Chancellors of the DAWN demand the OAS to indemnify Cuba

Havana. TheOrganization of American States (OAS) should repair the historical error of excluding Cuba of this interamerican mechanism, affirmed Patricia Rodas, minister of External Relationships of Honduras.

The exhortation made the Honduran minister at the end of an Extraordinary Summit of the chancellors and officials of high level of the countries members of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Towns of Our America (ALBA), informs today the daily Juventud Rebelde.

The Chancellor underlined that the OAS should repair its historical error of excluding Cuba of this interamerican mechanism “for the single fact - say-of having exercised the right to the sovereignty and the self-determination of its town, just as it establishes the Constituent Letter of this forum, legitimate daughter of the Letter of the UN.”

In her condition of official spokeswoman of the encounter, Rodas expressed: “The position that we are making is that the OAS suspends the resolutions that is to say for which was expelled Cuba of the organization, - she specified - that the OAS indemnifies Cuba and our towns, and never more she repeats that she made in 1962, violating the letter of its Constituent Letter.”

During the meeting that sesioned in Caracas, Rodas said that there is a counterproposal of international character that seeks devitrify the true essence of the position of Cuba before the OAS and envelope what the ALBA countries members have come alerting in the last times.

And she underlined: “We request to the media of the America that say the truth, and the truth is that the discussion is not on allowing Cuba to return to the OAS, but rather the rights are respected that attend him as independent and sovereign nation, free of choosing the political, economic and social system that considered, without the injerency neither the interference of other countries.”

To face the crisis and to advance

Camagüey. It is clear for all that we don't have a perfect society, but I would dare to say that there is not another so human as ours, so pending that men, women, children and old men receive all the material and spiritual goods that the socialism is able to offer, as cannot make the capitalism.

I am completely sure that any town, for very Spartan that had been, had been able to arrive until here, after 50 years facing to the most powerful imperialism and heidelberg that has existed on the face of the earth, and under the strong blockade and genocidist that it imposed us, the longest in the history, to give in for hunger and illnesses.

The preamble doesn't have any vindicative purpose of the inefficient, the bureaucracy, the indolence, the criminal and negligent behaviors with those that we collide to newspaper and that in way some has to do with the ethical and moral principles of the society that we build.

Neither I seek to ignore the concerns that suffer the population to see how it stretches the wage that doesn't reach, for the high prices of the products that should necessarily be acquired outside of the family basket that the State guarantees “against wind and gets dizzy”, and how other goods offered in the foreign currency area receive they, for the dichotomy of the double currency, of which the current economic situation doesn't allow us to do without.

Now, many times I wonder what had been of this country, if we didn't have the Revolution, after the three desvastators hurricanes that whipped us in the 2008, and whose material losses, mainly in the agriculture, in housings and in school, industrial facilities and of all type, cost to the country around ten thousand million dollars.

The survives who can had been to the agenda, like has happened in other many places, in New Orleans, city belonging to the powerful neighbor of the North and whose inhabitants, to more than five years of being whipped by the Katrina, stroll for other states like pariahs in their own earth, after having lost all their goods and many, the life of their relatives.

Blockade and special period is not simple enunciated. The fact of having learned how to deceive him and to resist it doesn't mean them not to be present. There is that test the impact that had and they have in the economic thing and in the social thing here; the negative sequel that leave us in our development and in the loss and jag of vital values to advance toward the socialism that we want.

In this world more and more globalized the financial and economic crisis is not only for the other ones, but also for us, with a sensitive one low in the price of the exports and remarkable rise in the imports, and if the millionaire wave of unemployed that shakes the universe doesn't play us it is because here we have a social system that privileges the man and not the gain, because the right to the work like half of life is sacred and is guaranteed to all.

The services of Health, with lunar incidental, most of subjective nature, are lent to the whole population, the same as the educational, those of social security, those of social attendance for destitute people, the nutritional plans for the childhood, in short, a range of benefits that are directed to rise and to improve the quality of life in their entirety that very few towns, regrettably, they can enjoy.

In the complex and spasm international situation, the nation consolidates its presence in the regional organisms, fundamentally in the Bolivarian Alternative for the Towns of Our America (ALBA), to find agreement formulas and cooperation that contribute to face the crisis.

In the internal thing, the austerity, the saving—energy and of all type—, the investments directed toward where more quickly surrender economic fruits, the substitution of exports and the production of foods for the population, are part of the politics that the country takes ahead to make in front of the crisis and at the same time to continue the development and to preserve the conquests of the Revolution in these 50 years, and in that road we will continue advancing.(Armando Boudet)

Anything can improvise in Haiti

I read five days ago a newsy office informing that Ban Ki-moon would name Bill Clinton like its special correspondent for Haiti.

“Clinton accompanied last month of March to the General Secretary to an official visit of two days to Haiti-- affirms the office—to support the development plan elaborated by the Government of Puerto Príncipe that looks for to wake up the made drowsy Haitian economy.

“The ex president has maintained a remarkable philanthropic commitment with the Antillean nation through the Global Initiative Clinton.

“Is a honor to accept the General Secretary's invitation to be the special correspondent for Haiti”, declared the former leader.

“Clinton pointed out that the town and the Government from Haiti have the capacity to overcome the serious damages that caused the four storms that razed the country last year.”

The following day, the same newsy agency informed that Mrs. Clinton, Secretary of State, full with joy, declared that “Bill was a stellar correspondent”. on the other hand, “the Secretary of the UN confirmed that had named Clinton like his new special correspondent for Haiti. We were together two months ago in that country and her presence helped to lift the conscience of the international community on the problems of the Caribbean country.

“The UN fears that after a period of several years of relative calm bolstered by the MINUSTAH the political uncertainty returns to the country.”

Repeats in the new office the history again of “the four hurricanes and storms that 900 deads caused, caused 800 thousand damaged and destroyed the civil scarce infrastructure of the country.”

The history of Haiti and its tragedy is much more complex.

After United States that proclaimed the sovereignty in 1776, Haiti was the second country of this hemisphere that conquered the independence in the year 1804. In the first case, the white descendants of the colonists that the 13 colonies English, fervorosos believing, austere and well educated, that were proprietors of lands were founded and of slaves, shook the yoke colonial English and enjoyed the national independence, didn't seize the autochthonous population, neither the African slaves or descendants that lacked all right, in spite of the principles included in the Declaration of Philadelphia.

In Haiti, where more than 400 thousand slaves worked for 30 thousand white proprietors, for the first time in the humanity's history the men and women subjected to the hateful system were able to abolish the slavery, to maintain and to defend an independent state, fighting against soldiers that had put from knees to the European monarchies.

That stage coincided with the peak of the capitalism and the emergence of powerful colonial empires that dominated the lands and the seas of the planet during centuries.

The Haitians were not the culprits of their current poverty, but the victims of a system imposed to the world. They didn't invent the colonialism, the capitalism, the imperialism, the unequal exchange, the neoliberalism neither the forms of exploitation and looting that have reigned in the planet during the last 200 years.

Haiti has 27 750 square kilometers of surface where, according to dear reliable, the population already reached, in the 2009, the figure of 9 million inhabitants. The number of people for square kilometer of arable earth rises at 885, one of the highest of the world, without development some of industries or other resources that allow him to acquire the minimum of indispensable material means for the life.

The population 53 percent lives in the field, the firewood and the coal constitute the only available domestic fuel for great part of the Haitian families, what hinders the reforestation. The absence of forests that with the fluffed floor of leaves, branches and roots, they retain the water, facilitates the human and economic damage that the intense rains cause in towns, roads and cultivations. The hurricanes, like it is known, cause considerable additional damages that will be every bigger time if the climate continues changing quickly. It is not a secret for anybody.

Our cooperation with the population from Haiti began ten years ago, when in fact the hurricanes George and Mitch whipped the Caribbean and to countries of Central America.

René Preval exercised the position of President from Haiti and Jean-Bertrand Aristide was boss of Government. The first contingent of 100 Cuban doctors was correspondent December 4 ,1998. The figure of Cuban collaborators of the health in Haiti rose later on to more than 600.

It was in that occasion when belived the Latin American School of Medicine, ELAM, where they study at the moment more than 12 thousand Latin American youths. Starting from then were granted the Haitian youths hundred of scholarships in the Ability of Medicine of Santiago de Cuba, one of the most experienced of the country.

In Haiti the number of primary schools had grown and went advancing. Until the humblest families desire that their children study, as only hope that can survive the poverty working inside or outside of their country. The Cuban program of doctors' formation was well received. The youths selected to study in Cuba had good basic preparation, inheritance maybe of the advances of France in that land. They should use one year in the course premedic that also included the Spanish language. It has constituted a good quarry of doctors of quality.

In our medical abilities have graduated as specialists in General Integral Medicine 533 Haitian youths, of them, 52 study in Cuba a second specialty that is needed at the moment. Another group of 527 occupies the registrations that correspond to the Republic of Haiti.

In that country work 413 Cuban professionals of the health that lend services gratuitously to that town brother at the present time. The Cuban doctors are present in the ten departments of the country and in 127 of the 137 communes. They also lend services more than 400 Haitian doctors formed in Cuba, and the students of the last year that carry out the educational practice in the own Haiti--next to our doctors--, that makes a total of more than 800 Haitian youths consecrated to the medical services in their Homeland. That force will grow more and more with the new ones graduate Haitian.

The challenge was hard, the Cuban doctors met with difficult problems. The infantile mortality was superior at 80 for each thousand born alive, the perspective of life was below the 60 years, the prevalence of the AIDS in the mature population in the year 2007 reached the figure of 120 thousand citizens. Dozens of children thousands and adults of diverse ages still die every year for illnesses infectilely like tuberculosis, malaria, diarrheas, fastidiousness and for bad nutrition, to point out alone some indexes. The own HIV is already an illness that can face and to guarantee the life of the patients. But this is not achieved in one year; it is indispensable a culture of health that the Haitian town acquires with growing interest. Advances are observed that demonstrate the possibility to improve the indexes of health considerably.

In three oftalmologyc centers created in Haiti, have been operated of the view 37109 patients. The cases that there cannot be operated by thier complexity, are sent to Cuba, where are assisted without cost some.

With the economic cooperation of Venezuela, 10 Integral Centers of Diagnosis are creating, equipped with modern technology that is already acquired.

More important than the resources that the international community can contribute, is the human personnel that uses such resources.

Our modest support to the town of Haiti has been possible although the hurricanes that Clinton spoke they also hit us. A good test that what it has lacked in the world is the solidarity.

It could be spoken equally from the Cuban contribution to the literacy programs and in other fields, in spite of our limited economic resources. But I don't want to extend neither it is desirable to make it to speak of our contribution. I concentrated on the health, because it is an unavoidable topic. We don't fear that others make what we are making. The Haitian youths that are formed in Cuba are becoming the priests of the health that in growing number that town brother requires.

The most important thing is the creation in new cooperation ways that this so much selfish world needs. The organisms of United Nations can testify that Cuba is contributing what they qualify like Integral Programs of Health.

Anything can improvise in Haiti and anything will be fruit of the philanthropic spirit of institution some.

To the project of the Latin American School of Medicine, was added the new formation program later in doctors' coming from Venezuela Cuba, Bolivia, the Caribbean, and other countries of the Third World, as their programs of health demanded him with urgency. Today they surpass the young figure of 24 thousand of the Third World those that study Medicine in our Homeland. Helping to other has also developed ourselves in that field, and we constitute an important force. That, and not the robbery of brains, is what we practice! Can they affirm the same thing the rich and overdeveloped countries of the G-7? Others will follow our example! Nobody doesn't doubt it!

Casa de las Américas Mourns the Death of Mario Benedetti

HAVANA, Cuba. With the following note, Havana's Casa de las Américas cultural institution joins the organizations, friends and intellectuals from around the world in mourning the death of Uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti on Sunday:

Uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti has just died; sad news for Latin American literature. In the mid 1940s Benedetti began to weave a vast and diverse work of not only the poetry and narrative that would captivate millions of readers, but also of essays, plays, critiques, and
news articles.

Captivating, incisive, and controversial, Benedetti had the capacity to attract crowds wherever he brought his verses and to generate heated intellectual and political debates. His dozens of books are among the most read in Latin American literature of the second half of the 20th
century.

Our friend Mario Benedetti has just died. The news is painful for those who could always count on his voice and solidarity. Since his first visit to Cuba in 1966, his commitment to the construction of a new society was exemplary.

His strong convictions threw him into exile (a good part of which he spent in Havana). He never hesitated to defend his ideas, which were also our ideas, in all the forums he attended. He was hounded for his support of Cuba, but he never gave up for a single moment the support of a Revolution he considered his own.

Our very close friend Mario Benedetti has just died. The news caused us great consternation, to use a term Mario himself engraved in his poem to Che. Mario was not only a great writer and a great friend in solidarity, but also a tireless worker of the Casa de las Americas -a task to which he would also bring his beloved Luz- ever since his first visit when he participated as a jury of the Casa's Prize for Literature.

He became a member of the Cooperation Committee of the Casa's magazine and later found the Center for Literary Research in 1967. He worked for many intense years at the Casa and helped to shape its essence, which it maintains today. Casa de las Americas has published several of his
titles and released recordings of his poetry recitals.

In a sad coincidence, Mario leaves us when Casa de las Americas is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Nevertheless, his voice, his memory, is books and that other great work of his, the Casa itself, remain with us.

Cuban Citrus Industry Diversifies its Production

The Ceballos citrus industry started operating a new production line for pineapple juice as part of a program to diversify its output.

This work was completed with the setting up of a press that fell into disuse in the Isla de la Juventud municipality. The factory engineers made some improvements to the press, thus enabling them to produce plain and concentrated juices.

Domingo Escalante Pérez, assistant director of Ciego de Avila Citrus Industrial Enterprise said that over 180 tons of pineapple harvested in the Villa Clara and Matanzas provinces have already been processed.

Escalante pointed out that this equipment enables them to squeeze approximately 8 tons per hour and make full use of the fruit, while the waste is used to feed cattle, especially dairy cows.

This idea came into practice due to the growth of crop areas developed in the Ciego de Avila province, which was 268 hectares in 2008 and will be greater this year.

The first crops sown last year should start producing during the present year’s second semester.

The Ceballos industry is ready to process other fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, lemons, tangerines, guava, mangoes and papaya amongst others.

Tanzanian Newspaper Asks Obama to Free the Cuban Five

HAVANA, Cuba.The Tanzanian English newspaper, The African, published an article on the case of the five Cubans unfairly imprisoned in the US.

The author of the article, Philbert Kawezi, gives an overview of the tangled judicial process against the Five in Miami and argues that every just person should demand a new trial outside of Florida and call for the immediate and unconditional releases of these five men.

The article asks US President Barak Obama to grant a fair trial for the Cuban Five and makes a call to the international community to support the cause.

Internationally known as the Cuban Five or the Miami Five, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino and Rene Gonzalez have been imprisoned for more than 10 years now after they warned their country about terrorist actions being organized and carried out by anti-Cuban groups in Florida.

Kawezi says the Five, like so many other Cuban soldiers, doctors, teachers, builders and consultants who have helped Africa, are a part of Africa: "We can not ignore the call of our liberators."
