THE DEATH OF former Cuban leader Fidel Castro struck a chord of togetherness in tributes yesterday by politicians and pan-Africanists.
“The death of the former president of the Republic of Cuba marks the passing of an indomitable figure who changed the course of history in his country and the region,” Prime Minister Freundel Stuart said.
“Fidel Castro Ruz represents as few others do, a symbol of anti-imperialism and continuous struggle for independence.
“He inspired many revolutionaries around the world to fight for their ideals. His support for the anti-apartheid struggle is a dimension of his legacy that will not be forgotten,” the Prime Minister added.
In the context of bilateral relations, he recalled Castro’s efforts to promote cooperation in health and education. (BA/HLE)
