HAVANA: As Cuba marks 100 years since Fidel Castro’s birth, Cubans are questioning the promises of the socialist revolution he led for nearly half a century, and asking whether his successors are up to the job.
Cuba’s Communist Party has spent the week celebrating the late revolutionary leader with exhibitions, concerts and conferences.
But this August 13 comes amid one of Cuba’s worst crises in living memory, with acute shortages of food and water, and chronic power cuts.
For many Cubans, today’s hardship highlights the absence of a leader who died a decade ago.
Before placing Castro’s portrait in the window, Leonel Suarez gives it a kiss.
