Fidel Castro, the father of communist Cuba who led the country for nearly half a century, died at the age of 90, Cuban state TV announced.

Cuba’s current president, Raul Castro, announced the death of his brother, The Associated Press reported.

The revolutionary and former president retreated from the public eye in 2006 following emergency surgery for intestinal bleeding. His health problems forced him to temporarily hand power to his younger brother, defense minister Raul Castro, who permanently took his place as president in 2008.
