Fidel Castro, the leader of Cuba announced his retirements today after ruling the country for almost half a century.
The ailing Cuban leader who is recovering from his stomach surgery is 81 years old. His retirements welcomed by US president George W. Bush who certainly is less popular than the Fidel.
Most likely his brother and currently Defense Minister of Cuba, Raul Castro will succeed him who is around the same age! Just 76 years old!
In his letter of resignation Fidel has said:
"To my dear compatriots, who gave me the immense honor in recent days of electing me a member of parliament ... I communicate to you that I will not aspire to or accept -I repeat not aspire to or accept- the positions of president of the Council of State and commander-in-chief"
Like him or hate him, Fidel Castro has been one of the world most charismatic leaders. His long speeches which have been most of the times against US Presidents are really famous.
And at the end of the day, here, I hope a better days for all Cuban in future.
