The End of Castro

August 9th, 2006 - Tags: Fidel Castro

Fidel Castro will probably die soon. He was hospitalized for mysterious reasons last week, and his brother, Raul Castro, was sworn in as acting president of the country.

Assuming he passes away sometime in the next little while, Castro will have served as Cuba’s dictator for 46 straight years. He was the world’s third-longest serving head of state, after Queen Elizabeth and the King of Thailand. As you can see on this chart I made.
