Fidel Castro Dead...

Fidel Castro, Cuba's former president and leader of the Communist revolution, has died aged 90, state TV has announced. It provided no further details. Fidel Castro ruled Cuba as a one-party state for almost half a century before handing over the powers to his brother Raul in 2008. His supporters praised him as a man who had given Cuba back to the people. But his opponents accused him of brutally suppressing opposition

BBC

I guess this means his brother Raul will now "officially" be in power.

Here's a tweet fromm CNN:

No worries, it's popping up everywhere. CNN has it wrong per usual

I'll bet you pennies to the pound they'll bury him with a box of Cuban Cigars.

Raul has been in power since 2006.

a reply to: ThePublicEnemyNo1

Yes, Fidel has reportedly died. Why are you linking to a source from February about Ramon?

I thought he was already dead..

a reply to: JinMI

OMG. Which is it?

Fox just said Fidel, but CNN says his brother????

And they talk about fake news?

Damn.

H W Bush is outliving all his enemies.

For real this time, looks like it with all the posts and news! Or maybe: Mandala Effect again?!

I think in haste, the OP linked CNNs older story on the brother.

a reply to: ThePublicEnemyNo1

I was watching a docu on JFK last night and i thought- wow, Fidel Castro has outlived all of his enemies and still going. Now he's gone.
He definitely made an impact on history.

Yes, but not officially by US standards.

a reply to: ThePublicEnemyNo1

That story is from February, it does look like todays story is that Fidel has died too.

a reply to: AdmireTheDistance

I didn't notice it was from February. My apology.

Nonetheless, he's dead.

a reply to: ThePublicEnemyNo1

even better

a reply to: ThePublicEnemyNo1

I think you've still time to fix the OP should you choose to.

I agree, I think Fidel could have been his last enemy.
