What impact will Fidel Castro’s resignation have?


Raul Castro, who has been Cuba’s acting President since July 2006 is the presumed successor of the seasoned leader Fidel Castro. It’s too early to say what will happen to Cuba with Raul in power but for now I don’t see drastic changes in the way Cuba will be run.

Fidel Castro, who has hundreds of human rights violations in his name, survived US pressures, Cold War, trade embargo and CIA backed assassination attempts. His greatest legacy in the world politics is his guts to go against the wishes of the imperial United States.
