Founded in London in 1851, REUTERS is now the World's Best News Agency. For example, the Associated Press, Miami Herald, New York Times, Washington Post, etc., seem obliged to saturate the news with anti-Cuban propaganda while REUTERS actually provides honest and balanced jouralism regarding Cuba, and it includes a bureau on the island well-staffed with world-class journalists and photographers. Thus, here at the end of 2023 REUTERS is providing the article with a fair and balanced report on a Holiday marriage in Havana.
This is a major worldwide REUTERS article from Havana to close out the Year of 2023. The caption for the photo above says: "Daniley, 21, and Reininier, 27, Celebrate Their Wedding on His Electric Motorcyle. Photos by REUTERS/Alexandre Meneghini." As usual, with this article from Havana at the End of 2023, REUTERS is fair and balanced and uses two of its top journalists to write the story while their top photographer shows the event to the world.
And so...this year-end story of a special wedding in Havana is truthfully and expertly told and shown to the world by the excellent REUTERS News Bureau stationed in Cuba. Internationally, REUTERS will remain the best source for honest and truthful news from Cuba in 2024 too!!
Actually, it can also be said that, despite its embargoed economic problems associated with the nearby superpower United States, Cuba has sophisticated and modern Radio & Television operations that cover the entire island 24-hours a day.
This was television news anchor Rosy Amaro in Havana last night captioning her "Final Broadcast of 2023."
Then before daybreak today -- December 30th-2023 -- Rosy Amaro was on a bus riding down the ocean highway from Havana to Santiago de Cuba, and there she will be broadcasting from that city this weekend. While on the bus ride today, she posted this photo to show that she is "half-way there."
For the record, this map shows that Havana, on Cuba's northwestern tip, is a long way from Santiago de Cuba, which is on the island's southeastern tip. The distance, as shown above, between Havana and Santiago de Cuba is 538.3 miles and the drive takes 12 hours and 16 miles. While not nearly as well known as Havana, Santiago de Cuba is Cuba's second largest city and, quite historically, it is where Fidel Castro started his Cuban Revolution on July 26th of 1953 by attacking dictator Fulgencio Batista's Moncada Military Barracks.
Totally refurbished with all the attacking bullet marks removed, this is the building that was Batista's Moncada Military Barracks in 1953. It is now an important School Building in Santiago de Cuba.
The three photos directly above were taken this week in Santiago de Cuba by notoble photographer Vladimir Molina. It is a beautiful and historic city that was once Cuba's capital city and, because of its strategic location, it has been widely coveted since it began in 1515. Today it has a vibrant population of about 435,000 and it is very close to the U. S. Military Base at Guantanamo Bay, a plush port that Cuba hopes one day to reclaim if it ever has friendly ties with the United States.
When Fidel Castro died in 2016 at age 90, his ashes were entombed in Santiago de Cuba. As far as the Cuban news media is concerned, January 1st of 2024 will be widely celebrated because it was on January 1st of 1959 that Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution overthrew the Batista dictatorship.
