Castro's Reign in Cuba
Castro took the controls from his elder brother, a former Communist revolutionist, Fidel Castro, in 2018 after he fell sick. Fidel Castro led Cuba for over 50 years after ousting dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959, where Raul worked side by side and was the world's third longest-serving head of country, after Britain's Queen Elizabeth and the King of Thailand. Fidel was strongly recognised for playing an important role during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Communist Party had declared that the new Congress would have to work on how to properly deal with political-ideological destruction on social media. The country’s administration will also largely be shaped by Cuba’s alliance with the United States. President Joe Biden had promised to reverse certain sanctions toughened under his predecessor Donald Trump during his election campaign. However, experts believe that Cuba would have to give something back in human rights reforms.Monika Walker is a senior journalist specializing in regional and international politics, offering in-depth analysis on governance, diplomacy, and key global developments.
