U.S. President Barack Obama shook the hand of Cuban President Raul Castro at a memorial for Nelson Mandela on Tuesday, a rare gesture between the leaders of two nations at loggerheads for more than half a century.

With Mandela\'s message of reconciliation hanging over the ceremony, Castro smiled as Obama shook his hand on the way to the podium to make a rousing speech in memory of the former South African president, one of the world\'s greatest peacemakers, who died on Thursday aged 95.

The U.S. and Cuba have recently taken small steps toward rapprochement, raising hopes the two nations could be on the verge of a breakthrough in relations. But skeptics caution that the two countries have shown signs of a thaw in the past, only to fall back into old recriminations.

Myanmar (Burma) Action: Free Aung San Suu Kyi and All Political Prisoners Now!

This year\'s Get on the Bus once again will feature an action in support of the Burmese people and their struggle for democracy, justice, and respect for human rights. The military rulers of Myanmar (Burma) have jailed thousands of people in their continuing efforts to crush all dissenting views. Amnesty International estimates that 2,100 political prisoners currently are being held by the military government. Most prominent of those detained is Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate who has been the beacon of hope and change for nearly two decades in Myanmar, the Southeast Asian nation formerly known as Burma.

Aung San Suu Kyi co-founded the National League for Democracy (NLD), a pro-democracy political party that sought to counter the military junta that had reigned over Myanmar since 1962. In 1990, the NLD won almost 80 percent of the parliamentary seats in a general election. Surprised at the landslide victory, the military junta refused to transfer power to Aung San Suu Kyi and the NLD, and jailed scores of political activists.

For 14 of the past 20 years, Aung San Suu Kyi (pronounced \

CCTV Africa Even in the pandemonium, customers begin to piece together the most basic details. "These are terrorists," says a man, peering through door window as someone else tries to hush him. "They think they are terrorists." The attack on the upscale mall began on Saturday, and a standoff lasted into Sunday. CANADIAN DIPLOMAT KILLED IN KENYA MALL ATTACKS Shoppers scrambled, racing away from the sound of gunfire as attackers raided the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. Kenya's military said Sunday it had rescued "most" of the remaining hostages held by a group of militants linked to al Qaeda. Military forces made their move shortly before sundown on Sunday as two helicopters circled the mall. A military spokesman told the Associated Press said some of the attackers were probably killed during the operation, but he declined to say how many people hostages may remain. The Westgate is a popular stop for foreigners living and working in Nairobi. Shoppers wandered casually among the coffee shops and boutiques before the rebels attacked with grenades and assault rifles. Gunshots followed one after another, erupting in small clusters as the shoppers ran.

U.S. President Barack Obama shook the hand of Cuban President Raul Castro at a memorial for Nelson Mandela on Tuesday, a rare gesture between the leaders of two nations at loggerheads for more than half a century. With Mandela's message of reconciliation hanging over the ceremony, Castro smiled as Obama shook his hand on the way to the podium to make a rousing speech in memory of the former South African president, one of the world's greatest peacemakers, who died on Thursday aged 95. The U.S. and Cuba have recently taken small steps toward rapprochement, raising hopes the two nations could be on the verge of a breakthrough in relations. But skeptics caution that the two countries have shown signs of a thaw in the past, only to fall back into old recriminations. "We have to be creative and we have to be thoughtful and we have to continue to update our policies," he said at a fundraiser in Florida last month, noting that Fidel Castro came to power more than half a century ago. "I think we all understand that ultimately, freedom in Cuba will come because extraordinary activists and the incredible courage of folks like we see here today," he said. "But the United States can help." (with agencies)

Myanmar (Burma) Action: Free Aung San Suu Kyi and All Political Prisoners Now! This year's Get on the Bus once again will feature an action in support of the Burmese people and their struggle for democracy, justice, and respect for human rights. The military rulers of Myanmar (Burma) have jailed thousands of people in their continuing efforts to crush all dissenting views. Amnesty International estimates that 2,100 political prisoners currently are being held by the military government. Most prominent of those detained is Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate who has been the beacon of hope and change for nearly two decades in Myanmar, the Southeast Asian nation formerly known as Burma. Aung San Suu Kyi co-founded the National League for Democracy (NLD), a pro-democracy political party that sought to counter the military junta that had reigned over Myanmar since 1962. In 1990, the NLD won almost 80 percent of the parliamentary seats in a general election. Surprised at the landslide victory, the military junta refused to transfer power to Aung San Suu Kyi and the NLD, and jailed scores of political activists. For 14 of the past 20 years, Aung San Suu Kyi (pronounced "Awng Sahn Soo Chee") has endured time in jail, unofficial detention, house arrest and restrictions on her movement. She continues to be held under house arrest in Yangon. Amnesty International seeks the immediate and unconditional release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all prisoners of conscience in Myanmar.
