Castro bids farewell cuba

Fidel Castro, the former President of Cuba, passed away on November 25, 2016, at the age of 90. He had been in poor health for several years before his death.

Castro's farewell to Cuba was a significant event, as he was a dominant figure in the country's history and politics for over five decades. He led the Cuban Revolution in 1959, overthrowing the authoritarian government of Fulgencio Batista, and established a socialist government.

In his later years, Castro stepped down as President of Cuba in 2008, but remained the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba until 2011. He was succeeded by his brother Raúl Castro, who continued to lead the country.

Castro's farewell to Cuba was marked by a series of events and tributes, including a state funeral and a national mourning period. He was buried in the Santa Ifigenia Cemetery in Santiago de Cuba, alongside other Cuban revolutionaries.

Castro's legacy is still debated among Cubans and international observers, with some praising his role in establishing a socialist government and others criticizing his authoritarian rule and human rights abuses. However, his passing marked the end of an era in Cuban history, and his legacy continues to shape the country's politics and society today.
