Fidel Castro indicated in an online column that he doubts he will make it to the end of President Obama’s first term, and he instructed Cuban officials to make decisions without taking him into account.
The 82-year-old Cuban leader said Cuban officials “shouldn’t feel bound by my occasional reflections, my state of health or my death.”
“I have had the rare privilege of observing events over such a long time. . . . I expect I won’t enjoy that privilege in four years, when Obama’s first presidential term has ended,” he wrote.
