50 years of revolution in Fidel Castro's Cuba
卡斯特罗领导的古巴革命走过50年



Fifty years after Fidel Castro led a band of rebels to victory over a US-backed dictator, his revolution goes on, Cuba firmly in its grip, in what some view as a triumph and others a tragedy

Fidel Castro was 32 when he took power on January 1, 1959. Now a sick old man, many of his fellow Cold War leaders have died and Communism has almost disappeared around the world

Yet Cuba's revolution continues and despite the desperate hopes of exiles on the other side of the Florida Straits, people on the Caribbean island see no end to its rule

Fidel Castro, 82, has not been seen in public since undergoing intestinal surgery in July 2006, but is still thought to wield considerable power

Castro began the Cuban revolution with a failed attack on the Moncada Barracks, Santiago de Cuba, in 1953, for which he was incacerated

After fleeing to Mexico to plan the revolution, Castro returned to Cuba aboard a yacht and was reunited with Raul (bottom) and Ernesto Che Guevara (top, second left)

By the time the '26th of July movement', headed by Castro, had arrived in Cuba in 1959, the country's dictator Fulgencio Batista, had been in power for seven years

Batista had organised a military coup, the 'sergeants' revolt', in 1933 and became president. In 1952, he overthrew President Prio Socorras and ruled as dictator until he was overthrown on January 1, 1959

Fidel Castro and his rebels were greeted by ecstatic crowds when they rolled into Havana after chasing Batista from power

The bitterness generated in those early years never went away as Castro opponents fled to Miami, unsuccessfully plotted his demise and waited in vain for the long-standing US trade embargo against the island to topple him

"History will absolve me," Castro said in a famous 1953 courtroom speech as Batista tried to end his rebellion by jailing him, but there is little agreement on his legacy

As the 50th anniversary of the revolution approaches and the government prepares modest celebrations for next week, Cubans are divided on whether it has all been worth it

To supporters, Castro threw off the yoke of tyranny and brought economic justice and benefits such as free education and health care for all
