"The commander in chief of the Cuban revolution died at 22:29 hours this evening (03:29 GMT Saturday)," he said. "Towards victory, always!" he added, using a revolutionary slogan.There is to be several days of national mourning on the island.Barring the occasional newspaper column, Fidel Castro had essentially been retired from political life for several years.
In April, Fidel Castro gave a rare speech on the final day of the country's Communist Party congress."I'll soon be 90," the former president said, adding that this was "something I'd never imagined". "Soon I'll be like all the others, "to all our turn must come," Fidel Castro said.

Castro was the longest serving non-royal leader of the 20th Century.He temporarily handed over power to his brother in 2006 as he was recovering from an acute intestinal ailment. Raul Castro officially became president two years later.
News of his death left some in Havana stunned. "I always said it couldn't be," said one woman, a government employee. "Even though they said it now, I say it can't be."
Throughout the Cold War, Fidel Castro was a thorn in Washington's side.An accomplished tactician on the battlefield, he and his small army of guerrillas overthrew the military leader Batista in 1959 to widespread popular support. Within two years of taking power, he declared the revolution to be Marxist-Leninist in nature and allied the island nation firmly to the Soviet Union.

Yet, despite the constant threat of a US invasion as well as the long-standing economic embargo on the island, Castro managed to maintain a communist revolution in a nation just 90 miles (145km) off the coast of Florida. Despised by his critics as much as he was revered by his followers, he outlasted 10 US presidents and survived scores of attempts on his life by the CIA.
How has the world reacted?Latin American leaders have been quick to pay tribute.
Mexican President Enrique said Castro was a "great friend" of Mexico, while to El Salvador's President Sanchez he was an "eternal companion".
Venezuela's President Maduro said "revolutionaries of the world must follow his legacy".
The Soviet Union's last leade Gorbachev said: "Fidel stood up and strengthened his country during the harshest American blockade, when there was colossal pressure on him".

Vladimir Putin described him as a "reliable and sincere friend" of Russia.
For French President Hollande Castro embodied Cuba's revolution in both its "hopes" and its later "disappointments".
