FROM CUBA
Anti-government slogan on cemetery wall

SANTA CLARA, July 27 (Belkis Rodríguez Bravo / Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org) - An unknown but imaginative wag in Santa Clara exhorted visiting Cuban president Fidel Castro to make himself at home. Problem is, he painted his message on the front wall of the local cemetery.

The graffiti was discovered in the early morning of July 26, when Castro was expected in Santa Clara for anniversary ceremonies of his revolution.

The sign, written in red in block letters, read: "Welcome, Fidel. Make this your home." The slogan has been quite common in Cuban homes since the inception of Castro's rule.

Police and security operatives went to work quickly to eradicate the graffiti as soon as it was discovered, but not before townspeople flocked to the site to take a look. One anonymous voice in the crowd of onlookers said even the cemetery would not want him for all the pain and suffering he has caused Cubans.
