Water can get boring, so keep a variety of clear liquids on hand. On the day before your colonoscopy â when you're restricted to clear liquids â you can have popsicles, Jell-O, clear broth, coffee or tea (without milk or creamer), soft drinks, Italian ice, or Gatorade. But take nothing with red, blue, or purple dye.
Guantanamo Bay: violence, hunger strikes and protests. Violent clashes, hunger strikes and growing calls for its closure â what is happening in Guantanamo Bay, three years after its promised closure? At the weekend, following months of increased tensions at the Cuban prison camp, detainees attacked their guards with makeshift weapons.
The history of US control of Guantanamo Bay Cuba goes back to the beginning of the 20th century and the struggle for Cuban independence. In 1903 the US Platt amendment imposed on the nascent government of Cuba that Guantanamo Bay be seceded to the US government as a pre condition to Cuban independence. Ever since 1903, Guantanamo Bay has remained under US military control and is considered to be US territory upon which Cubans cannot enter.
