Expert on the crisis in Cuba: - It could become a new Haiti
Experts warn that Cuba is facing unprecedented pressures that could lead to humanitarian collapse amid crippling U.S. sanctions.
The situation in Cuba has reached a critical point, as the communist regime faces historical pressure amidst calls for regime change from the United States. For decades, the U.S. has supported measures aimed at destabilizing the Cuban government, and with recent actions taken by the Trump administration to cut off vital oil imports from Venezuela, Cuba's closest ally, the scenario has worsened significantly. Experts argue that the population is on the brink of a major crisis, and any further deterioration could provoke mass unrest.
According to researchers, the blockade imposed by the U.S. has escalated the already severe economic situation on the island, transforming it from bad to worse. Reports indicate that the United Nations has raised alarms about a potential "humanitarian collapse" in Cuba, which adds to the urgency of addressing the mounting pressures faced by the government and the populace. The Cuban authorities, not historically accustomed to such levels of external and internal strain, find themselves in a precarious position, balancing the need for reforms against the risk of losing power.
With these developments, analysts are drawing parallels between the current crisis in Cuba and past situations in countries like Haiti, where political instability and external sanctions led to significant humanitarian problems. As the international community watches closely, the implications of the situation in Cuba could have far-reaching effects not only for the island nation but also for regional stability in the Caribbean.
