It finally happened.

Fidel Castro has stepped down as President of Cuba.

“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,” said Castro.

Castro’s, Raul, 76, is expected to take his place when the National Assembly meets this Sunday.
