Cuba Faces Severe Energy Crisis as Protests Erupt Amid Fuel Shortages
Cuba is grappling with a dire energy crisis as its national grid collapses, plunging the country into darkness and sparking widespread protests. Experts warn that the situation is critical, exacerbated by U.S. sanctions that have severely restricted fuel imports. The government announced that it has run out of oil and diesel, leading to major blackouts and essential services being disrupted, including healthcare. Demonstrations have erupted across Havana in response to the unprecedented power cuts and fuel shortages, with citizens expressing desperation as their daily lives are increasingly affected. The Cuban regime faces mounting pressure both from within and external forces, raising questions about its stability in the midst of this crisis.
