Cuba’s Fidel Castro celebrates 90th birthday
“I want to express my deepest gratitude for the shows of respect, greetings and praise that I’ve received in recent days, which give me strength to reciprocate with ideas that I will send to party militants and relevant organizations,” he wrote. Castro returns at the end to criticize Obama, who appeared to anger the revolutionary leader with a March trip to Cuba in which he called for Cubans to look toward the future. Government ministries have held small musical performances and photo exhibitions that pay tribute to the former head of state.
