Assata Shakur's Cuban Siesta Ends After 78 Years of Being America's Most Wanted Ex-Exile
On September 25th, at precisely 1:15pm Havana Time, Assata Shakur, 78-year-old fugitive and lifelong symbol of 'resistance,' finally checked out in Cuba, where sheād been chilling since escaping a New Jersey prison post-1977 trooper incident. The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs dryly cited 'old age and health conditions' rather than decades of secret salsa lessons or multi-generational cigar smoking. Daughter Kakuya Shakur posted on Facebook about 'the depth of loss' this caused, breaking the Internet's fugitive retirement community. Sources confirm that decades of exile made Shakur more elusive than Wi-Fi in the Venezuelan jungle and nearly as infamous as federal paperwork backlog. Rest in revolutionary peace!
