HAVANA - Hundreds of flag-waving people rallied in Cuba's capital on Tuesday to publicly declare their support for ailing leader Fidel Castro, as assurances he was recovering began to ease Cubans' worries about their long-ruling leader.
Cubans gathered in a working-class neighborhood sang the national anthem and chanted "Long live Fidel! Long live Raul!" in support of Castro and his brother Raul, to whom he has temporarily ceded power. Local Communist officials, meanwhile, made patriotic statements from a sound stage on a tractor-trailer. |
