Thousands of demonstrators spilled into the streets of Cuba this weekend, calling for an end to the 62-year communist regime. Demonstrations were sparked by chronic food shortages and blackouts.

#Cuba #CubanProtests #NightlyNews
Any mention of the failure of communism from NBC?
My country is racist but everyone is trying to GET IN and NO ONE is trying to GET OUT. Democrats make me sick.
The president of Cuba not starving, like democratic politicians here Biden and Harris not affected by inflation?
The u.s. gov. will stand with Cubans for human rights but what about the human rights of the tribal nations and African Americans within u.s.? What about the human rights of Palestinians? #ganderp
Domino Effect…….First Cuba than Venezuela and Nicaragua……
Sanders loves the stuff.
They too will get their Somalia,lybia and irak,freedom 😂😂😂😂
If you want true freedom ..take off those dam masks. There s no scientific study that says they actually work.
Waving American flags in America under the Biden regime is becoming as dangerous as under the Castro regime in Cuba
Biden is scary tough. yawn.
If you don’t like communists don’t go to America you wont like it here either.
I think everywhere in the World is Fighting to have what USA have call True Democracy that same takes for granted.
0:11 These are pro government protestors. Man’s sign says the streets belong to the revolution.
Lol “president joe bama” may as well be
I dont care. That’s their problem
🇨🇺✊🏿
i LOVE how literally the only people who are pro marxism and pro socialism, are people that never lived under Marxism or socialism. Freedom to the people of cuba! may the free market rise! let’s pray that these protests will change the minds of some socialists in the U.S
ya. literally
Thanx Joe-Bama as i’m sure Cubans are praising now….Castro’s
if only they had weapons. all it takes is a gun, ammunition, and an ideology… may cuba prosper in the future, and through change
If you get near a computer, google “bay of Pigs invasion”
@mark price yeap, because nothing has changed since then…
Why do placard holders look like they are tourists?
Covid-19 vaccines are being sent to Cuba.Queen Arelis Of Scots.
Please tell them that I ask for them to calm down now please.To get ready for the vacinnes.Queen Arelis Of Scots.
The Embargo must end!
Don’t believe it is the embargo. Don’t let your anti-American feelings deceive you. Communism does not work. It is a failure.
I do however expect that there still will talks about the dire situation about food.Queen Arelis Of Scots.
The ones at 0:03 are actual protesters against the regime. Accurate.
The ones at 0:05 are supporting the arrest of, seemingly, a counter government protester, hence they are pro revolutionaries. NBC is painting them as protesters however for some reason.
The ones at 0:09 are shouting “El pueblo unido jamás será vencido”, a socialist song from Chile. These are pro revolutionaries painted as counter revolutionaries.
These guys at 0:11 are shouting “Fidel!”, they are pro revolutionaries/government.
0:23 People from Miami, accurate.
0:42 These are heckling a protester that has been arrested and put on the back seat of the police patrol, notice how they don’t even touch the front seat windows, If they were against the government they’d be hitting the police, but they don’t. These are pro government.
This is where are country is at now.. these are the “public servants” that were elected to represent the American people.. We can thank the Biden supporters, who stopped at nothing to elect this inept, corrupt, leftist politician, and his socialist administration. In just a short period of time, they have totally ruined the economy; opened our borders to gangs and many drug pins, and made a mockery and joke of our foreign policy. It was never about “the people”, but about their own agenda and ideology. The American people who voted for this man, are beginning to wake up and realize that they didn’t receive what they thought they were getting when voting for him…This is where are country is at now.. these are the “public servants” that were elected to represent the American people..Los liberales piensan que el gobierno comunista de Cuba es algo digno de admiración, pero no quieren ver cómo sufre la gente bajo esa dictadura…
Voter’s ID is required to all countries around the world. Third world countries required a voter’s ID in order to avoid election FRAUD. What on earth Texas Demoncrats Party do not want a voters ID and do not want to verified the mail voting system….Hey Texas De,moncrats you are moving backward. You are showing your stupidity….ThIrd world country is far more better than yours…bwa! ha ha ha……HA HA HA ..HAR HAR HAR ….HAK HAK HAK….HO HO HO…
International news sources reported the facts of today’s Cuban protests more objectively with less appeal to emotional rhetoric. “Cuba is going through its worst economic crisis in decades, along with a resurgence of coronavirus cases, as it suffers the consequences of US sanctions imposed by the Trump administration…An official in the Biden administration tweeted support for Sunday’s demonstrations…”
Regular Americans posted some useful comments:
“President Obama deserves a lot of credit for providing support to the Cuban people and starting the process of opening their economy. Without Obama’s efforts the Cubans would not be protesting today, and I hope Biden will follow Obama’s plans and help the Cuban people overthrow their dictators…”
“Protest is healthy and timely. Cuba’s government is evolving away from dictatorship. There was support for this under Obama. Trump shut down any hope of diplomatic pressure…”
“The challenge will be to strike a balance: less authoritarian, more democratic government but not letting the country be inundated by foreign corporate interests…”
….as all governments should be protested against.
MEXICO PUEBLO IT’S WELL KNOWN THAT CUBANS ARE NOT WELLCOME IN MEXICO FOR TRAIITORS TO CUBA TRAITORS TO THE REVOLUTION AND TRAIITORS TO USA AND TRAITORS TO MEXICO🦊🦊
No sean sinvergüenzas Estados unidos todo el mundo sabe que ustedes tienen el pais de cuba así, por que ustedes los castigan con sus sanciones y bloqueos, ustedes desean esas tierras para hacer armas nucleares, ustedes EUA no quieren el pais por sus maravillas ni por su humilde gente, ustedes desean esa tierra por que es geopolítico para mandar armas y bombas nuclear para vencer sus enemigos y matar a la gente de cuba. No metas a ese pueblo de cuba en sus asunto, dejalo que ellos sean libre y soberano.
@1:18 she just said Pres JOBAMA😂😂😂 two failed POTUS
Trump is the biggest failure . Who did you thing reinstated the embargo and sanctions..
Feerdom for VietNam too???
The last thing the Cuban civilians are worrying about is the vaccine… stop pushing that poison.
Los demócratas liberales que a menudo han elogiado la dictadura del régimen comunista en Cuba, son las mismas personas que también están tratando de convertir a Estados Unidos en un estado comunista. Es hora de que el pueblo estadounidense se una y luche contra esta ideología que domina los principales medios de comunicación bajo la administración Biden. Es hora de que luchemos por nuestros derechos y libertades junto con los valientes cubanos en Cuba. Es hora de no decir más.
The US is standing up with the Cubans? Huh? Isn’t Mr.Biden Democrat party a hidden disguised communist party too? Plus you stole the election from Mr.Trump where everyone one around the world knows he won! Please worry about America before getting into other country business. This is their country let them handle and worry about it. You can do whatever you want Mr.Biden what’s matter is the people.
Libertad para Cuba, que viva Cuba libre y democrática!!! Bajo el comunismo y a los desagraciados que apoyan a la tiranía!!
Send in a coalition of troops and free the Cuban people now!
Cuba is what Democrats want for America, are you surprise that Democrats and the left are quite? I DONT!!!
Cubans need to be armed. If only they were armed, they would be able to succeed.
Just waiting to hear from the GOP on the Cuban crisis? And how Governor Ron DeSantis handles demonstrators blocking
Highways in Miami. Especially after his new law.
My country will be like this soon
The situation in Cuba is likely due to a variety of factors. Ignore the jingoistic “becuz freedumb” voices from Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax. The reality is almost certainly better explained by recent policy changes and COVID, as this well-sourced set of claims spells out.
https://twitter.com/red_dilettante/status/1414626287239450627?s=20
The thread goes on to explain that “because freedom” has similarly low explanatory power to “because sanctions”.
Neither narrative is FALSE, but neither narrative is particularly HELPFUL in understanding why it’s happening NOW.
cuba libre!!!!!!
❤ para Cuba !!!… we pray 🙏 for you !!!
Communism and Socialism doesn’t work.
communism is a lie of the rulers, they promise to share but take all for themselves.
Providing Cubans cell-phone connectivity via low earth satellites may bring about the fall of the communist regime that depends on censure. But it may not be feasible: (1) cost of launching a satellite is in the tens of millions of dollars, (2) satellite may not be able to accommodate the demand, (3) a satellite so far from earth is likely to experience data transfer lags and call lags. However, there may be a genius out there with a solution.
CUBA LIBRE!
DOWN WITH COMMUNISM!!!
Joe Biden: Cuba is a shining example of Communist utopia.
Cubans: We want freedom, no to Socialism, no to Communism.
Joe Biden: Cuban’s are just white supremacists anyway!
And yet he voiced support for the ppl. Are you lying or stupid?
@cuki-Face
Ad hominem is not an argument.
Don’t believe the usa news. Government stole the money from the bank
Cuba is a good example of what happens to an unarmed civilian population.
All other amendments are protected by the 2nd
Communism needs to disappear, everywhere.
Been 3 days since any new videos or any real news does anyone actually care or do you all just watch then find something about yourselves to talk about.
They’re literally chanting “Fidel! Fidel! Fidel!”.
maybe it’s “freedom”. they’re chanting libertad in the other examples, which translates to freedom.
My guy they saying “Libertad”
@Chris Barciain the beginning of the video its libertad, in the middle its fidel.
The ppl that are chanting fidel fidel are the ppl that are revolutionary and are blinded by what the president tells them not everyone is chanting Fidel most of the ppl are chanting libertad which means liberty or freedom in english.
@The Creator sure, they are blind! they cant see that usa propoganda is better!
GO HOME THEN!!!!!!!!
I feel very sorry for the Cuban people.
As ALWAYS blame Trump
Every war is bankers’ war every coup is bankers’ coup
Notice how at the end, the newscaster says that Biden was tougher than Obama when it comes to sanctions against Cuba. Biden lifted the sanctions. Of course he’s tougher. What they don’t want to say is that Biden is tougher than Trump. Biden probably forgot to lift them. Too excited after he heard they were serving meatloaf and Jello for dinner, and after that a bath and nap time. Communism is coming to the USA under our new fartless leader. We’ve already got the walls and troops around the Capitol. We’re starting up our own banana republic, right after Biden and the Fed crash the economy.
People: Fidel! Fidel!
Announcer: people shouting for freedom
Yes, Fidel is freedom for Cuba)
@Иозеф Швейк indeed, he is, good solder Schweik. Present tense intended
They are protesting against starvation and thirst. They have no food, they have no water, their money was taken away from them. They also have no internet either so you can’t get the truth. This allows the blood guilty media to lie as always.
You can vote yourself into Communism, but your grandchildren will have to shoot their way out.
They protesting communism…not that they want more vaccines(white house spin and lies) ..they are being murdered by a communist regime .
No person is illegal!
*except anyone who dosen’t serve a purpose for the DNC .
Liars ! Racists! Hypocrites! Communist sympathizers and enablers you are MSNBC.
Better dead than red
Against comunism dictatorships ‘ goverment my as’
If freedom is anti-government — then GOVERNMENT IS SLAVERY.
nbc! stop defending and covering up for a communist dictatorship in cuba in your desperate attempt to defend your own communist backed, blood thisty administation whom you serve!
I can only imagine if Cuba loses its communism, it’ll collapse the Venezuelan government.
What is transpiring from the protests? At best, color revolution in Cuba, leading to Mariel Boatlift 2.0, and Haiti 2.0 soon after.
А почему они “Вива Фидель” кричат? 🙂
01:18 President jObama? 🤔
Stop blaming the pandemic, this is about erradicating communism.
erradicate it in china, oh no u cant:D too much $ there.
eradicate in America, its getting very bad here in the states…. US falls all fall…
First y’all said it was due to being “hungry” and then due to “medicine” and then due to “no freedom” and now it’s due to the “communist government” ?? Like do y’all even know what communism, socialism, capitalism or authoritarianism really means or do y’all just follow what everyone says on the internet?
@Zeta Reticulian It’s due to all of these things. I know it might be confusing hearing so many different problems listed, but that’s because it’s a complex and multi-tiered issue with the historic communist regime at the heart.
What the people are really fighting for is a voice and control – to be able to actually influence decisions that affect them. Transitioning from communism won’t instantly solve the problem, but it will allow the people to vote by the priorities of the people and have some level of control and transparency over food logistics, economy, medicine, the ability to import and export goods – basically the ability to actually affect policies that are inadvertently catalysing these issues.
Yea, and how about mentioning that Cuba is Communist and Marxist?
Hunger knows no law. The government must do something good for the taxpayers to resolve the problem rather than punishing them. It’s time for Cuban’s to prosper.
The pro government protests were much larger. Weird how you haven’t shown any of them. I’m sure this isn’t yet another US backed coup attempt or anything. 🙄
Did she really say “President Jobama” 1:18 ??? Haha!
DIAZ-CANEL MUST STEP DOWN!!!! HIS ORDER TO ATACK THE PROTESTERS IS ILEGAL EVEN UNDER THE CURRENT COMMUNIST CONSTITUCION. #SOSCUBA #CUBA
Is not covid is not the hunger, they are asking for freedom, not rrepression, no dictatorship, FREE CUBANS!!
It has nothing to do with the vaccine, wake the F up, they are tired and want freedom like us and only live 90 miles away.
Cuba free🔥❤️
No more comunismo en CUBA. SOS CUBA. Is is not the embargo from the USA is the embargo from the communist regimen against they own people. They are killing young people all over CUBA and they only want freedom.
To my Cuban brothers. I was brought up in Mexico in the early 60s. I went to Mexican public school and learn Spanish very quickly as a result. I have great feelings towards the Spanish people. I have always wanted to go to Cuba but because of the political situation I was not able to go. when the US placed embargoes on the Cuban people my father flew airplanes from Canada to Cuba filled with chickens and eggs so the people would not starve to death. your people lined up at 4 AM to attempt to get a litre of milk and possibly some chicken beef or pork at stores that sell out in minutes. The communist experiment has not worked. The Cuban people need to take control of the country and make it great again. there is no need for the civilians in Cuba to line up at 4 AM in the morning when you have companies like COSTCO & Home Depot to help you with things that you need in your lives. you have hundreds of thousands of brothers and sisters living in America who want you to raise your living standards as they have been able to do in the US. in order to do that you must petition your government to make changes to allow this to happen. enough is enough. it’s time for Cuba to rise up. there is no need for a violent revolution it’s simply requires the people to say “no more”. you are allowing China to interfere with what you were doing to try to make things better for your country and your people. they are teaching your government how to control the Internet which is an Intercal part of Chinese communism control of the people. you don’t need this Cuba. Open up your doors make concessions with the US get rid of the embargoes and watch your country grow. tourism will bring thousands and thousands of jobs to the Cuban people. companies like COSTCO & HOME DEPOT Will also provide excellent employment throughout Cuba. The world wants to come to Cuba. you are in the Caribbean add the tourists from colder climates want to come there and spend money and enjoy their holidays. this can only be a win-win situation for the Cuban people! do what you have to do peacefully in order to attain these goals. The Cuban people deserve much more than their communist government has given them over the past 50 years. if you are able to access Wi-Fi watch these two videos of a Cuban recently from Cuba who comes to America and is taken to Home Depot and COSTCO. when he sees the abundance of food at Costco he begins to cry. He wishes he was able to buy those products…the beef the pork the chicken the butter the milk for his children back in Cuba. …Cuban at Home Depot… https://youtu.be/TLsscvpsH8E

A mis hermanos cubanos. Me crié en México a principios de los 60. Fui a una escuela pública mexicana y aprendí español muy rápido como resultado. Tengo grandes sentimientos hacia los españoles. Siempre quise ir a Cuba pero por la situación política no pude ir. cuando Estados Unidos impuso embargos al pueblo cubano, mi padre voló aviones de Canadá a Cuba llenos de gallinas y huevos para que el pueblo no muriera de hambre. su gente hizo fila a las 4 de la mañana para intentar conseguir un litro de leche y posiblemente un poco de pollo, carne de res o cerdo en las tiendas que se agotan en minutos. El experimento comunista no ha funcionado. El pueblo cubano necesita tomar el control del país y hacerlo grande nuevamente. No es necesario que los civiles en Cuba hagan fila a las 4 de la mañana cuando tienes empresas como COSTCO y Home Depot para ayudarte con las cosas que necesitas en tu vida. tienes cientos de miles de hermanos y hermanas viviendo en Estados Unidos que quieren que eleves tu nivel de vida como lo han hecho en Estados Unidos. para hacer eso, debe solicitar a su gobierno que realice cambios para permitir que esto suceda. Suficiente es suficiente. es hora de que Cuba se levante. no hay necesidad de una revolución violenta, simplemente se requiere que la gente diga “no más”. está permitiendo que China interfiera con lo que estaba haciendo para tratar de mejorar las cosas para su país y su gente. están enseñando a su gobierno cómo controlar Internet, que es una parte de Intercal del control del pueblo por parte del comunismo chino. no necesitas esta Cuba. Abre tus puertas, haz concesiones con Estados Unidos, deshazte de los embargos y observa cómo crece tu país. el turismo traerá miles y miles de puestos de trabajo al pueblo cubano. empresas como COSTCO & HOME DEPOT también brindarán un excelente empleo en toda Cuba. El mundo quiere venir a Cuba. Estás en el Caribe agrega que los turistas de climas más fríos quieren venir allí y gastar dinero y disfrutar de sus vacaciones. ¡Esta solo puede ser una situación en la que todos salgan ganando para el pueblo cubano! haga lo que tenga que hacer pacíficamente para lograr estos objetivos. El pueblo cubano merece mucho más de lo que su gobierno comunista les ha dado durante los últimos 50 años. Si puede acceder a Wi-Fi, mire estos dos videos de un cubano recién llegado de Cuba que llega a América y lo llevan a Home Depot y COSTCO. cuando ve la abundancia de comida en Costco comienza a llorar. Desearía poder comprar esos productos … la carne de res, el cerdo, el pollo, la mantequilla, la leche para sus hijos en Cuba. … Cubano en Home Depot… https://youtu.be/TLsscvpsH8E
Cubano en COSTCO… https://youtu.be/UhzQCeKlFDo
We call on US to end economic blockade of Cuba !!!
Protests in Miami seem bigger than those in Cuba. Must be easier to organise these things at home….
Cuba ……. 62 years of oppression and dictatorship, 5 million exiles, 350 thousand disappeared, 8 thousand executed (shooting), and keep more than 4,500 political prisoners in their jails per year. An slaver “Socialist , Communist and Fascist” police regime that is based on coercion, hatred, resentment and family separation and death … they control everything without the slightest loophole for any other idea be it political or economic.
The Mambises woke up! , the Cuban people are already free in their minds and they are going for their conquest. Homeland and Life!
The whole world have to fight against socialism.
usa – allow those cubans who wish to come into your country and end your blockade on cuba. its not rocket science.
While the lame stream news stands idly by, the Cuban people fearlessly protest a corrupt ugly socialist government. When the government has all the guns, they will rule with an iron fist. That is why we have the 2nd amendment in this country. Our forefathers knew history and how dictatorships work.
Lmao 1:18 “President Joebama”
Well they should learne this cuban what happen to Middle East and lybia …… they don’t whana have their faith just good luck to them
Democrats LIED and claimed Cubans are protesting “lack of access to vaccines”, but THEY’RE REALLY PROTESTING COMMUNISM; a fact that Communist Democrats, who SUPPORT ANTIFA/BLM, CAN’T ADMIT.
“The CUBAN GOVERNMENT MUST BE SUPPORTED!” -Signed, AOC
Cuba’s problems are designed by the western elitist world. They don’t want ppl to see that equality ccan work.
Ahhh isn’t it counter protest against the protesters
Biden is spinning the Cubans trying to get to America back around and sending them home. It’s ok for Millikan to come through the Southern Border but not Cubans. Why? Because those crossing the Southern Border are perceived Democrat voters and Cubans are perceived Republican voters. Cubans are trying to flee what Demonrats want the US to be and Dems can’t have that.
STOP COMMUNISM,
STOP TYRANNY GENOCIDE CASTRO-DIAZ CANEL
FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FREEDOM 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺
Lol nice lies
0:07 calling for an end to the 62 years comunist regimen y te ponen a la gente diciendo FIDEL FIDEL, ay gringos no saben na
