“Freedom,” yelled the demonstrators on the streets of Havana on Sunday. There were protests against the government across Cuba. Thousands vented their frustration with current politics. “We are here because of the repression against the people, they are starving us. Havana is collapsing. We have no house, we have nothing, but they have money to build hotels, they are starving us.” People chanted anti-government slogans and made various demands, from vaccines against the coronavirus to an end to daily blackouts. Security forces vehicles patrolled the streets armed with machine guns. Communist President Miguel Diaz-Canel blamed the United States for the unrest in a nationally televised speech on Sunday afternoon: the protests were orchestrated by the United States through social media platforms and “mercenaries” in Cuba. He warned that further “provocations” would not be tolerated. The communist-led country has been experiencing a worsening economic crisis for the past two years, with the government blaming mostly US sanctions and the pandemic.
