I remember speaking with an older guy who lived through the transition from Batista to Castro in 1959. He said that once it was obvious that Castro was going to be the new leader, it sparked and unfathomable panic in the streets of Havana, and people were scrambling to get out. I noticed when I was speaking with him, I saw an expression on his face that was equivalent to what veterans refer to as "the thousand-yard stare." He remembers literally being scared to death, but he made it out but had to leave his brother and sister behind because he couldn't find them in the crowd. He never heard from them again and tried every day to find out about them once he was settled in the United States. I imagine Brazil is going through the very same thing as we speak.

No, they seem to be fighting back.
