Il comandante fidel castro goes home to Ernesto Che Guevara , adiós Il comandante …

The illegitimate son of a successful sugar cane farmer, Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz was born Aug. 13, 1926, on his father’s farm, near Birán, Cuba. Educated in private Jesuit boarding schools, Castro was a clever and athletic but rambunctious child. In high school, his reckless behavior reportedly earned him the nickname “El Loco,” the crazy one. This reputation followed him to the University of Havana, where he began studying law in 1945.
Castro showed signs of brilliance as a college student, but he was also rumored to have been involved in acts of violence. His reputation at the time was such that when a young woman named Mirta Díaz Balart (whom Castro would marry in 1948) fell in love with him, her brother gave her the following warning: “You know he’s crazy, he’s paranoid and a psychopath who’d just as soon throw you off the 10th floor as buy you a mink coat.
Castro graduated from the University of Havana in 1950 with a doctorate in law , But in March 1952, Castro’s political ambitions ― and Cuba’s democracy ― were derailed when General Fulgencio Batista led a coup d’etat, ousting the sitting president. As a dictator, Batista became increasingly ruthless, and his government grew ever more corrupt.
Castro, together with his brother Raúl and more than 100 other rebels, organized an attack against the Batista regime. Their target: the Moncada Barracks, one of the largest military garrisons in the country. Usually regarded as the beginning of the Cuban Revolution, the July 26, 1953, offensive was a total disaster. Dozens of rebels either were killed or were captured, tortured and later executed. Castro and his brother were caught and sentenced to 15 years behind bars.
“Condemn me, it does not matter. History will absolve me,” Castro, who argued in his own defense, famously said during his trial.
On Dec. 2, 1956, a group of 82 men, including Castro, his brother and Guevara, landed in Cuba on an overloaded yacht named the Granma. Like Moncada, the attack was a disaster, and most of the men were killed. A small group of survivors managed to flee into the mountains, where they recruited new fighters. The revolutionaries went on to engage in a fierce and successful guerrilla war against government troops.
On New Year’s Day 1959, following years of clashes with the rebels, Batista fled Cuba. Considered by many to be a national hero, Castro in February 1959 was sworn in as prime minister of Cuba.
How do we remember the legacy of  il comandante fidel castro ?
We will remember him in the words of the great Ken Livingstone former Mayor of London who praised in 2006  Castro’s social reforms. “What’s amazing here is you’ve got a country that’s suffered an illegal economic blockade by the United States for almost half a century and yet it’s been able to give its people the best standard of health care, brilliant education,” Livingstone’s been quoted as saying. “To do this in the teeth of an almost economic war is a tribute to Fidel Castro.”
How Fidel achieved that  social reforms despite economic war ? he was not corrupt . He didn’t has foreign bank accounts . He didn’t steal money from the Proletariat like the case is in Somaliland . Somaliland Ministers , the family of the President and almost every worker are stealing money from the Proletariat in Somaliland . And Sheikh / Shaydaan Samaale is back in town to steal more money from the Proletariat , may ALLAH save the Proletariat , may ALLAH save  Somaliland . adiós Il comandante ….
