Weekend at One: Cubans pay tribute to their Guerrilla struggle leader Fidel Castro

4th December, 2016

Thousands of Cubans pay tribute to Fidel Castro during an overnight vigil at the revolution plaza of Santiago de Cuba, the cradle of Fidel’s guerrilla struggle. The convoy carrying the ashes of Cuba’s late communist leader Fidel Castro has capped an island-wide journey, reaching the cradle of his revolution for a final rally before burial. The ashes were paraded across the eastern city, stopping in front of a balcony where Castro gave a speech following his revolution's triumph in 1959.like other crowds along the four-day, 900km trip from Havana, this one chanted "i am Fidel!" after a series of Castro speeches played on a giant screen. Meanwhile, dissidents have kept a low profile during the commemorations, calling off regular protests, although they plan to resume their demonstrations after Castro’s burial.
