What happened
Cuba's capital, Havana, is grappling with severe resource constraints, including extended and unpredictable electricity blackouts that can last hours or days. These outages are reported to be exacerbated by an oil blockade imposed earlier in the year. Meanwhile, the United States continues a pressure campaign against the island's government, with officials discussing plans for regime alteration in Havana.
Why it matters
The ongoing US pressure campaign and associated blockades are contributing to severe energy shortages in Havana. These shortages force residents to compress essential daily tasks into brief, unpredictable windows of power, impacting the rhythm of life and basic operations.
