CUBA
"The situation must change," says former
military officer
Havana, Cuba. January (Jorge Olivera Castillo/www.cubanet.org)
- "The situation must change,"
said a former military officer referring
to the country's political and economic
situations. "Otherwise, we must prepare
for a violent end."
The former officer, who didn't want his
name used, is now 70 and drives a taxi to
make ends meet. Although he doesn't have
the required licenses, he said his credentials
as a retired member of the Revolutionary
Armed Forces still have some clout and allow
him to evade the occasional fine and possible
confiscation of his automobile for using
it in an illegal enterprise.
The former military, who said he had participated
with Cuban forces in conflicts abroad, expressed
disappointment. "I thought my old age
would be different, but I was wrong. The
dreams have become nightmares," he
said.
"The revolutionary process has been
a failure," he said. "Almost half
a century thrown overboard. I think I realized
it too late."
