AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoCuba Power Crisis/Blackouts: Cuba suffered a second nationwide blackout in less than a week, leaving about 10 million people without electricity as the grid failed again Friday; officials blame the “energy blockade” and intensified U.S. sanctions, while restoration has been slow and uneven—Havana reportedly at about 12.9% of customers, with outages lasting 15 to 22 hours in the capital and far longer in some provinces. July 11 Anniversary/Repression: On the fifth anniversary of the 2021 protests, Old Havana saw pot-banging protests met with police and paramilitary deployments, and dissidents reported surveillance and intimidation; the regime’s state media pushed a narrative of “media manipulation,” while U.S. officials marked the day by calling for political prisoners’ release. U.S.-Cuba Politics/Negotiations: A new flashpoint inside Cuba’s ruling camp centers on Raúl Castro’s grandson, Raul Guillermo Rodríguez Castro, who has been described as a key backchannel in talks with the Trump administration—dividing government supporters. Diaspora Solidarity: Cuban Americans in Miami rallied in Little Havana and at Calle Ocho/Domino Park to demand freedom and support those still detained. Diplomatic Pressure: China urged the U.S. to lift the blockade during UN debate, echoing broader international calls for an end to sanctions.
