Cuba’s Fidel: The Most Well-Foretold Death
I want to share with you a very interesting article from Havanatimes.org, a very unbiased source (overall) publishing from within Cuba. It really explains a lot about the Cuban reality through a rumination on the never-ending rumours about Fidel Castro's death that eminate - usually - from Miami's anti-Castro Cuban expatriate community. The last spate came on New Year's Eve, if I recall correctly, and was all over Twitter. This particular piece does not originate with Havanatimes.org, but has been translated into English with authorization from a BBC Mundo article.
The Havanatimes.org site is required reading for anyone interested in Cuba. In their articles they are not afraid to either praise - or criticize - what is happening on the ground in Cuba today.

He's may not be popular with Cubans in Miami but he still has a lot of supporters at home.
It would seem so, from our experience.
The degree to which the Miami Cubans are out of touch with what's going on 90 miles from them beggars the imagination.
Brent: Astute observation. However it's interesting that the newer Miami Cuban-heritage generation(s) who didn't personally experience the revolution have very different feelings and want the "war" against Cuba to end so they can visit/have access to extended family there.
