  6. How Cubans are navigating the US oil blockade with rechargeable fans and solar-powered Chinese tricycles | CNN

    How to conserve cellphone battery when recharging options are scarce; how to preserve food when the fridge isn’t working; how to cope with the heat when air-conditioners aren’t an option; how to generate power when the whole country has almost none left.

    These are the sort of tutorials that have made the Instagram feed of influencer Dayán Marrero indispensable to many Cubans as they try to adapt to the rolling electricity blackouts and fuel shortages that are increasingly part of everyday life...

    As the #US-imposed #oil #blockade that is worsening the situation bites ever deeper, Marrero and his compatriots are having to get creative. Farmers pasteurize milk over charcoal fires; commuters ride solar-powered Chinese tricycles; tour guides grind coffee by hand...

  11. #Video - US Voices Against the Blockade Episode 2: Imani Bashir
    peertube.world/w/oBRgayfhyQKmp

    [from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    Duration - 2:02

    #ImaniBashir is a Black American activist from Washington D.C. She visited to #Cuba following a radical political tradition, one that includes Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, and Kwame Ture, figures who understood the #CubanRevolution as part of a broader struggle for liberation.

    For Bashir, visiting Cuba wasn't just political, it was personal. Seeing #AfroCuban people, she says, was seeing people who look like her, who share her history, who have maintained their culture and dignity under decades of sanctions.

    Her argument on the #blockade is straightforward: Cuba has never been a threat to the US. It has never put #US safety, its food supply, or resources at stake. "It has only been the other way around," she says.

  12. Caribbean countries pledge humanitarian support for Cuba amid rising tensions with US
    Disagreement among Caricom members hampers unified response on Cuban sovereignty and US intervention in the region

    from #TheGuardian
    Feb. 28, 2026

    At the opening of the conference there were calls for dialogue to de-escalate the tensions between Cuba and the #US, with Jamaica’s prime minister Andrew Holness raising concerns about the “severe economic hardship, energy shortages and growing humanitarian strain” and its potential consequences on the wider region.

    On Friday, the chair of #Caricom, St Kitts and Nevis prime minister, Terrance Drew, said that the 15-country bloc will be responding “in a significant way to help the humanitarian situation in #Cuba” within a month.
