Rare protests erupt in Cuba as blackouts deepen and US aid offer adds political pressure | DW News
Power outages across Cuba have triggered an unusual sight: open protests in the streets of Havana.
Demonstrations are rare on the communist-run island, but after more than 24 hours without electricity, hundreds are venting their anger over worsening blackouts and fuel shortages.
As the crisis deepens, Washington has offered aid — but only under specific conditions — putting Cuba’s leadership under pressure and raising questions about how far it is willing to compromise.
