Summary
Raúl Castro, Cuba’s former president, made a rare public appearance at his 95th birthday celebration, showcasing unity and defiance as the U.S. unsealed an indictment accusing him of ordering the 1996 shootdown of two civilian planes. President Miguel Diáz-Canel praised Castro’s legacy and warned of a strong response to any U.S. invasion threats, rallying the nation around the slogan “Raúl is Raúl.” Despite retiring in 2021, Castro’s influence remains potent as U.S. pressure escalates, including oil cutoffs that worsen Cuba’s crises, while both sides insist their positions are justified.
