Castro may not have killed Che physically...but he killed Che to the Cuban public.
Before Che's death...Castro read the final letter Che wrote, in the event of his demise. Che, while still living in the Congo, was shocked to learn that Castro delivered the speech to Cubans knowing fully well Che was alive, and still leading a guerilla fight.
In my honest opinion, Castro knew he had to get rid of Che if he wanted his way with most things. Putting Che in charge of banks n' stuff was just one way Castro did so. Che hated the fact that the world revolved around money....so why was it that Che was at one point the leader of banks?
It may have been a backed CIA operative within the Congo that closed in on Che, and Sgt. Teran who fired the fatal blow, but I believe that Castro knew fully well that Che was going to die...yet did nothing about it.
Che was good for the Cuban revolution...but if he wanted to do things abroad, that was of no concern to Castro anymore. Once Fidel was in power, Che was useless to him, but he supported Che as a friend.
no
what happened with that final farewell was
che accidently pissed of the soviets and they had a minor dispute, che saw what he had done and he also said he had done all he could for the revolution, he then told fidel he would be of more help in south america, where he would alert the people there and recruit people
Fidel understood and that was the last they saw eachother
