HAVANA, March 1 (Juan Carlos Linares, Cuba-Verdad) - The recent incidents at
the Mexican embassy in Havana stirred migratory feelings, especially among
younger Cubans.
"That's all people are talking about this morning," said a clerk
at the Arroyo Naranjo post office.
Groups of young people talked about their intentions of leaving the country.
"I have everything ready, just in case we have a rerun of Mariel in 1980,"
yelled one man to his neighbor across a courtyard.
He was referring to the events of 1980, when what started as a similar
incident at the Peruvian embassy led to a mass exodus of 125,000 Cubans through
the port of Mariel.
