Fidel Castro, the leader of Cuba's 1959 revolution who led the communist country for decades has died at the age of 90.
"The commander in chief of the Cuban revolution died at 22:29 hours this evening," President Raul Castro, his brother, announced on national television.
Both loved as a hero and hated as a dictator, Castro is one of the giant figures of modern history.
He defied 10 US presidents during his 48 years in power, but in the decade since he stepped aside Cuba has become a different world. His sworn foe, the United States, is no longer officially Cuba's enemy.
