My IG feed been blowing up with posts about this. I have nobody on the island I keep in touch with but lot of people I know especially in my extended family do. I been hearing about how its impossible to survive cuz of the ridiculous exchange rate and stores only taking USD or other currency and not the Cuban one. One guy was saying in a video that he spent like $40 on a few packs of diapers and thats the type of salary only someone like a doctor would make. They don't make enough to be able to survive out there. Not to mention that the supplies are limited already so covid running rampant now. The US could send help but the Cuban government usually takes all of it or most of it. Latest I heard was they dragging teenage boys out of school to fight for the cuban army against the people. shyt gonna get real ugly if something not done soon.
Everything you heard is true. They got stores in one currency thats cubans dont get paid in, filled with luxury goods. Yet the other stores for pesos are literally selling food with worms or animal entrails and nothing else. I got my aunties, great grandma, some cousins, and a couple lil broads in the cut over there. Im hearing from multiple sources theyre gonna have the internet out for AT LEAST 15 days and that Diaz Canel called for armed combat and purging in the streets on the radios, communists vs everybody. Light artillery vehicles on the streets and Door to door raids on houses to find any protestors and beat the shyt out of em. 88 known dissidents have "disappeared" but im also hearing the people are NOT backing down and they already designed a blue and white battle flag with C-7-11 on it to counter the red and black M-26-7 flag (fidel loyalists)
Also hearing (unverified reports) that Raul is pulling a Trump and hiding out with his family on a Navy frigate thats ready to dip to Venezuela if it gets any worse. Fidel was always the real one in that family, he was a dikkhead for sure but he def wasnt a punk fakkit like these new leaders
