"Sanctions are literally killing people right now. We understand what this oil embargo means, and [what] sanctions have always meant. This is regime change through starvation."
"Cuba plunged into an island-wide blackout, leaving millions of people without power after the national electricity grid completely collapsed Monday. This was at least the third and the largest blackout to hit Cuba in just about four months, as the U.S. energy blockade has cut off the island from accessing desperately needed fuel."
"Cubans have fought for sovereignty many, many times. And they're not going to just sort of lie there while this is happening."
Cuba experienced a complete island-wide blackout after its electrical grid collapsed, marking the third major outage in four months. The crisis stems from a U.S. energy blockade that has prevented oil shipments from reaching the island for over three months. Decades of U.S. sanctions have already created severe humanitarian conditions. Cuban journalist Daniel Montero characterizes the situation as regime change through starvation, while Trump administration negotiators have demanded the removal of President Miguel Díaz-Canel. Historian Sara Kozameh notes Cubans have historically fought for sovereignty and will not passively accept these circumstances.
