Che in Bolivia1997: 30 years from Ernesto Che Guevara's assassination Che, not because you fell your light is less strong On October 9, 1967, Ernesto Guevara, better known as El Che, was killed shot by Bolivian soldiers and a North American CIA agent. Today, thirty years later, he is admired worldwide by people of different ages and ideologies because of what he did while he was alive. Born in Argentina, he was perhaps the second most important man in Cuban revolution. After the revolution he played very important roles in Cuban reconstruction, as president of the Cuban Central Bank and as Ministry of Industry. Having everything a man could need in Cuba, a family, friends, love from the people, El Che was such an idealist that gave up it all and went to Bolivia, to build a revolution there, and prepared to lose his life fighting for his dream: To make Latin America a better place, with equity and justice. A festival to honour him will take place in different cities around the planet, the first two weeks of October, being the most important Rosario, Argentina (where he was born), La Habana, Cuba and La Higuera and Vallegrande, Bolivia (where he was killed and his rests were found). People from all around the World will visit these cities on October, including famous politicians, writers, and musicians.
