Castro Yields Power Temporarily to Younger Brother
Citizens of Cuba are waiting for news about the health of President Fidel Castro after he relinquished power for the first time in nearly 50 years of rule. The Cuban leader's spokesman read a statement Monday saying the handover is temporary. The statement says Mr. Castro had surgery for gastrointestinal bleeding brought on by stress and he will rest for the next few weeks.
His brother and designated successor Raul Castro will assume presidential powers and lead Cuba's Communist Party.
In the U.S., Cuban exiles in Miami (Florida) are celebrating the news of the Cuban president's illness by dancing in the streets of the city's Little Havana neighborhood.
Fidel Castro turns 80 later this month. He has appeared increasingly frail in recent years and is rumored to have Parkinson's disease.
