The begining of the End

In Cuba old people say, "There is not any illness that last one hundred years". And every time I hear that phrase the first thing that always comes to my mind is Fidel Castro. Because no doubt about it, Fidel is and has been the biggest illness that Cuba has suffered in the last 100 years. The Dictator now is 80 years old and his physical appearance clearly indicates that he will not last 100 years (Thanks God!).

Yesterday the Spanish TV Channel Univision 23 interrupted its normal programming to tell the World that Fidel Castro handed the full power of the country to his youngest brother Raul Castro. After that 1000 of Cubans went to the streets of Miami and Hialeah to celebrate this event that some of them have waited for 47 years.

At this moment it's unclear what is going to happen in the next years to come but one thing is certain, the beginning of the end has began. Fidel is dying and he will take with him 47 years of dictatorship.
