CUBA-CASTRO-80TH ANNIVERSARY
Certain offices at the Cuban Army headquarters remain lit to design the number '50', in reference to the 50th anniversary of the communist revolution in Cuba, early on November 29th 2006 in Havana. In a message read to the nations last night by a speaker, Cuban President Fidel Castro announced that due to his doctors' advice, he won't be taking part in the birthday celebrations for his 80th birthday that were postponed from August 13 to December 2. The date was picked for the fiesta because it marks the 50th anniversary of the day Castro and 81 bearded rebels -- including brother Raul and Argentine-born revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara -- returned from exile in Mexico aboard a yacht named Granma, launching a military campaign that would topple US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959.
