AFP - Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro on Monday called for an end to the US embargo and said Cuba was not asking for "charity," hours after US President Barack Obama lifted curbs on travel and money transfers by Cuban-Americans.
   
"Not a word was said about the embargo, which is the most cruel of all actions," Castro said in an article published late Monday on the official Cubadebate website in reaction to Obama's decision.
   
"Conditions are such that Obama could use his talents toward a constructive policy that would end what has failed for almost half a century."
