"Fidel, leave Bush alone and let there be light"

CIENFUEGOS, October 1, Cuba (Alejandro Tur Valladares, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org) - 

On the night of September 27, as the Cuban government faithful celebrated the anniversary of the creation of the neighborhood watchdog Committees for the Defense of the Revolution 44 years ago, an unknown and probably unknowable number of discontents, under cover of one of the frequent blackouts, made a mockery of the concept by painting anti-government slogans on walls and breaking glass on government storefronts. One graffiti read: "Fidel, leave Bush alone and let there be light".

Cubans have been living under chronic blackouts for months now, and, according to government pronouncements, there is no end in sight, as repairs to the national electrical grid are undertaken.

Persons unknown broke the glass windows on the La Oriental and La Esmeralda stores, and on the butcher shop on 60 Avenue.
