一名女子在聖地牙哥共乘計程車。

斐代爾・卡斯楚——古巴前總統暨共產主義革命領袖,於11月26日辭世,古巴舉國激動地哀悼著。卡斯楚的骨灰從哈瓦那出發,踏上回溯1959年時聖地牙哥到哈瓦那的勝利之途,上萬名民眾出席,守候著隊伍經過。卡斯楚身後留下一個教育及健保體系備受尊崇的古巴,但同時也留下一個與美國長期存在經濟貿易禁令的古巴,導致民生物資缺乏與隨處可見的破敗。

A woman shares a taxi ride to Santiago de Cuba.

Fidel Castro, Cuba’s former president and leader of the Communist revolution, died on 26 November. Mourning was fervent and public across the country. Castro’s ashes were taken on a route that retraced, in reverse, the steps of his victorious march from Santiago to Havana in 1959. Thousands turned out to watch the procession pass. Castro left a Cuba with much-admired education and healthcare systems, but one where a longstanding US economic embargo had led to shortages of basic supplies and widespread disrepair.
