Thousands in Cuba are protesting the Communist government as the island faces food shortages and a lack of medicine. One resident said, “I think there is no internet, so people don’t see what’s happening in the country.†NBC News’ Ed Augustin reports on the lack of internet making it harder for demonstrators to voice their complaints.

Omg 😳 this guy is misinformed about the reality in Cuba. There’s no embargo on food and medicines the regime prefer to spend the money instead of in food and medicine in ammunition, police cars, and state of the art gestapo like repression
maybe they have other intentions. Maybe communists are concerned about their people and how much time they spend infront of screens.
I lived there for 16 years of my life 1972-1988. I can establish that Socialism is a total failure!!! There is no freedom, no hope for the future because there is none. There is corruption, they have murdered 18,000 Cubans by firing squads. They have disappeared people without trace. I LIVED THERE!!!
Clear as water “ They cancelled the internet because they don’t want people to see what happens in Cubaâ€ÂÂ
THAT WAS THE MAIN STRATEGY OF CASTRO'S GOVERNMENT FOR MANY YEARS TO MAINTAIN THEIR POWER .THEY KEPT THE COUNTRY ISOLATED FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD ..THERE WAS NOT INTERNET,THERE WAS ONLY TWO TV CHANEL BROCASTING ANTI USA PROPAGANDA ALL DAY UNTILL 12 MIDNIGH..NO INTERNATIONAL RADIO OR TV WAS ALLOWED IN CUBA.. RADIO COMMUNICATION ARE PROHIBITED .IF YOU VISIT CUBA TODAY YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT INMIGRATION SEARCH DESPERATLY FOR ANY ATHENA OR CONMUNICATION EQUIPMENT TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU..CASTROS ALSO PRHOHIBITED INTERACTION WITH TOURISTS ,NO TALKING OR ASKING QUESTIONS TO TOURISTS ABOUT ANYTHING ..IT WAS PROHIBITED FOR CUBANS TO VISIT OTHER COUNTRIES ..IT WAS PROHIBITED TO WEAR CLOTHES WITH USA FLAGS IF YOU DO SO YOU WERE TREATED AS ANTIREVOLUTIONARY OR TRAITOR..IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE ISLAND AND MAINTAIN THESE CRAZY RULES OF PROHIBITIONS, THEY CREATED A HUGE NETWORK OF INFORMANTS IN EVERY SMALL TOWN, IN EVERY CITY OF CUBA . THESE GROUPS ARE ( PCC)= cuban communist party .(CRD )= cometee to defend revolution. UJC= ( young communist union) ALL OF THEM HAD THE TASK TO INFORM POLICE, ARMY OR POLITICIANS OF ANY ACTION OR SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY AGANIST THE GOVERNMENT..THESE INFORMANTS COULD BE YOUR NEIGHBOR OR MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY ..SO IN THAT WAY WAS HARD FOR THE PEOPLE OF CUBA TO UNITE AND GET STRONG ,FINALLY USING THE INTERNET THEY COULD GET TOGETHER AND COMMUNICATE FREELY..THE INFORMANTS COULD NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THIS WAY..FOR THAT BIG REASON THE GOVERNMENT CUT IT OFF IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PROTESTS.
PATRIA Y VIDA 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺
This journalist is afraid to report freely. You can tell he has problems how to report it; and repeatedly the same words of Miguel Diaz-Canel. He's like a communist reporter, otherwise, he will loose his foreign privileges.
Help the Cuban people Biden! The US could easily provide the platform for free non-restricted internet, in Cuba.
We call on US to end economic blockade of Cuba !!!
Socialism is failing and liberals are in denial
To my Cuban brothers. I was brought up in Mexico in the early 60s. I went to Mexican public school and learn Spanish very quickly as a result. I have great feelings towards the Spanish people. I have always wanted to go to Cuba but because of the political situation I was not able to go. when the US placed embargoes on the Cuban people my father flew airplanes from Canada to Cuba filled with chickens and eggs so the people would not starve to death. your people lined up at 4 AM to attempt to get a litre of milk and possibly some chicken beef or pork at stores that sell out in minutes. The communist experiment has not worked. The Cuban people need to take control of the country and make it great again. there is no need for the civilians in Cuba to line up at 4 AM in the morning when you have companies like COSTCO & Home Depot to help you with things that you need in your lives. you have hundreds of thousands of brothers and sisters living in America who want you to raise your living standards as they have been able to do in the US. in order to do that you must petition your government to make changes to allow this to happen. enough is enough. it’s time for Cuba to rise up. there is no need for a violent revolution it’s simply requires the people to say “no moreâ€ÂÂ. you are allowing China to interfere with what you were doing to try to make things better for your country and your people. they are teaching your government how to control the Internet which is an Intercal part of Chinese communism control of the people. you don’t need this Cuba. Open up your doors make concessions with the US get rid of the embargoes and watch your country grow. tourism will bring thousands and thousands of jobs to the Cuban people. companies like COSTCO & HOME DEPOT Will also provide excellent employment throughout Cuba. The world wants to come to Cuba. you are in the Caribbean add the tourists from colder climates want to come there and spend money and enjoy their holidays. this can only be a win-win situation for the Cuban people! do what you have to do peacefully in order to attain these goals. The Cuban people deserve much more than their communist government has given them over the past 50 years. if you are able to access Wi-Fi watch these two videos of a Cuban recently from Cuba who comes to America and is taken to Home Depot and COSTCO. when he sees the abundance of food at Costco he begins to cry. He wishes he was able to buy those products…the beef the pork the chicken the butter the milk for his children back in Cuba. …Cuban at Home Depot… https://youtu.be/TLsscvpsH8E

A mis hermanos cubanos. Me crié en México a principios de los 60. Fui a una escuela pública mexicana y aprendàespañol muy rápido como resultado. Tengo grandes sentimientos hacia los españoles. Siempre quise ir a Cuba pero por la situación polÃÂÂtica no pude ir. cuando Estados Unidos impuso embargos al pueblo cubano, mi padre voló aviones de Canadá a Cuba llenos de gallinas y huevos para que el pueblo no muriera de hambre. su gente hizo fila a las 4 de la mañana para intentar conseguir un litro de leche y posiblemente un poco de pollo, carne de res o cerdo en las tiendas que se agotan en minutos. El experimento comunista no ha funcionado. El pueblo cubano necesita tomar el control del paÃÂÂs y hacerlo grande nuevamente. No es necesario que los civiles en Cuba hagan fila a las 4 de la mañana cuando tienes empresas como COSTCO y Home Depot para ayudarte con las cosas que necesitas en tu vida. tienes cientos de miles de hermanos y hermanas viviendo en Estados Unidos que quieren que eleves tu nivel de vida como lo han hecho en Estados Unidos. para hacer eso, debe solicitar a su gobierno que realice cambios para permitir que esto suceda. Suficiente es suficiente. es hora de que Cuba se levante. no hay necesidad de una revolución violenta, simplemente se requiere que la gente diga "no más". está permitiendo que China interfiera con lo que estaba haciendo para tratar de mejorar las cosas para su paÃÂÂs y su gente. están enseñando a su gobierno cómo controlar Internet, que es una parte de Intercal del control del pueblo por parte del comunismo chino. no necesitas esta Cuba. Abre tus puertas, haz concesiones con Estados Unidos, deshazte de los embargos y observa cómo crece tu paÃÂÂs. el turismo traerá miles y miles de puestos de trabajo al pueblo cubano. empresas como COSTCO & HOME DEPOT también brindarán un excelente empleo en toda Cuba. El mundo quiere venir a Cuba. Estás en el Caribe agrega que los turistas de climas más frÃÂÂos quieren venir allày gastar dinero y disfrutar de sus vacaciones. ¡Esta solo puede ser una situación en la que todos salgan ganando para el pueblo cubano! haga lo que tenga que hacer pacÃÂÂficamente para lograr estos objetivos. El pueblo cubano merece mucho más de lo que su gobierno comunista les ha dado durante los últimos 50 años. Si puede acceder a Wi-Fi, mire estos dos videos de un cubano recién llegado de Cuba que llega a América y lo llevan a Home Depot y COSTCO. cuando ve la abundancia de comida en Costco comienza a llorar. DesearÃÂÂa poder comprar esos productos … la carne de res, el cerdo, el pollo, la mantequilla, la leche para sus hijos en Cuba. … Cubano en Home Depot… https://youtu.be/TLsscvpsH8E

When the CIA stops their mass brainwashing, the internet will return. There’s no food because of multiple reasons but mostly because of US embargoes and laws that prevent other countries to help Cuba “or elseâ€ÂÂ. Good piece in Dore about this https://youtu.be/djj84ooaJCs
My friends in Cuba say that the government has blacked out the nations internet. police have attacked protesters with clubs and even machetes. THe Cuban Govt wont buy medicines which mean people are dying of preventable illnesses, similar to whats been going on in Venezuela.
This is an urgent message…not only warn you, but encourage you of the times we're living in. Some people don't see the news apart from FOX, CNN, CBS, ETC… (Reliable news suggestions, monkeywerx, DUTCHSINCE, & watchman on the wall88) we're living in dire times. Earthquakes are in diverse places, along with pestilence, famine, & away to be controlled. We are on the brinks of a global reset, NWO. They're not even hiding it anymore. I eagerly encourage everyone to do some due diligence in the times we're in. Seek it out, away from the paid media, with an agenda.. The church rapture is imminent;
We're about to enter into the 7 years of tribulation. (Daniel 9:27, Abraham accord).. phrosey is unfolding before our eyes, as depicted many centuries ago.
This isn't about politics or religion, but now is the time to get saved. There's quite a few churches/individuals make it about works, or how much you need to be righteous to be saved or maintain salvation. That's not the case. It's simple for a child to understand. And that is, if you confess with your mouth and truly believe in your heart that Jesus Christ (Son of God) died on the cross, was burried, and rose on the 3rd day, according to the scriptures, to pay your sin debt (all sins) then you're sealed the nano second you accept and believe that; sealed until the day of redemption. (1 Corinthians 15: 1-4)
There's nothing more. No amount of works can save you. However, we are to live christ like. The holy spirit will start the good works in you. It is not of ourselves. (That's were religion comes in. Most make it about do's & don'ts, legalism) and try to condemn you, when Jesus (blood) sets us free.
Now onto repentance.. greek meaning for repentance in the Bible – God's word, means metanoya. Metanoya, means a change of mind. So what are you changing your mind about? Well, it's to acknowledge that we have a sin condition (All do, NO one is exempt, only Jesus) and that you can't save yourself, but Jesus can. Amen!! Put your faith and trust in him alone, not of yourself for salvation.
Why do they have a white supremacist dealing the cards? Down with the Patriarchy!! Systemic racism reveals itself once again!!! Burn down the capitalist devil USA is oppressing the world, save the world and give control to the glorious CCP, while you still have a chance LONG LIVE THE CCP🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳they will take care of you and keep you safe
Im cuban, please dont lift the embargo #soscuba
Por favor
Havana here, we need help they are killing us #soscuba
Yes we are hungry in havana #soscuba
That’s interesting. China controls their citizens internet as well…
People are starving. The regime are pigs
Was there in 2020 and they really need help!
Really… Canada and US send supplies!!!!
USA! End the blockade and most problems are easily solved in Cuba.
Democrats are you paying attention?
I think this reporter is scared for his life. He is in Havana. If he says anything that the cuban government does not like, he will be in danger.
This guy is living in a different part of Cuba because. As a Cuban person, I would tell you that half of what he's saying is incorrect. He justifies the regime and blames everything on the US, but it makes sense as a British citizen living in Cuba with Marxist political views will always be left-leaning and defending a dictatorship. I'm not supporting a right-wing approach either, but he needs to get in touch with the reality of the country that he claims he's living in. You need to talk to the average Cuban, my friend before you start making comments like this on the world stage! #getyourfactstraight
Communism, the greatest killing machine of the human history ….
The great dragon is coming for all communists
It is the beginning of the end now
Don’t give up
Perseverance
The gods are behind you
The communism will fall hard
They have made the dragon very angry 😤
The end and the new beginning
TRUE Americans stand with the people of Cuba for FREEDOM FROM TYRANTS!!! We DENOUNCE COMMUNISM, BLM, ANTIFA, and the LYING MEDIA AND DEMS who make EXUSES FOR ATROCITIES to suit their OPPRESSIVE AGENDA!!!
Show me those massive pro-government manifestations. They were no!!!!!!!!
*()_()+_)+&*)&*)&)American virus/American flu
Coronavirus originated in the United States. Two virus leaks occurred at the U.S. Virus Laboratory in
Fort Detrick, Maryland, U.S. in 2019.On October 18, 2019, the 7th Military World Games was held in Wuhan china. American soldiers brought the coronavirus to Wuhan. the United States virus infected the world.Americans are trying to hide the truth
The flu comes from the U.S., Covid-19 come from the United States.
I’m just tryin to eat some ramen ðŸÂÂÅ“ but in all seriousness hope everyone in Cuba’s doin alright. 🇨🇺
An Australian journalists exposes US war crimes and is jailed. Ok, then let's have all US journalists who have exposed other countries' war crimes placed on the Interpol Most Wanted List and jailed NOWâÂÂâ€â€ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚Ââ€â€ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚Ââ€â€
Gotta love how the left wing media refuses to call out communist states even at the cost of peoples lives.
2:02 to buy a liter of oil that is sent as A DONATION THAT IS NOT MEANT TO BE RESOLD. Yes, thats right. The cuban government is selling donated supplies to their own people.
👉 THE CUBAN DICTATORSHIP 🇨🇺 HAS CUT OFF INTERNET AFTER THE PROTESTSðŸâ€Â¥ðŸâ€Â¥ðŸâ€ÂÂ¥
👉 WE NEED FUNDS 💰💰 ASSIGNED TO THE OFFICE OF CUBA BROADCASTING (OCB) TO LOCATE A SATELLITE 🛰 📡 THAT PROVIDES TEMPORARY INTERNET ACCESS TO CUBANS 🇨🇺
Were is Potato Biden??
Big Tech is silent. I expect constant updates, but they seem to have ended a day ago…
Telling…the gig is up!!!
If it wasn't for people in the US sending money they would really starve to death you're basically subsidizing Cuba with American dollars
Funny thing is republican politicians are following communist patterns on voter suppression and propaganda.
This Ed Augustine reporter is dead wrong. The U.S. is not obligated to provide food for anyone but its own people (unless there is an agreement). And it's not a "human right" to demand that another country pay for your existence. The most basic human right is freedom. It's the Cuban gov who is denying freedom and the right to own property and retain the benefits thereof.
Immigration Tzar Mayorkas:
“Let me be perfectly clear†WE, the Soviet Democrat Party stand in solidarity with the Cuban Communist Government, WE do not want you coming here and telling the American People about our longstanding relationship with Communist Governments, from the current Chinese Communist Party and that in Venezuela… to our past relationship with the Soviet Union. You people are an embarrassment when you point out that we stand AGAINST Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom to Assemble and against Life itself – from killing off unwanted babies to letting vets die from neglect in our VA system to throwing old people infected with Covid (a virus 🦠we provided funding for in close development with the CCP) back into nursing homes to get rid of as many useless (non tax paying people) as possible. You should listen to your GOVERNMENT because GOVERNMENT ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR PEOPLE and NOT allow people to think for themselves… stay in Cuba and Haiti! Only all the rest of Latin America is allowed to come here and enjoy our welfare state because we can afford $30 TRILLIONS in Debt… our citizens will pay for it!â€ÂÂ
Bunch of propaganda! The majority of the people are chanting: I am Fidel!
How is NBC in Cuba & we are not getting any footage from them about what's going on?
WRONG, I'm Cuban, and the cuban people don't care about the embargo or any sanctions, they are sacrificing their lives to fight for the same freedom we all take for granted sometime here in the USA. Cuba needs Biden's intervention both with an increase in sanctions along with other countries that support freedom, and also military aid before Russia helps the Communist regime first. If Cuba can overturn and become a free country like the US, they can help fight back and help other countries with similar crisis like Venezuela.
Hermanos Cubanos nadie puede entrar a Cuba xq eso se llama invadir a un pais.Ustedes se liberar con manifestaciones nosotros estamos apoyando atra vez de difusión online.Si los Bolivianos sacaron a Evo Morales ustedes tbn sacar a Miguel Diaz!!
