In the later years of his life, particularly after stepping down from official leadership in 2006 due to health issues, Fidel Castro began a new chapter as a writer and commentator on global affairs. He launched a series of reflective and opinionated articles titled “Reflections of Fidel” (Reflexiones de Fidel), which were regularly published in Cuban state media. These writings covered a wide range of topics—from international politics and U.S. foreign policy to environmental concerns, science, and philosophical musings. Through these essays, Castro continued to exert ideological influence, offering guidance to the Cuban people and engaging with global issues long after his retirement from public office.
Castro's articles were often sharp, detailed, and polemical, reflecting his deep interest in geopolitics and his enduring opposition to what he saw as imperialist forces, especially from the United States. Though no longer active in day-to-day governance, he used his platform to critique global leaders, analyze conflicts, and defend socialist values. His writings not only kept him relevant in Cuban political discourse but also served as a record of his intellectual legacy, offering insight into how he viewed the world during his final years. These "Reflections" became a powerful tool for reinforcing the ideological foundations of the Cuban Revolution.
