[quote] March 2 (Bloomberg) -- Cuban President Raul Castro replaced key members of his government, including his cabinet chief, about a year after taking control of the communist country from his brother, Fidel Castro.

The president named Brigadier General Jose Amado Ricardo Guerra as the new cabinet chief, replacing Carlos Lage Davila, according to a statement posted today on the Web site of the state-run Juventud Rebelde newspaper. He also merged some ministries in a bid to increase efficiency.

A changing of the guard in Cuba is noticable in my mind. Could have jumped the gun, though.
