Cuba still in the dark, blackouts deepening the crisis

Cuba continues to face severe electricity shortages, exacerbating an ongoing energy crisis. Officials attribute recent blackouts to a failure in the transmission system, causing a chain reaction across the power grid. The situation has worsened public frustration, particularly in major cities where multiple daily outages disrupt daily life. Residents describe the challenges of living without reliable electricity, including difficulties with cooking, transportation, and medical services. The crisis is compounded by fuel shortages, with Cuba producing only 40% of its required fuel and facing continued U.S. sanctions under Donald Trump's policies. In response, Cuban authorities have adopted economic reforms aimed at increasing private sector involvement and improving state enterprise autonomy, drawing inspiration from China and Vietnam.
