Is Fidel Castro alive?
Fidel Castro, president (or dictator) of Cuba has held an iron grip on his country for about 50 years, since the Cuban revolution. Reportedly, he has been sick, and no one has seen him publicly since late July. He turned 80 years old in early August. Fidel’s two brothers, Raúl and Ramón, insist that Fidel’s doing fine and he’s recovering, but his state of health is a ’state secret’. Cubans were sobered earlier this month with a video of a weak, bed-ridden Fidel. I think a lot of people wonder if he has actually died, and the Cuban government is covering it up in the name of peace. I guess we’ll find out sooner or later.
