Fidel’s health is improving, says Granma

The health of Fidel Castro is improving after a series of operations, according to an article by him in official Cuban newspaper Granma. As CNN’s Morgan Neill reported:

“Castro said his prolonged recovery from the surgeries was due to the fact that the first operations he underwent were not successful. He also disclosed that during his illness, he received nutrition intravenously, although he said he is no longer doing so.”

Fidel adds that he has not appeared publicly since he doesn’t “have the time” for grooming despite having held several private meetings such as with Hugo Chavez.

Speaking of Cuba, Pablo Bachelet observed a global cleavage on whether or not to strengthen ties with the island.
