Cubans in exile want an “end to communism”

from The Current

Millions of people in Cuba are still without electricity after the country’s power grid collapsed on Monday. It comes as the U.S. has an oil blockade in place in the country and as President Trump says he would consider “taking Cuba.” The CBC’s Jorge Barrera is in Havana and tells us how the blackout has been impacting people's lives there. Plus Sebastián Arcos, the interim director of the Cuban Research Institute at Florida International University, talks about what comes next at this pivotal moment for the country.
