PETER KOENIG: Ernesto “Che” Guevara was born in Rosario, Argentina, on
14 June 1928 and was assassinated in Higuera, Bolivia, by CIA-led
Bolivian forces on 9 October 1967. It
was a summary execution – no trial, no questions asked – 50 years ago.
What has changed in 5 decades? – At the surface, one might say – not
much. The world is still divided between the capitalist, neocolonialist
west and the much more visionary and peaceful east.
