🇨🇺💬💥 — A resident of Havana shares her harrowing experience amidst prolonged blackouts and the desperation gripping Cuba:

“Good morning, my dear. I haven’t been able to communicate with anyone for days, precisely because of the situation here in Cuba. Since Thursday, they cut off our electricity at 9 in the morning and restored it at 6 in the evening. Well, that’s fine. But then on Friday, they cut it off at 11 in the morning and we didn’t get it back until today at 5:05 in the morning.

Sixty-six hours straight without power. It’s been total chaos. Phones without charge, no connection, they shut down the internet because that pig, Marrano, said that the uproar and popular discontent was caused by the misuse of social media, not because they’re a bunch of bastards; no, no.

So, no connection, no communication, nothing. You can’t imagine the desperation of everyone: food going bad, a total collapse. Not even the emergency generators in the clinics were working. People were paying 250, 300 pesos just to charge their phones for a little bit anywhere that had a generator. People took to the streets, but the police, you know… So, my dear, this is unbearable. I hope all is well with you, and I wish you a good week.”
