West Belfast Remember Che Guevara

Ógra Shinn Féin West Belfast activists were involved in the planning of one the biggest commeration event to rember the life and times of Che Guevara ever held in Belfast. The event was attended by up to 1000 people all dedicating themselves to aspire to 'Be like Che'.


Ógra activists paid their tribute by reading out a letter that Che had wrote to Fidel before leaving for Bolivia flanked by 2 young activists carrying the July 26th movement flag and the Cuban national flag. After the reading, the flags took pride of place next to the tri colour.
After the reading the Cuban ambassador to Ireland made a special point of thanking the young Ógra activists for the planning of the event and for their generous acts of solidarity.

I wonder was anyone there actually aware of who Che Guevara was? i.e. that he was no hero but was in fact a murderer who executed many people without charge nor trial? Not exactly a role model.
And really, people actually aspire to being communist?
