HAVANA (AFP) - 
Cuba's Fidel Castro signaled continued resistance to rapprochement between Washington and Havana, writing in an opinion piece Monday that his country "has no need of gifts" from the United States.
The revolutionary icon and former president, 89, remained out of sight during last week's historic visit to the communist island by US President Barack Obama, seen as an effort to cement the normalization of bilateral relations.
