Elian Gonzalez, 25 years after custody battle, seeks to bridge divide between Cuba and U.S.
Twenty-five years after federal agents stormed a Miami home to seize 5-year-old Elian Gonzalez and return him to Cuba, the now 30-year-old industrial engineer and Cuban National Assembly member reflects on his simple life in Cardenas, his mother's sacrifice and his desire to unite Cubans across the Florida Straits. The fight over custody of Elian Gonzalez ended on April 22, 2000, when heavily armed federal agents raided the Little Havana home of his Miami family. Elian was seized at gunpoint and returned to his father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, who was soon back in Cuba with his 5-year-old son. Today, Elian still lives in the house where he grew up. "I grew up with my family. I grew up with those I had to be with and that makes me very happy," Elian said during a 2023 interview with Liz Oliva Fernandez, an independent Cuban journalist for the U.S.-based media outlet Belly of the Beast. Elian said during the interview that his life is simple, he is married and has a 4-year-old daughter. Her name is Eliz in honor of his mother Elizabeth, who died at sea during the ill-fated attempt to escape from Cuba. "My mother was an excellent mother," Elian said. "She lost her life trying to save me. And looking for a better place to live. She was also a victim of that policy of sanctions against Cuba that makes Cubans want to emigrate." Elian was elected to a seat in the Cuban National Assembly. He represents the city of Cardenas. He says he has never regretted returning to Cuba and that he's led a normal life despite the popularity he gained during the international custody fight that saw protests on the streets of Miami and Cuba. "Oh, I'll never forget that day," said former Miami Mayor Manny Diaz. He was an attorney for Elian's Miami relatives. Diaz fought court battles to keep the boy in the U.S., facing off against then-Attorney General Janet Reno, whose hometown was Miami. Reno knew the passion Elian's story ignited in Miami. "The whole thing became very political." Diaz said. "It took on a life of its own with the family pitted against each other in a very adversarial way that didn't have to be." Liz Oliva Fernandez, the Cuban journalist who interviewed Elian in 2023, said Elian wants to reunite Cubans on both sides of the Florida Straits. You can see the entire interview here at "I really believe he wants to build bridges between Cuba and the United States," Oliva Fernandez said. "I believe he wants to find a balance between the two sides." Elian added that he wants to make sure no other mother risks her life or the life of a child trying to escape conditions in Cuba like his mother did 25 years ago.

'Eclectic' Sussex pub with 'excellent' ales among UK's best to visit in winter
An "eclectic" Sussex pub with a selection of "excellent" local ales has been named among the UK's best to visit in winter. The Horse & Groom in St Leonards was featured in an article from The Guardian. It listed a selection of 10 pubs recommended by readers in terms of cosiness, great drink options and walks to be enjoyed in the surrounding area. In a summary, The Guardian said: "From Cornwall to southern Scotland our tipsters celebrate the joys of a cosy inn on a cold winter's day." The full list of the UK's best winter pubs can be found on The Guardian website here. The Guardian reader Elian made the recommendation of The Horse & Groom due to its decor and drinks selection. They wrote: "Known (lovingly) by regulars as the Doom and Gloom, the Horse and Groom is the oldest pub in St Leonards-on-Sea. "It's your favourite local's favourite local: an eclectic range of odd interlocutors comprised of creative boho types and grumpy blokes (it's a 'talking' pub: no music), excellent local Sussex ales, knackered board games, decor untouched by time. "In the cold months, friends whittle away the time here chatting or scrabbling; conducted best with a port sat near the open fire. "Pints start well below £5 with Harvey's on tap. The bracing seafront with its galleries and restaurants is minutes away on foot." The positive sentiments about The Horse & Groom were shared by visitors, with it having earned a 4.4/5 score on Google Reviews and a 3.5/5 score on Tripadvisor. One person wrote: "Echoing all past, present and future imbibers extolling the genuine "pubness" of H&G. You can engage with the locals at the bar or, choosing to be at a table, left to your own thoughts. All who have spent time here have a special camaraderie. "Added bonus - they emphatically discourage toddlers and accompanying strollers. Nirvana for the adult sector!"

A traditional, local pub. Great beer and traditional set up." A third posted: "Great pub that was a real surprise. A time warp kind of pub that still has the grand charm & atmosphere of bygone times. "Staff very polite & chatty & other guest interesting and friendly. No noisy hideous music which was also a real treat, just being able to talk & be heard."
