What Should Be Demanded From The United States
Reflections by Comrade Fidel Castro
The meeting in Costa Rica didn’t, nor could it, lead to peace. The people of Honduras are not at war, it’s just the perpetrators of the coup who are using weapons against the people. One should demand that they cease their war against the [...]
