Fidel Castro Resigns as Commander-in-Chief
On 24 February 2008, the Cuban National Assembly of People’s Power unanimously voted Raúl Castro Ruz, Fidel Castro’s brother, as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces. In a 19 February 2008 letter, Cuban leader Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz announced that he would not accept the positions of President and Commander-in-Chief at that month’s National Assembly meetings.
Before Fidel Castro's decision to resign, in May 2007, following his recovery from intestinal bleeding, United States’ President George W. Bush said: “One day the good Lord will take Fidel Castro away”. The unswerving revolutionary Castro replied: “Now I understand why I survived Bush’s plans and the plans of other presidents who ordered my assassination: the good Lord protected me”.
