(CNN) -- Fidel Castro announced his resignation as president of Cuba and commander-in-chief of Cuba's military on Tuesday, according to a letter published in the state-run newspaper, Granma.

Castro, 81, temporarily handed power to his younger brother Raul Castro in July 2006 after undergoing intestinal surgery. He hasn't been seen in public since his surgery, but he has appeared in numerous videos and photos in state media.

In December 2007, a Cuban television news anchor read a letter reportedly written by Fidel Castro promising he would not "cling to office" or be an impediment to rising young leaders. Castro rose to power in 1959.

Been a long time coming. Sorta expected that he'd step down when he was hospitalised.

So, after 49 years, an idiotic embargo, countless dollars spent on ousting him, age is the only thing that manages to get rid of him.

And I expect this will be trumpteted as a decisive victory of the West over the Tyrranical Communazis Cuba?

Good job chaps.

anyway, when Fidel dies is he going to be worshipped like Kim Il-Sung in north korea? :D
Loser, i don't support him because he is a communist. Actually on the contrary, i support him as he stepped up and defended his people from the evil that tried to occupy his country. Long live Castro
