Cuba and Haiti Are Boiling Over

A day after Sunday’s street demonstrations in several cities across the country, Cuba went dark on Monday because of internet outages and disrupted cell phone service. Yes, the Cuban regime can do that easily. Cuban Americans in Miami who had joined in with their own demonstrations on Sunday couldn’t tell if the protest had continued. Neither could the international media.

Cuban exiles, members of the Assembly of Cuban Resistance, held a news conference in Miami to show their support and ask the international community, led by the United States, “to protect Cuba from bloodshed,” said Orlando Gutierrez-Boronat, head of the umbrella group.
