Fidel Castro calls for return of Guantanamo Bay
Fidel Castro threw his first punch at President Barack Obama after several weeks of praise for the new leader, demanding the US return Guantanamo Bay military base to Cuba and criticising the US defence of Israel.
Mr Castro’s latest essay, published on an official website, came one week after he called Mr Obama “intelligent and noble” and said he would cut back on his writings to prevent interfering with Cuban government decisions.
