Today, (Oct 18, 2012), the Guyanese people found out that their president is in Cuba through the Cuban News Agency (PRENSA). The public had no clue that President Ramotar was going to Cuba on an official three-day visit. They have no idea who comprised the delegation that he is leading to Cuba.

Two events relating to Cuba, and occurring last week, placed the country in the spotlight. The first was a marking of the 50th anniversary of the so-called October missile crisis of 1962, when in response to what appeared to be a Soviet attempt to place nuclear missiles in Cuba, the United States threatened to use nuclear weapons to ensure the turnaround of the Soviet warships carrying the missiles. The second was the decision of the government of Cuba to remove any limits on Cuban citizens’ ability to travel out of the country – the lifting of so-called exit visas –  thus allowing free movement to the United States of America where the majority of Cubans living outside of their country now reside.    Continue reading →
