They may have to wait awhile longer for their party.

Cuban TV shows 'stronger' Castro
Cuban television has shown its first pictures for three months of ailing
leader Fidel Castro.  

Mr Castro, 80, was seen standing during a meeting with Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez, which was said to have taken place on Monday. 

He appeared frail but stronger than three months ago. 

Mr Castro has not been seen in public since undergoing gastric surgery
in July, prompting speculation that he had cancer or was terminally
ill. 

The pictures show Mr Castro joking with Mr Chavez and saying: "As I have
said, this is far from being a lost battle." 

Mr Chavez replies that this is a battle that will be won. It had not
been announced that he was in Cuba. 

The BBC's Stephen Gibbs in Havana says that Mr Castro still looks frail
but has recovered noticeably since his last appearance on television in
October. 

Mr Castro's health is treated as a state secret in Cuba. Authorities
will only say that he is recuperating satisfactorily. 

His younger brother Raul has been acting as president since July.
