The eldest son of revolutionary leader Che Guevara, Camilo, died from a stroke on a trip to Venezuela.

Born in the early 1960s, he passionately lived his life to preserve Che's legacy and ensure that his father's timeless words, as well as actions, are remembered worldwide.

When one looks at him or listens to his words, it becomes clear that Camilo Guevara has always unmistakably been his father's son. His look hints at how Che's well-known features would have matured hadn't he been killed in Bolivia at the young age of 40, during the height of his anti-imperialist efforts.

Despite not having any official title, the vocal activist reiterated that any talks between Washington and Havana can only succeed if the US respects Cuban sovereignty, and take out the remaining obstacles that D.C. itself planted, most notably the economic embargo - the longest in human history -and the US navy occupation of Guantánamo Bay.

Who is Che Guevara?

Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, better known as Che Guevara, was born in Rosario Argentina on June 14,1928.

He has earned his nickname from his frequent use of the expression—Che an interjection commonly used in Argentina.

The iconic leader was a theoretician and tactician of guerrilla warfare, a prominent communist figure in the Cuban Revolution, and a guerrilla leader in South America.

Che roamed the world and helped multiple revolutions across Africa and the Arab world with his guerilla tactics and views. 

He also became known for being a staunch fighter against neocolonialism and imperialism.

It is worth noting that the Cuban revolutionary leader supported the Palestinian cause. Guevara's historic visit to Palestinian Gaza in 1959 continues to stand as a token of resilience for liberation and resistance movements in Palestine and the world.

He was executed by the Bolivian army in 1967.

On this occasion, it goes without saying that Che's resistance, integrity, and solidarity are what we are in need of to liberate the oppressed nations, such as Palestine, Yemen, and any country in the world from Western imperialism, colonialism, and military occupation.

Aleida Guevara: "We Must Fight Alongside the Palestinians”

“My father would have always stood on the side of oppressed nations,” said Elaida Guevara, daughter of famed revolutionary Che Guevara on the 54th anniversary of his assassination.

In an interview with Al Mayadeen, Aleida revealed her belief that had her father remained alive, things would have been different in Bolivia and Argentina, as he most assuredly would not have surrendered due to his belief in “fight for the oppressed or die fighting.”

Che’s visit to the Middle East was also recalled, with Aleida describing his conscious realization of the boiling nature of the region due to colonization, the harsh circumstances surrounding its populations, and the endless pressures performed by major powers trying to steal its resources, “notably its oil.”

Linking the current divisions of the Arab world with the Marxist revolutionary’s experience in Cuba, she stressed the importance of “people’s unification”, notably as the sectarian rifts sowed by European colonial powers are dangerously threatening the Arab World’s unity and ability to progress.
