The Cuban Embassy in Accra has opened a Book of Condolence for Juan Almeida Bosque, one of the Vice-presidents of the Council of State of Cuba, who died in Havana, Cuba, last Friday. A statement issued in Accra on Tuesday said the Book of Condolence would be open at the Embassy from September 15-17 from 1000 hours to 1200 hours each day. The statement said Juan Almeida Bosque would always be �an emblematic figure of the Cuban Revolution�. It said Almeida, the Commander of the Cuban Revolution, was a direct participant in the first line of combat alongside former President Fidel Castro and President Ra�l Castro, as well as a richly creative musician and writer. The statement said Almeida�s remains would be interred with full military honours in the Mario Mu�oz Monroy Mausoleum of the Third Eastern Front, of which he was the founder and chief, on a date to be announced.
