The Cuban government has summoned the US ambassador, Benjamin Ziff, to its foreign ministry, accusing Washington of stoking a protest which saw hundreds of people take to the streets in the island’s second city of Santiago de Cuba.
The demonstration late on Sunday was a rare public show of disenchantment against Cuba’s communist government, and was apparently led by parents struggling to feed their children in the face of a worsening food crisis. The protesters reportedly chanted: “Without electricity and food, the people get hot.”
Power cuts of up to 18 hours a day have meant that as the island heads into summer it is almost impossible to preserve what little food there is.
Sunday’s protests reportedly began when mothers turned up at a government building complaining they could not provide for their children, chanting: “We are hungry.”
Similar protests broke out in El Cobre and Bayamo, while smaller groups gathered in Santa Marta, near the Varadero beach resort, and in the city of Matanzas.
The US embassy in Cuba tweeted: “We urge the Cuban government to respect the human rights of the protestors and address the legitimate needs of the Cuban people.”
But a US state department spokesman said it was “absurd” to suggest Washington was behind the protests.

That Russian proxy shot down American aircraft and bombed a Florida radio station.
More recently, they got caught plotting to bomb Florida power stations.
Russia did a massive number on Ukrainian farms. But you don’t give a shit about Ukrainian farmers, who have nothing to do with the LGBTQ thing, and are just like us, trying to get by despite the power struggles around them.
The leftists in the US have long been funded by both the Russians and Chinese, and the lgbtq movement is funded primarily by foreigners, by the way, the Chinese in particular.
What's Cuba's FR nicks? Just wait and see.
” Russia did a massive number on Ukrainian farms. “
You are making my point !
The Globohomo Regime is shutting down farms in Holland, Belgium, Ireland, Canada, Germany. And getting ready to move against farmers in the other countries of the West. They are planning an engineered famine against their own people.
And what are you worried about ?
Russia.
Russia and Ukrainian farmers.
“Cheering for communists against anticommunists.”
What is wrong with you guys, I AM NOT cheering for the Biden Administration.
“There was a time when uprisings against communist dictatorships were something to celebrate.”
It was very easy during the Cold War, but after seeing the United States DESTROY non-Communist country after non-Communist country, starting with bombing the crap out of Serbia, I have SERIOUS DOUBTS as to just what we have become, but I am in TOTAL AGREEMENT with Trump that this crap has to end.
How about you guys tell us why we need to bomb the crap out of Serbia. Did they THREATEN us in any way, did they threaten their neighbors, or did the United States simply HATE THEM because they are Christian nation?
Total collapse in 3.2.1 The commie Cuban Gov. will put hundreds of thousands of the most downtrodden Cubans on boats heading for the USA for their share of Biden’s never ending free $hit for votes campaign.
Cuba: there was no milk at my American Walmart this weekend. Just sayin.
Can’t just be p!ssed off Cubans. They would never get uppity—I mean complain. They’re in paradise. Yup./sarc
Unlikely ... why would they be chanting ANYTHING in English.
Machine translate to Spanish looks like "Sin electricidad y sin comida, la gente se calienta" which is sort of chantable ...
Right.
It can’t possibly have anything to do with food and electricity shortages in a communist kakistocracy. It just HAS to be those EEEEEVIL Americans ...
Please move to Cuba.
In our nearby HEB, there hasn’t been enough milk for 20 years. You have to watch your cart or that last gallon of milk you snagged in the dairy case will be stolen by a sweet little old lady.
Can’t imagine how mankind survived before refrigeration and hot pockets. Perhaps those Cuban mamas could plant a garden, forage, raise some chickens and goats, dehydrate what’s in season and whatever they can find at the store, home can (tomatoes can be canned in a solar oven), smoke fish or have a neighborhood bbq with some gov. officials.
Those food and electricity shortages in that communist kakistocracy have been going on for decades. They're nothing new.
What also hasn't changed for decades is U.S. agencies interfering in governmental affairs at the behest of their globalist masters, including our own elections.
Therefore the people subject to them aren't allowed to protest.
Because neocongolbalistmumbojumboblahblahblah ...
You can always move to Cuba, since America is such a horrible place.
In fact, I encourage you to do just that.
As for leaving the U.S. - no. The goal is to throw out those who are intent on ruining it.
ROFL!!!
The left pioneered that “if you disagree with us, you’re ‘in denial’” propaganda gambit. You talk like a leftist.
As you said, "Because neocongolbalistmumbojumboblahblahblah ..."
Some people honestly see the world differently from you.
You appear to see America as the root of all evil in the world. I'm familiar with that point of view: it's fundamentally leftist.
As you said, "Because neocongolbalistmumbojumboblahblahblah ..."
Yes ... some people use "neocon" (without having a clue what that word means), "globalist", and other bogeyman terms to reflexively and without a moment's thought condemn America. It's really just gibberish and deserves the offhand dismissal I gave it.
Besides all of that ... the victims of a communist kakistocracy SHOULD rise up against it.
“This is where your value system has left the zone of sanity.
Sticking it to the neocons is somehow better than causing actual, physical misery to millions?”
The Bolsheviks must preserve the “revolution” at any cost.
Projection.
I recognize that our political and korporate offices are rife with individuals determined to carry out the globalists' agenda.
