The News About Castro’s Resignation


Fidel Castro, who ruled Cuba as it’s President for almost 50 years, announced Tuesday that he will not aspire to nor accept the post of President of the Council of State and Commander in Chief of Cuba.

The 81-year-old Cuban ruler has seen 10 U.S. Presidents come and go all of which have tried and failed to end his rule. The Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 under President Kennedy was the most famous and most ambiguous. It brought us to the brink of a nuclear war.

Fidel Castro’s brother, Raul who is 76 years old is expected to succeed him as President of Cuba. The U.S. had hoped to see a transition of Cuba from a communist country to a democratic one, but it doesn’t look like that will happen.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.
