All through my life, I have known about the reign that Fidel Castro has over Cuba. It is hard for me (living in the US) to understand how it is to live under a dictatorship, but I always knew that as long as Castro lives, Cubans would have to live in this style of government.

Late last night, Castro announced that he is stepping down because of his ailing health. His brother will be taking charge.

I would like to see a better connection between US and Cuba, but I know that this will not happen until Castro and everyone with similar beliefs are no longer in power. It will be interesting to see what unfolds in the time to come.
