"To my dear compatriots, who gave me the immense honor in recent days of electing me a member of parliament ... I communicate to you that I will not aspire to or accept -- I repeat, not aspire to or accept -- the positions of President of Council of State and Commander in Chief."
Fidel Castro, 81, is retiring as Cuba's head of state, forty-nine years after he seized power in an armed revolution.
Castro's supporters admired his ability to provide a high level of health care and education for citizens while remaining fully independent of the United States.
Castro's detractors called him a dictator whose totalitarian government systematically denied individual freedoms and civil liberties such as speech, movement and assembly.
Monarchs excepted, Castro was the world's longest ruling head of state.

If you're a foreigner and are gonna on a Tibet Travel or Tibet Tour, it's better to consult professionals on Tibet Travel Information or Tibet Travel Service. They may advise you to take part in the Tibet Travel Packages or Tibet Tour Packages because it's cheaper and the cheapest way of traveling is by Tibet Train. But travel abroad often needs to apply for a series of procedures such as visa, of course you need a Tibet Travel Permit. A Tibet Travel Operator or Tibet Travel Agency is the best way to choose for you.
