Communists will prevail, says Fidel

CUBAN revolutionary leader Fidel Castro assured the world “the Cuban people will win” on Tuesday.

Speaking at the close of the Communist Party of Cuba’s seventh congress in Havana, el Comandante reminded the nearly 1,000 delegates of the “greatest honour” of representing the people.

With the Cuban revolution in its 67th year, Mr Castro said that another 70 years should not pass “for humanity to have another example of a great social revolution that represented a huge step in the fight against colonialism and its inseparable companion, imperialism.”
