Today on September 1st in 2026 reports in both Havana and Miami have reported that 95-year-old Raul Castro has suffered a stroke and is gravely ill. Back in May, as the United States severely tightened its already punitive sanctions on Cuba, the U. S. indicted Raul Castro for the murders of four Miami residents regarding a controversial incident in the Caribbean Sea between Miami and Havana thirty years ago. Raul Castro and his older brother Fidel Castro started the Cuban Revolution against US-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista on July 26, 1953, and successfully ended their Revolution on January 1st in 1959. Fidel died at age 90 in Havana in 2016.
