Marks the end of an era...

HAVANA, Cuba (CNN) -- Although the news that one of the longest-serving leaders in the world was officially stepping down sent ripples around the globe, Fidel Castro's resignation announcement barely registered in Cuba.


Castro, 81, revealed his plans in a letter published in the middle of the night in the online version of Cuba's state-run newspaper, Granma.

"I will not aspire to, nor will I accept the position of president of the council of state and commander in chief," Castro wrote. "I wish only to fight as a soldier of ideas. ... Perhaps my voice will be heard."

the brother is not as charismatic as castro, not sure if he can filly castro's shoes. lots of speculation along the same lines were expressed when castro handed over rule, temporarily, while he was undergoing surgery and treatment.
