Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on January 10, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Humberto Ortega! Another year older, wiser, and still revolutionary—though these days your greatest battles might be against birthday candles rather than dictatorships. Your insightful writings about the Sandinista struggle continue to inspire generations; clearly, your pen remains mightier than any sword (or birthday cake knife).

From toppling dynasties to publishing powerful memoirs, you've certainly kept life interesting. May this birthday bring you as much joy as the day you waved goodbye to Somoza's regime—and may your celebrations be just as legendary. Here's wishing you laughter, good health, and plenty of cake—because even revolutionaries deserve dessert!
