Cuban Uproar: Mourning Martyrs Amidst US Tensions

Tens of thousands of Cubans gathered in Havana to protest the US government's actions and mourn the deaths of 32 Cuban officers in Venezuela. Amid heightened tensions, the government-organized demonstration pressed for the release of Nicolás Maduro and resisted US pressure.

Tens of thousands of Cubans rallied at the Anti-Imperialist Tribune in Havana, protesting the US and honoring 32 Cuban officers killed in Venezuela. The demonstrators decried the US government and held Cuban and Venezuelan flags, highlighting the strain in US-Cuba relations.

The protest, orchestrated by the Cuban government, followed a US raid that targeted former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, leading to his arrest. Cuba's Foreign Ministry expressed the nation's resolve to protect its sovereignty against foreign threats.

The event underscored rising tensions after President Trump demanded concessions from Cuba and criticized its dependence on Venezuelan resources. Expert warnings hint at worsening conditions for Cuba, already burdened by severe blackouts due to tightened US sanctions.
