Raul served as Cuba’s president from 2008 to 2018 and remains a prominent elder statesman; Fidel Castro passed away in 2016. If you’re looking for the very latest developments, please check reputable outlets for any recent public appearances, statements, or policy shifts.

Context and background

• Fidel Castro’s later public activity was extremely limited after his 2006 illness and official retirement in 2008; he passed away in November 2016, marking the end of an era for Cuba’s leadership transition to Raul Castro and, subsequently, Miguel Díaz-Canel.[10]
