African Congress on the passing of Comrade Fidel Castro Ruiz*The Pan African Congress - North America <http://www.pambazuka.org/author/pan-african-congress-north-america>His anti-imperialist policies, socialist initiatives and strong internationalism have earned him a lasting place in world history. The death of a colossus: Fidel Castro joins the Ancestors at 90, unbroken, undefeated <http://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/death-colossus-fidel-castro-joins-ancestors-90-unbroken-undefeated>Ezili Danto <http://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/9389>Despite the obvious propaganda attempting to demonize him, Fidel Castro will always remain an icon, a warrior for the poor and disenfranchised. He will forever be a symbol of revolution against Western imperialism, colonialism, subjugation, human exploitation and profit before people. Comrade Fidel, red salute! <http://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/comrade-fidel-red-salute>Farooque Chowdhury <http://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/7808>Fidel Castro embodied in his life the unending struggle of ordinary people for a life of dignity against the forces of oppression. In him dedicated revolutionaries find the inspiration to resist their enemy, regardless how mighty. Interview with Fidel Castro: The nature of Cuban socialism <http://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/interview-fidel-castro-nature-cuban-socialism>Arminio Savioli <http://www.pambazuka.org/author/arminio-savioli>Fidel Castro was a fierce Cuban revolutionary whose principle and dedication to revolutionary ideals of international socialism was like no other. Fidel passed away on 26 November 2019 at the age of 90 years. The following interview was conducted in February 1961 in Cuba. Fidel Castro and Yoweri Museveni: Brothers in arms <http://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/fidel-castro-and-yoweri-museveni-brothers-arms>Mary Serumaga <http://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/9388>Museveni and Castro both came to power through a revolution. Despite a crippling international blockade led by America, Cuba under Castro made huge strides in development while Uganda, a darling of the West, has remained backward - with all those millions of dollars in aid. It is a country where ordinary diarrhea is a life-threatening condition. Fidel Castro, Cuban internationalism and the African Revolution <http://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/fidel-castro-cuban-internationalism-and-african-revolution>*Continent mourns Communist leader who dedicated his life to human liberation*Abayomi Azikiwe <http://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/5740>No other political figure outside of Africa symbolized global solidarity with the aspirations of the people than Comandante President Fidel Castro Ruz of the Republic of Cuba. Barack and Fidel: A beyond bizarre comparison <http://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/barack-and-fidel-beyond-bizarre-comparison>Netfa Freeman <http://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/4227>It is laughable – or pitiful – to compare Barack Obama to Fidel Castro. The fundamental truth is: Barack Obama is the president of imperialism. By necessity he must be a mass murdering, lying, enemy of humanity*.* It is an unspoken prerequisite for that job. Fidel Castro is the opposite. That’s why a long line of U.S. presidents has tried to assassinate Castro over 600 times, and committed 1,000 acts of terror against his people. As we mourn Fidel Castro, it is time Africa’s youth rose up against kleptocracies <http://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/we-mourn-fidel-castro-it-time-africa%E2%80%99s-youth-rose-against-kleptocracies>Sekou Toure Otondi <http://www.pambazuka.org/author/sekou-toure-otondi>Nobody should be under the illusion that the conditions of poverty and hopelessness that crush the masses of the people in Africa are one day going to end without a bitter struggle. The time is ripe for a Socialist revolution in Africa that will overthrow elite misrule and put the continent on the path to true transformation. That is the urgent task for Africa’s teeming masses of young people. ------------------------------ *Announcement* ------------------------------ Pambazuka Android App is now on Google Play StoreAs a way to reach more people and to make your experience with Pambazuka News better, we have developed an android app as another tool to create a better reading experience with mobile devices.
