http://kunle.tigblog.org/ What's on the minds of young leaders from around the globe? en-us http://kunle.tigblog.org/post/317785 The question still remains who shall remove the youths from the doldrums of these old men who do not want us to infuse our own ideas into governance?
`The Cuban Communist leader Fidel Castro is just recovering from intestinal surgery. Fidel Castro has been leading Cuba since the Cuban revolution in 1959. In other words, the 81 year old leader has been at the helms of affairs for almost 50 years, almost 5 decades, close to half a century.
Consequently, Cuban people have not experienced a leadership of new ideas, new innovations, diversity and probably dynamism in some recent years. An average young person in Cuba today has had the opportunity to know only one leader.
During his illness, Fidel Castro handed power over to his younger brother Raul, almost 18months ago.
The main issue of discourse is that communist leaders have recently said that they may be backing Fidel Castro's decision to run for parliamentary elections- a prerequisite to remaining president.
Despite his long years of rule, his age and ailing health, should Fidel Castro still run for parliamentary elections? This will obviously be to the detriment of young, able-bodied, innovative, dynamic, pragmatic and resourceful leaders. I think Cuba needs a change in leadership, new people to inject new ideas, views about the political, economic and social standing of Cuba.
