How The World Reacts To Fidel Castro's Death

in #news8 years ago (edited)

2 Days ago, Fidel Castro died at age 90.
He was the former leader of Cuba's Revolution, and led Cuba for 50 years.

Some say that he was a cruel dictator, others say he was a hero of the people.

While many people in cuba are actually grieving, the cuban exile community in florida is celebrating his death. 

There are lots of different opinions about him, so how did the world react to his death ? 


Barack Obama:


Donald Trump:


Russian President Putin:

"... He was symbol of an era in recent world history, a  sincere and reliable friend of Russia. He built a free and independent Cuba..." 


Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:

"...A legendary revolutionary and orator, Mr. Castro made significant  improvements to the education and health care of his island nation.""


British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson:

"Fidel Castro's death marks the end of an era for Cuba & the start of a new one for Cuba's people"


French President Francois Hollande:

"... Heembodied the Cuban revolution, with the hopes it aroused and then in the  disillusion it provoked. Actor of the Cold War, he corresponded to an  era which ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union."



What is YOUR opinion about Fidel Castro's death - was he a dictator and murderer, or hero of his nation?
