Cubans Remember Camilo Cienfuegos
The Cuban people on Monday will remember Commander Camilo Cienfuegos, founder of the Rebel Army and one of the main figures linked to the triumph of the Revolution, who would be celebrating his 80th birthday.
Children, youths and people in general will stage a solemn gala to honor the Army Rebel commander at his birth house in Lawton neighborhood, in Havana, on February 6, 1932.
Camilo was one of the 82 men on the Granma Yacht who landed in eastern Cuba on December 2, 1956. The objective of the expedition was to start an armed uprising and overthrow Dictator Fulgencio Batista.
The extent of his courage and heroic actions as a Rebel Army member earned him recognition and respect from his comrades in arms, including Ernesto Che Guevara, who described him as "the most brilliant man of all guerrilla fighters."
