Castro Steps Down
After almost 50 years in power, Fidel Castro resigned as president of Cuba. In 2006, he stepped aside from power because of health problems, temporarily leaving the leadership of the island to his brother, Raul. But now, he has resigned permanently, arguing that he is no longer able to keep up with the duties of the presidency.
