Communist Fidel Castro Resignation from Role as President of Cuba
Cuban leader Fidel Castro resigned as Cuba’s president in the wee morning hours on Tuesday after a half-century in power. In a letter published today by online official media sources stated that Castro won’t accept a new term.
Fidel Castro’s letter stated, “I will not aspire nor accept—I repeat I will not aspire or accept—the post of President of the Council of State and Commander in Chief.”
The 81-year-old Castro made his late night announcement and has now effectively ended his 50 year rule over Cuba. Castro’s brother Raul, himself 76 years old is seemingly next in line for succession to the Cuban presidency.
