It’s official—Fidel Castro is no longer the president of Cuba. He stepped down Tuesday, after posting a letter to the state-run newspaper Granma. He cited “critical health condition” as his reason for stepping down. For those watching Castro the past few years, this reason shouldn’t come as a surprise. After having intestinal problems and subsequent treatment in 2006, Castro handed over much of his power to his brother Raúl.
