Morales retraces Che's last footsteps
Bolivian tribute to revolutionary hero who died 50 years ago

BOLIVIAN President Evo Morales retraced the last footsteps of Che Guevara on Sunday — 50 years after the guerilla fighter was killed leading an attempted revolution there.

Mr Morales travelled to the remote mountain hamlet of La Higuera, where the Argentinian-born veteran of the Cuban revolution was summarily executed on October 9 1967.

“This struggle continues and will continue as long as capitalism and imperialism exist,” he said.
