Cuba is facing its worst economic crisis in 30 years.
The last time Cuba felt this strain was when subsidies from the former Soviet Union ended.
Now, US sanctions and a pandemic that has crippled the tourism industry have tens of thousands of Cubans leaving the island in search of a better life.
Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman has this special report from Havana.

#Cuba
This is a tropical country - with a lot of vegetation and lots and lots of land...., there should be mechanisms in place for people to use that land to grow their own food. There should be no reason why people should be starving there.
Cuba grows mostly sugar to use as bartering cash crop to bring in much needed forex.
yes right, but cuban are under communist dictator and also are lazy
Cuba does grow a lot of food, in fact too much that they throw many into the garbage! For instance, Cuba has perfect environment for growing mangoes, those mangoes are the best tasting and biggest I've ever seen in all the countries I have been in the world!Mangoes are so cheap in Cuba they sell for 3 big ones for only 1 CUC or about US$1. But because Cuba has so many mangoes that don't get eaten before they spoil they are thrown into garbage! Dried mango meats can fetch about US$10 per kg on the international market, but Cuba rather throws excessive mangoes in the garbage than make dried mangoes for sale. Cheese is another common Cuba product, high quality and cheap, most likely made from organic milk, price is very cheap, less than US$5 per kg. Bananas are about US$0.25 per kg, yes, just 25 US cents per kg, but there's no banana chips made in Cuba, any banana not eaten are thrown into garbage! One of Cuba's problems is distribution, the system is inefficient and careless, often foods on the farms are spoiled before transportations arrive to pick them up. Cuba is a good country with an excellent government for a poor county, it may very well be the best running poor country in the whole world. People in Cuba get free housing, food, education, medical services, this is why Cuba has low crime rate, its people have less stress and social problems, unlike the nearby Haiti or Jamaica. Cuba is a paradise for poor people, despite how the mainstream media portray it as a desperate broken country in poverty, in reality Cuba is not anything like how the mainstream media paints it as.
I was thinking the same thing. I still understand why America has sanctions on Cuba after all these years But, trades with Russia and China. Also manufacturer US goods there
@@robertsmith1865 because China is crucial to fueling American consumerism. America tried "replicating" China in India, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Kenya- it didn't work. Even now US sanctions Russia oil but Russia sells crude to India who processes it and sells it to USA as Indian fuel. Cuba doesn't have the might to pull off such stunts so US can bravely sanction.
Think about it Cuba main priority is maintaining government control vs doing what they can to have a thriving economy wtf
Ah yes, the thriving economy of the United States where you step over homeless people to get to the job that you can't afford to take sick leave from. Oh, who am I kidding, no one walks in America. When people suffer under socialism it's socialism's fault. When people suffer under capitalism it's the individual's fault, or so they tell us.
@@knightimer2 lol. Americans dont understand basic economics and forget that most capitalist countries are still poor. Only rich imperialist countries
@@knightimer2 Well 4% of Cuba's population flew to Nicaragua and walked over 2500 km to get to the US in the just the last 2 years. Pretty sure most Cubans would be ecstatic to have an economy like the US. There's also the fact that the last time Cuba's economy crashed in the 1990s, Castro's government made capitalist reforms, becoming more like the US economy to save his regime. But you and the adorable little marxist shouldn't have to worry, I'm sure the Cuban government will find a way to chug along and continue making sure that taxi drivers and doorman for foreigners make more than Cuban doctors. After all we all know the whole point of the Cuban revolution was to make Cubans 2nd class citizens, desperate to serve wealthy foreigners in order to make enough money to eat 😂

@@MrWalka it’s funny how Cuba needs to do business with a capitalistic country to make its socialist economy work.
@@jacobelledge8424 just like any country it needs to trade with others for natural resources and supplies. What would happen if japan didn't trade for raw materials or food? We are a globalized economy where trade is necessary to support any real economy in the world. Being socialist has nothing to do with the need to trade.
@@MrWalka the problem is why would American companies trade with a country that would simply seize their assets at anytime just because the Cuban government wanted to. Even if there no sanctions from the US, Cuba would still be starving.
The pandemic and Russia invading Ukraine and an incompetent government have made Cuba worst.

It's worldwide economic crises fueled by pandemic. Many tourist countries suffered. Also there is high prices of fuel and food due to war and sanctions

Okay. Then let it fail. End the embargo and let it fail. If a planned economy is such a disaster, then there’s no need for the embargo right?

70 years and they still can't figure out that their policies don't work
Coincidentally, that's exactly how long the trade embargo has lasted. Interesting...
It is for north and south to be reconciled, as they are neighbors, removal of the prohibited and all things that are harmful to man. SMEs..2022 onwards.
The solution is a free economy, freedom of speech, and free media, etc but the dictatorship doesn't want to give up control.

The US embargo is the biggest culprit in this scenario. It helps keep the population weak and demoralized in a daily battle for mere survival.
@@Jagueyes1 No. Try Cuban command economy.
He said "5:30 am" not 5:00 am
Blaming US sanctions on their problems is inaccurate. Cuba is a lush land of vegetation and food production. The government has made poor decisions, as yet again, communism continues to fail...
Due to incompetence and malice.
For Christ´s sake, they have plenty of land to do any agribussiness deal. They can raise chicken, cows, etc. At the same, they can plant corn, rice, etc. Thus, they have to find ways to feed their people.
But they're not legally allowed to farm.
One thing is that cows are only allowed to be raised by government owned places, so beef is really rare as killing one without a license will get you in so much trouble, that's why prok is more popular, people raise them in their backyards with food scraps
Communism doesnt allow them to cuz god forbid capitalism🤷🏻♀️
I may never know who used the high-frequency sound weapon at the American embassy in Havana, Cuba. It's obvious to me that weapon was used to keep the embargo in place. Why else would the effect of the weapon be called "the Havana syndrome"? Cuba and America came very close to a peaceful reconciliation. Restrictions were eased for a very short while. President Obama traveled to Cuba to watch a baseball game. One of the first things a child from Cuba enjoys, if they make it to America, is tasting an apple for the first time. Apples are rare in Cuba, because of the embargo.

NOT because of the embargo
Cuba joins the Stagflation club along with Venezuela. Shri Lanka and Argentina.
Is the USA Helms/Burton Bill still in place against Cuba. Cuba has incredible potential...land, agriculture, oil, tourism, sunshine but yet it has not developed it to its full potential. Could it be because of the government policies or could it be a lack of ambition by the Cubans that is created by repressive government restrictions?
The us embargo against Cuba is still in place, i think it could never that
Be that*

@@cubanenglish then things have not changed in over 20 years. I was in Cuba over 20 years ago in support to the Cuban economy and my protest against the Helms Burton Bill. After a few weeks there I witnessed the oppression by the government to its people.

The US’s blind addiction to capitalism is heartbreaking. Their sanctions against Cuba are unforgivable.

Looks like the revelution has failed.
Miserably.
Where is all this disparity in the world going to end.!!!!
Cuba is suffering from lack of imagination. And it isn't only Cuba, but since Cuba is the subject at the moment...The Cuban people need fresh new young ideas at levels of leadership. Just as we see here in America, older leaders with their biases and their self interests see the future much differently than the younger people who will have to live in it longer. And though it is true that that youthful naivete at the leadership level could cause issues. Especially with other leaders looking to take advantage of younger leadership. It also presents it's advantages, like not holding on to old prejudices and grievances. Which allows one to be open to possibilities. Communism in the government of Cuba here in the 2020's is more religious or ritualistic than it is anything else. Cuba needs to let it go. Not to appease The United States, but to free HER people from worn out dogma.
I agree
Fidel Castro was young and fresh with new ideas.
@@genxx2724 Fidel Castro may have been young but he didn't have fresh ideas. He had old Marxist-Leninist ideas. There was nothing fresh about Marx or Lenin. But because of you I digressed. Cuba needs the Cuban people to choose a young person with aspirations beyond the old world of worn out White political philosophers. Someone like a Justin Trudeau. Someone who truly cares for the people. And respects the rule of law. Fidel Castro was a military strongman who lived in paranoia. And he was not elected by anyone.
@@nathanielsmith2341 Americans were using Cuba as a hedonistic playground, indulging in vices that are illegal here. He out a stop to it and threw them out. I respect that.
Don't think so. The problems is the government doesn't support people ideas. and IF they do, it must be their way, you can earn more than they do and on the other hand there are not enough recourses to carry on all kind of projects, but the Cuban in general are hard working and very creative people!! Believe me. Or how the manage to keep running those old American's cars from the 50s , 60s ...?

I hear many many Cubans that say that the embargo is being maintained by the Cuban regime , no longer by the US.
you are correct. I am cuban and that is true, communist government just care about maintaining their power over anything. Cuba is like that due to their own policies.

Mr United States u always say u love Jesus , why sanctions in Cuba??? Action and reaction are and opposite

I don't understand how their economy is collapsing. Despite American sanctions, they are being actively supported by global economic powerhouses China and Russia. I suspect severe economic and financial mismanagement and ineptitude on the part of Cuban authorities.
That’s exactly it
Cuba never reformed from the Soviet era central economy. Vietnam and China did but Cuba did not.

If they'd change the system, allowing and protecting private business, they'd see a huge investment, and within a decade they'd see big improvements.
Investment by whom? The embargo essentially boils down that as an investor you can only do business with either the US or Cuba but not both. You can't work as an investor without access to the most important capital market.

Farm up the land and stop the people from starving
Doesn’t anyone go to work, there are only 168 hours in a week, do they just queue every day.
A popular saying in Cuba is, 'The government pretends to pay us, and we pretend to work.'
I saw a video about a Moscow supermarket in the glory days of the USSR. That day the "supermarket" had no butter. No butter! A common theme here about Communism, the wave of the future.
No disrespect to the translators but they are missing little bits of context. 'Luchar' means to struggle. In more 'street' context though she says she's literally just hustling and busting to get on the street to get things for her family.
My comment seems to not be shared
Communism/ socialism is the problem not sanctions. Exactly the same as Venezuela.
While there might be lines and limited availability; let’s be honest. Did any of the people look bone thin like starved people. Remember what the concentration camp prisoners of WW2 looked like? So no not starvation.
Starvation is not always physically visible. The body is VERY good at putting on weight WHEN food is originally available, then keeping it on later even during hard times. There are even people who starve who are overweight-looking - because that weight was reached when they had access to food, and it stays on the appearance even when food is not coming. Shallowness to just base analysis on what the eye sees.

This is so sad...why aren't these people growing their own food...at least what they can...
Those in this video live in Havana, a big city that doesn't have farm land. The government severely restricts the ability of people living in rural areas to grow food and bring it to the city to sell in markets.
They're not legally allowed to.
