People, blockade, Camilo and Fidel

Camagüey, - When Camilo Cienfuegos was ahead to the multitude that Castro advanced with Fidel to the front toward the Regiment Number 2 “Ignacio Agramonte” of Camagüey and dismantled the treacherous Huber Matos to open the doors from the military strength to the town, the history recorded the brave new and heroic page forever Major in the plain of Cuba.

There have lapsed 51 years of the popular victory against the seditious intenton in Camagüey and of the Hero's irreparable physical absence who of return to Havana in a fragile air ship under a pregnant sky of storm, disappeared in the black firmament to be rocked with his wide boy smile in people's heart.

Camilo lives in who met him: Thin, agile, affable, playful, clean smile, winged hat, thick and black beard, shirt green olive tree with crowded pockets of important papers…He lives, in those that listened in his vibrant voice, to charge life the verses of Bonifacio Byrne: “If discards in small pieces / arrives to my flag turns some day / our deads, raising the arms / will know how to still defend it…”

But, How is it possible that the following generations until our days, today boys and girls know by heart?

It is that the Homeland, the Revolution, was won with the blood and the examples of the martyrs and arisen heroes of the town whose ideas prevail in a continuous history, so that the scream mambí never dies of: Free Cuba live!, for that reason “… in the town there is many Camilos “, sentenced Fidel.

Cuba, yesterday has just conquered another popular victory - with the value and Camilo's ideas - in front of the long blockade imposed by the United States. The Commandant in Boss, in the commemoration of the anniversary XXX of the disappearance of the Hero of Yaguajay, expressed:

“What would Camilo say if suddenly he read a cable in that we are said from United States how measures have to apply to be good revolutionaries, good socialists and good communist? What bourgeois and capitalists reform have to apply so that good revolutionaries consider us, good socialists, good communist; because now there are two types of revolutionaries, two types of socialists, two types of communist: the good ones and the bad, according to the definition of the imperialism. And us, what honor, we are among the bad…

“We are bad because we are incorrigible, because we don't make what tells us the imperialism that we should make, because we don't begin to flirt and to play with the capitalism in this country, because we already saw and we live some of the consequences of these games, and we are cured of fright and already of return of those caprices, and with more firm, more solid convictions that never; convinced than never of what can the socialism”

October 28, 1989, Fidel's words dedicated to the unforgettable Major of the landing of the Granma, the Sierra and the rebellious invasion of East to West, charge total validity in the historical moment that the Cubans live:

“… Today Camilo would be happy, and if there is fight for before, happier still; if there are difficulties, happier; if there is challenge, happier; if are injustices to correct, happier; and if he stays in all their vigor the heroic and historical fight of our town against the empire, happier he would be Camilo!

“It is necessary to make that made Camilo in the barracks of Camagüey: to be ahead; and perhaps be already being ahead, or maybe the times are wanting to go back, and we don't want to go back “(Rolando Sarmiento Ricart)

Camilo Cienfuegos, flight to the history

Camagüey, TO the six and a minute of the afternoon of October 28,1959, the twin-engine airplane mark Cessna 310 C, of five squares, left the airport of Camagüey bound for Havana.

On board, the pilot and first lieutenant, Luciano Fariñas Rodríguez; the soldier Féliz Rodríguez and the Boss of the State bigger than the Rebellious Army. Comandant Camilo Cienfuegos Gorriarán.

The time lapsed and the airship didn't arrive to its destination. The restlessness began to appear in the main leaders. Later, the anguish was general.
The following day, the nascent government revolutionary made public the disappearance of the Cessna and his tripulants.

The note emitted by the Section of Press of the Rebellious Army informed that the searches made until that moment had been fruitless. It was considered that the accident had happened in some point to the north of the counties of Camagüey, The Villages or Matanzas.

Turbonades among Ciego de Ávila and the last of these counties could cause the tragedy.
Report offered by the companies of other airships indicated that, apparently, the Cessna fell inside a powerful storm that came from the south, that which made the pilot to stray of the habitual route and to fly more to the north.

With this maneuver, the trip became longer and the fuel was insufficient. Under those circumstances, the possibilities to survive became remote.

During two weeks, in all Cuba was carried out intense search for sea and air. The areas for which could have flown over the air ship were revised span to span.

The youth revolutionary State used for this end all the available means, while the press maintained informed to the town of the efforts that were made to find Camilo and his partners. But the airplane never appeared.

November 12, 1959, Fidel Castro announced the definitive disappearance of the Hero of Yaguajay.

That day, the maximum leader affirmed that in the town there was many Camilos, and he pointed out: "(.) the only thing that we can request to our town is that, every time that the Homeland is in a difficult situation and in a moment of danger that remembers Camilo."

There have passed 51 years and the memory of the from then on Mr. of the Vanguard he lives in the memory of the Cubans.

The yank imperialism, in its desire to discredit to the Revolution, has tried to sell the history that Camilo was murdered by supposed disagreements with the revolutionary government in the making maximum leaders.

Before the reactionary conspiracy arisen in Camagüey days before his physical disappearance, the Commandant Camilo Cienfuegos faced, denounced and captured the traitors, fact that demonstrated his loyalty to Fidel and the historical direction of social justice for which always fought.(Dai Liem Lafá Armenteros)
