On August 13, on the occasion of the 97th birthday of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz, the main figures of the Greater Antilles, as well as friendly countries remembered his legacy.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz – Canel Bermúdez, through his account on X, formerly called Twitter, said: “Cuba celebrates the 97th birthday of the most Martiano of its sons, of the historic leader of the Generation that fulfilled the dreams of the Apostle. It is a day to celebrate, without forgetting that every day is to give continuity to his work”.

For his part, the Prime Minister, Manuel Marreo Cruz, referred to the former president as “eternal young rebel” and stressed that “being faithful continuators of his legacy and his ideas is today the “best gift”.

Likewise, the Cuban Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, assured to remain on “the path of dignity, solidarity and social justice” that the leader bequeathed. “Fidel will guide with his ethics and morals our revolutionary diplomacy,” he stressed on the social network itself.

On the other hand, the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, affirmed remembering him “as a tireless rebel, intolerant of injustice and master of the impossible.” He added that “Fidel encourages us to continue fighting for the dignity of the peoples”.

Meanwhile, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Iván Gil, referred to the eternal Commander as “a soldier of ideas and a beacon of light” for all revolutionaries who walk the path of struggle “against imperial powers that continue attacking Our America”.

Fidel was one of the most outstanding statesmen, thinkers and revolutionaries of the 20th century. He led the war of liberation against the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, under the protection of the U.S. government, in the 1950s, with the aim of generating the profound political, economic and social transformations that Cuba needed.

Pope Francis donated Popemobile transformed into mobile clinic for Gaza’s children

Before his death, Pope Francis donated one of his popemobiles to be converted into a mobile medical unit for children in Gaza, officials confirmed on Monday.

The Jerusalem and Sweden branches of Caritas, the Vatican’s charitable federation, released photos of the repurposed vehicle on Monday. However, there is no set date yet for when it will be operational. The donation was announced the same day Israel approved plans to take over the Gaza Strip and remain in the Palestinian territory for an unspecified period.

“When the humanitarian corridor to Gaza reopens, it will be ready to provide primary medical care to children in Gaza,” Caritas Jerusalem said in a statement.

The mobile clinic will be outfitted with diagnostic, examination, and treatment supplies, including testing equipment, suture kits, syringes and needles, oxygen supplies, vaccines, and a medical-grade refrigerator, according to Caritas.

India asks to identify Pakistani citizens in the country to ensure their departure before Sunday

The Indian government asked regional executives on Friday to identify all Pakistani citizens in their territories to ensure that they leave India once the deadline granted by the authorities to leave expires on April 27.

This measure was transmitted today to the heads of government of the different Indian states by the Minister of the Interior, Amit Shah, according to official sources cited by several media in the country.

Pakistani citizens must leave the country before April 27, following the order issued yesterday by the Indian Government, in which it indicated that all visas issued to nationals of the neighboring country will be revoked from that moment on.

He only made an exception with medical visa holders, to whom he granted until April 29 to leave India.

The order has increased transit at the only land crossing between India and Pakistan, known as the Attari-Wagah border, to where Pakistani citizens have traveled today to leave the country.

The suspension of visas is part of a series of measures ordered last Wednesday by New Delhi, in response to the terrorist attack perpetrated the day earlier in Indian-run Kashmir, in which 26 people died.

The Indian government said it had indications that the attackers had the support of Pakistan, which New Delhi accuses of sponsoring the insurgency in Kashmir, which has caused a serious diplomatic crisis between the two nations.

In response to India’s measures, Pakistan suspended some visas for Indians and closed its side of the border – in reciprocity with New Delhi. It also closed its airspace to Indian airlines and announced the suspension of all bilateral agreements with India.

At least nine injured, including two children, in new US bombings in Yemen

At least nine people, including two children, were injured this Wednesday in a new wave of bombings carried out by the United States against at least four cities in Yemen under the control of the Houthi rebels, reported media affiliated with the Iranian-backed Shiite movement.

Al Masirah, spokesman for the Houthis, reported that at least “seven women and two children were injured in the US attack” in the Al Thawra district of Sana, the capital of Yemen controlled by the insurgents since 2014.

According to the chain, the bombings also targeted “the surroundings of the city of Saada”, north of the capital; the northern town of Hazm, in the governorship of Al Jawf; and a district of the city of Al Bayda, in the center of the country.

At least two missiles hit the capital’s neighborhood of Al Jeraf, on the road that leads to Saná airport, according to EFE.

Large columns of smoke and a large fire could be observed from different points of the city, while ambulance teams and firefighters went to the scene of the attack, which according to witnesses was aimed at a deposit.

Al Masirah added that one of the attacks hit “a celebration hall under construction in a residential neighborhood in the Al Thawra district” and, in Al Jawf, destroyed a farm and killed several head of cattle.

This new wave of bombings came minutes after US President Donald Trump warned that Iran must completely and immediately cease its support for the Houthis, not just reduce it, and threatened the latter that they will be “completely annihilated” if the attacks against Israel and the Red Sea do not cease.

The Republican leader estimated on his social network, Truth Social, that “tremendous damage” has already been inflicted on the Houthis and stressed that “the situation will progressively worsen.”

At the weekend, the United States began a series of airstrikes against different cities controlled by the Houthis in northern and central Yemen, as well as in the capital, Saná, bombings that resulted in more than fifty deaths.
