Last July 27, 2006, Fidel Castro nearly died during an intestinal surgery to stem internal bleeding cause by chronic diverticulitis. More than three years after his nearly death, the former leader soldiers already approached his mortal end and died. The 83-year-old soldier appears to have adjusted to his medically mandated retirement due to body and internal parts complications.

His last appearance was in August 24, 2009 saying to the people that he was so worried about the future of our planet, that is under threat from global warming.

Even the Pentagon has gotten involved,” Castro said. “It has included the climate among things that threaten the security of the United States.”

We are facing events that are very, very, very grave,” said the 83-year-old bearded rebel, who took power in a 1959 revolution and held on to it for 49 years.

Castro has not been seen in public since July 2006, when he underwent intestinal surgery for a still-undisclosed ailment. His health is considered a state secret.  He has appeared in occasional photos and videos since then, but the latest video was the first in some time in which his voice could be heard.

Castro’s untidy leaving has kept the news media in high alert as they formulate and  and reformulate coverage and obituaries.

Famous lines that came from his month in a great interview last 1994 says that “My vocation is the revolution. I am a revolutionary, and revolutionaries do not retire.”
