Latin Americans Pay Homage to Che Guevara in Bolivia
By Redaction AHORA / Thursday, 09 October 2008 /
[email protected]Cuban-Argentinean guerrilla fighter Ernesto Che Guevara did not shed his blood in vain, since many nations of the world are currently following the path he drew towards equality and social justice.
The statement was issued by Bolivian President Evo Morales during a visit Tuesday, to the community of Vallegrande, where Che Guevara was assassinated on October 9, 1967.
The small locality of “La Higuera”, in Valle Grande, is the scenario for central commemorations Wednesday for the 41st anniversary of the assassination of the Cuba-Argentinean guerrilla fighter.
Representatives of Bolivian organizations and of the Cuban and Venezuelan collaboration missions in that country will gather at the historic place, where a ceremony will include presentations of masters’ degrees by Cuban doctors, while several members of the collaboration brigades, working in the fields of health, education and energy, will also be awarded distinctions.
