The birthday celebrations for the retired leader of Cuba, Fidel Castro began on Friday night with a free concert beside Havana’s seafront Malecon.

The feat earned Castelar, known as “Cueto”, his sixth Guinness record, as certified by a diplomat from the British Embassy in Havana.

He and his team worked 12 hours a day for 10 days to roll the cigar, which is the width of an ordinary one.

Russian Federation and China should not be “subjected to threats of deploying nuclear weapons”, former Cuban President Fidel Castro said in a letter published on his 90th birthday, urging for peace.

Mr Castro thanked Cubans for their tributes on Saturday in a long column carried by state-run media in which the iconic leftist revolutionary also lambasted the US.

“You enjoy deep respect in Russian Federation as an outstanding statesman who devoted his entire life to serving the people of Cuba”, he said.

Obama’s speech during his March trip to Hiroshima was “lacking stature”, sniffed Castro, who previously rapped the president over his March visit to Cuba. “The attack on Nagasaki was equally criminal”, Castro said.

South Africa’s liberation movement, whose victory owed much to Cuba’s military intervention against the apartheid regime’s invasion of Angola, also sang Mr Castro’s praises.

A bull “whose existence was unknown to all the peoples and human beings of this continent”. For a time, many even speculated that he had died and his brother Raul was keeping it a secret for fear that the news might incite a new Cuban Revolution overthrowing the nearly six-decade-old one-party system the Castro brothers have historically controlled.
