His sporting success came early as he joined Dublin’s Gaelic football team at just 17 years old in 1969. He played in six consecutive All-Ireland Championship finals throughout the 1970s, securing three titles. Guided by his mother, a nurse, he studied medicine and became one of the world’s leading transplant surgeons, based at Dublin’s Beaumont Hospital where he directs one of Ireland’s central organ transplant programmes. Hickey’s solidarity with Cuba began through his admiration for its athletes, especially Olympians Alberto Juantorena, track runner, and boxer TeĂłfilo Stevenson, who turned down lucrative professional contracts in order to remain loyal to the Cuban Revolution. In the 1990s, while developing Ireland’s pancreas transplant programme, Hickey met a Cuban transplant surgeon in France who invited him to visit the island. In 1999, Hickey travelled to Havana and was ‘absolutely captivated’ by the people and society. He founded the Irish Cuban Medical Association, which shipped ten 40-foot containers of medical supplies to Cuba over the following decade and helped establish a kidney disease education centre on the island. He emphasises the devastating impact of the US blockade on Cuba’s healthcare system, including through the prohibition on selling any equipment to Cuba if it contains 10% or more US components. ‘That is virtually everything in medical technology’ he explains. He describes the US blockade of Cuba a war crime with genocidal intent. Despite this, he says ‘Cuba has the most advanced medical system in the world’ and points to the Latin American School of Medicine which trains tens of thousands of medics from around the world, including from the United States. He contrasts Cuba’s focus on public welfare, education, and universal healthcare with the profit-driven systems of the West.

He explains how the National Centre for Scientific Research, founded by Fidel Castro in 1965, trained Cubans in biomedical sciences, and incubated multiple research and development centres, including the Neuroscience Centre that he directs. Cuba’s unique state-founded, state-owned biotechnology sector, organised today under BioCubaFarma, emerged from this process in the 1980s. ValdĂ©s Sosa outlines the ‘grand strategy’ behind Cuba’s investment in education and science, and the creation of ‘full cycle’ research centres that combine basic research, production, and foreign trade. He argues that this socialist model, free from speculative private interests, allows the sector to prioritise public health, produce affordable medicines, and tackle neglected diseases that big pharma ignores, including meningitis B in Africa. We discuss recent crises in which ValdĂ©s Sosa played a key role: the US allegations of ‘sonic attack’ on diplomats in Havana during the first Trump administration, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Having investigated the US accusation, he provides a scientific rebuttal of the so-called ‘Havana Syndrome’, highlighting the lack of medical evidence - a conclusion subsequently reached by US intelligence agencies – and the political motivations behind them. He describes how during COVID-19 the Neuroscience Centre pivoted to manufacture medical ventilators and swabs in collaboration with international partners, to circumvent US sanctions. ValdĂ©s Sosa describes the suffocating impact of the US blockade on Cuba’s medical science sectors, from obstructing access to equipment, spare parts, databases, and bank transactions, to ‘invisible mechanisms’ to scare off scientific partners. It is a ‘crime against Cuba’, he says, designed to strangle the economy and overthrow a system whose example of successful social policies the U...https://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/5ce51bba-38f4-44db-bef5-9d270a7fc630/80ef9cf2-dbe9-4020-bc19-6e96c4dde811-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/ctjEr7Yg6Fh7RbwFKnvHsh4403002026-01-28T02:20:49.067ZYESCuba Analysis PodcastsNOhttps://peertube.world/w/5jgFGGVb96Yg7kHEEEMbE2https://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/87f8b16b-f814-4ae1-b47f-64d6312301e4.jpgCuba Analysis exclusive: Ana Maldonado reports from Caracas on the US attackDon’t miss this urgent and compelling episode of the Cuba Analysis Podcast, hosted by Helen Yaffe and Nina Blodau, with Ana Maldonado, a Venezuelan sociologist and the International Relations coordinator for the Francisco de Miranda Front, a Chavista movement, and member of the Venezuelan chapter of ALBA Movements. Maldonado left a huge march in Caracas to update us about events in Venezuela: the military assault by 150 US aircraft, including fighter jets, helicopters and bombers, that hit targets throughout Caracas and in three other States, abduction of the President, Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores; the killings of dozens of military personnel and civilians and how the Bolivarian system of national defence kicked into action in response. Maldonado describes the experience of the nighttime bombings on the 2 to 3 January and the widespread destruction to antennas, military facilities, ports and airports, as well as the popular mobilisation in response. On 4 January, Venezuelans took to the streets en masse to protest the attack and demand Maduro is returned. She points to the emotional resilience of Venezuelans who refuse to accept foreign intervention. The conversation dismantles the US phoney narrative which casts Maduro as a narcotrafficker and Venezuela as a narco-state and foreign terrorist regime. Ana responds directly to the Trump’s lies in his 3 January press conference, affirming that US forces do not have a presence on the ground, that acting President Delcy Rodriguez and the Venezuelan government are not collaborating with the Trump administration, and that the US does not have control over Venezuela’s oil industry. She explains how RodrĂ­guez is leading the constitutional and popular response in Maduro’s abduction, guided by pre-established plans for national defence.

Their remains were flown into Havana, and honoured with a ceremony there before being carried along Boyeros Avenue—lined with mourners—to the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces. People waited for hours to pay tribute to the fallen Cubans, despite the heavy rain which swept in, filing past the coffins in silence and sorrow.

With the 60th anniversary of the Tricontinental Conference taking place in January 2026 at the University of Havana (12–14 January), Prashad calls for renewed debate on South–South solidarity and internationalism. Prashad reflects on his first visit to Cuba during the Special Period of the 1990s, when the collapse of the Soviet Union plunged the island into severe economic crisis. He argues that Cuba’s survival under extreme pressure revealed a central political truth: socialism, when confronted by empire, becomes an essential defence of sovereignty, dignity, and collective survival. We discuss the historic 1966 Tricontinental Conference in Havana, which united revolutionary movements from Asia, Africa, and Latin America and laid the foundations for anti-imperialist internationalism. Prashad explains how the conference fused the Bandung Movement’s demand for sovereignty with Marxism’s commitment to human dignity, forging a tradition of national liberation socialism that continues to shape struggles across the Global South. Prashad delivers a sharp analysis of ongoing U.S. aggression against Cuba, identifying the blockade as the central human rights violation—an illegal and permanent siege aimed at undermining the Cuban Revolution. He situates today’s economic crisis within a “permanent Special Period” driven by sanctions, financial warfare, and political isolation, and calls for stronger international solidarity, particularly from Latin America and the BRICS countries. He stresses that defending Venezuela is inseparable from defending Cuba. The conversation also explores the continued relevance of Marxist analysis, critiques moralistic and idealist tendencies on the left, and highlights the impor...https://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/ae4f877d-360e-438e-911b-ca430a90a2d7/9fab0229-08c8-4642-8c42-7962e7da941d-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/nwqQmtxp9JfSVheYeeCQQF3882012026-01-28T04:09:18.502ZYESCuba Analysis PodcastsNOhttps://peertube.world/w/vMMUc3LBm1FkMewtn5yYi3https://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/9cf396d5-430d-4814-9e55-bf6ad92ea81d.jpgInterview with Johana Tablada, Cuban Ministry of Foreign AffairsInterview with Johana Tablada, Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs In July 2023, the Cuba Analysis Podcast sat down with Johana Tablada, then Deputy Director General for the United States at Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs but subsequently appointed Ambassador and Deputy Head of Mission in Mexico. In the interview, Tablada describes the key features of US-Cuba relations, past and present, clarifies how the US blockade functions, explains its economic and human toll, and lists the impacts of Cuba’s inclusion on the US State Sponsors of Terrorism List. We discuss Cuba policy under the Trump administration, driven by Secretary of State Marco Rubio who built his career on opposition to Cuban socialism. Tablada responds to US claims to champion human rights, while imposing unprecedented sanctions and pressuring countries to cut ties with Cuban medical missions worldwide. She addresses Cuba’s broader international role, the principles shaping its foreign policy, and the significance of Cuba joining the BRICS intergovernmental organisation. We closed with a discussion about Cuba’s historic opposition to Israel’s occupation of Palestine and outspoken denunciation of the genocide carried out with impunity since October 2023.

But so far, the Biden administration has failed to reverse Trump’s hardline Cuba policy, including the prohibition on financing of U.S. agricultural exports to Cuba, which these farmers say limits their efforts to boost bilateral trade between the two countries. #farmer #trade #cuba #agriculture #food #unitedstates #sanctionshttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/b79f3aec-f1c0-45cb-9877-c5e28cf5dddd/21ae0e61-df1a-41b6-bc21-99a63bc31f15-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/oF7LGQfkiHeSnkjwe5WKHX53002026-01-28T13:20:22.140ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/5CW9TSfaCQTficjMXrgNZwhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/543f2583-55ea-46e9-ae1f-e109fec9d78a.jpg#SHORTS | Afro-Colombian Poets in HavanaLatin American women's literature was at the forefront of Havana's International Book Fair this year 🇹đŸ‡ș.

McGovern Calls Cuba Policy an “Embarrassment”U.S. policy toward Cuba is "an embarrassment and a miserable failure," said Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) in an exclusive interview with Belly of the Beast. The 13-term House Democratic leader said he has personally asked President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken to lift Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, calling it “just political.” McGovern called the embargo on Cuba a “double standard” given the U.S.’s extensive trade ties with other communist countries like China and Vietnam, as well as those with human rights abuses like Egypt and Saudi Arabia. “I want this administration to take some steps right now,” McGovern said, citing the migrant crisis at the U.S. border with Mexico and the upcoming vote on a bill to codify into law Cuba’s terrorist designation. #unitedstates #cuba #politics #congress #embargo #humanrightshttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/8726131d-2de4-40e7-8d93-56904a9e19b8/5456e473-796d-4124-aa86-d0fba2b2076e-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/hFWVFyjMU1zqCVst6Fm1tJ60002026-01-28T13:20:38.998ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/k7gYjSgT8gLMAZ8hXCzCwahttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/099e22f4-da0c-4b00-96af-0bdfc2a3a350.jpg#SHORTS | Cuban-American Pianist Gives Back to CubaCuban-American pianist Nachito Herrera has lived in the United States for 22 years, but he hasn’t forgotten his roots.

The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy also stated that he works to maintain the bloc’s unified position against the U.S. blockade of Cuba every year at the UN. Borrell announced that the EU will send a human rights envoy to Cuba in November to discuss what unites, and also differentiates, the European Union and Cuba, but insisted that Europe doesn’t have the “will or capacity” to impose demands on Cuba. The European Union is not only Cuba’s largest trading partner and its second biggest source of tourists, but has also maintained a political dialogue and cooperation agreement with the island since 2016, which Borrell hopes will expand to include more topics - “without taboos or prohibitions.” #cuba #europe #diplomacy #dialogue #embargo #unitednationshttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/b7b9d5aa-84ed-46ef-8770-7d719aafc051/ecfae032-4e49-421a-97df-8ee77bd18c45-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/oFRWyGt5S2UNqw7vcwDjUZ38002026-01-28T13:20:51.906ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/b2fnvgMjrVZB3rE245Kb1Dhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/2f1d0cf9-b1d4-41c7-afe0-f9775f0e2d18.jpg#SHORTS | Colombia Says Trump Backstabbed CubaNine days before leaving office, Trump put Cuba on the State Sponsors of Terrorism List list over its support for peace processes with armed groups in Colombia.

A major focus is the island-nation’s 100-year climate mitigation strategy, Tarea Vida, which includes efforts to restore Cuba’s coral reefs to protect against sea level rise. Cuba’s coral reefs are among the largest and best kept in the Americas, something that expert Pedro Chevalier, PhD, of Cuba’s National Aquarium, says must be preserved. "Nature is a long-term investment, not a short-term business. If we don't take care of our home, we will disappear as a species," Chevalier says. #cuba #coral #ocean #havana #nature #caribbeanhttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/4113c244-2da8-438a-a084-c68d5c54647e/8ca2dfc6-5c85-43c1-9fda-5c05f355c6b4-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/9368AnfkPGohP57aPEZcx558002026-01-28T13:24:16.534ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/2eb45eRHJWLDeWv8hx7DFxhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/45848dad-bad0-426c-9cb1-7daed9cd7cba.jpgU.S. Med Students in CubaWhy are dozens of US students getting their medical degree in Cuba? 🇹đŸ‡ș What are they learning that they wouldn't be in the US?

Mario DĂ­az-Balart (R-FL). “Instead of debating our existence, they should be debating how after two years they still haven’t passed any concrete measures or solutions for Cuba’s private sector," said Amel Herrera, CEO of Cuban e-commerce firm Acubamos. #cuba #unitedstates #entrepreneur #smallbusiness #trade #investment #foreignpolicy #ceo #miami #democrats #congresshttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/bfd5c4b8-8979-48c2-b03e-f9fce6c48e15/2a0eda07-686c-4fee-b687-a43f4689a7dc-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/pFWtCnDYDNsg5coKwEbzQz59002026-01-28T13:25:08.213ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/r9kUFfh6bqiFSnNohk9R9Jhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/173ab292-c9c6-4910-b0b7-00d0d757cc50.jpgCuba's March of the TorchesThe March of the Torches is a student tradition celebrated in Cuba every January 27 on the eve of the birth of JosĂ© MartĂ­, Cuba's national hero.

Trump has revoked the legal status and work permits of hundreds of thousands of Cubans, putting them at risk of deportation. On Thursday, more than 150 people were deported from the U.S. to Cuba. One mother was separated from her young daughter. “They twisted my arm to take my fingerprints and take my daughter away,” she said. “They said she was an American citizen and she couldn’t leave the country
I’ll risk my life again, I’ll go even if they put me in prison. I’m going to go back to get her. A man who was deported said: “I don’t ever want to go to the U.S. again.

Most media organizations portrayed the demonstrations as a cry for freedom against Communism. But the reality was far more complex. Journalist Liz Oliva FernĂĄndez explores the root causes of the devastating economic crisis that has pushed Cuba to the brink. She takes the viewer to Cuba’s working class neighborhoods, where we see the impact of ever-intensifying U.S. sanctions during the COVID pandemic and the near fulfillment of a 1960 State Department memo justifying the purpose of the U.S. embargo: “[to deny] money and supplies...to decrease...wages, to bring about hunger, desperation, and overthrow of government.”https://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/f7eef4f2-b642-4672-8852-26bf78a5e811/5b2bf4e5-db8f-4626-b0ac-aea131a4d04a-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/wBHNS2eonm9GQhTPSkAJC21254002026-01-29T04:36:19.965ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/1JMPct443KrStqWtNGW6PLhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/1abfe67c-96ad-4104-a2e9-56eb178adaab.jpgThe War on Cuba — Episode 6Liz Oliva FernĂĄndez exposes the striking disconnect between U.S. policy and Cuba’s reality. Liz reveals the absurdity of Biden’s offers to “help” the Cuban people with donations of vaccines, Internet access and remittances that bypass local financial institutions. She shows how Biden, pandering to Cuban-American hardliners in Miami, has abandoned his promise to reinitiate the Obama-era policy of engagement with Cuba. Liz also reports on the crackdown against protesters and contextualizes both repression in Cuba and the U.S. government’s supposed concern for human rights abuses in the region.https://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/05f978d9-7e4e-4ea0-b3ac-b9fb3c48d3f6/7c9fa4ab-127b-4f62-952d-4cf454f588d5-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/1JMPct443KrStqWtNGW6PL1357002026-01-29T05:20:08.826ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/nKgABigi8BoJMLEqE7FiAShttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/f21bb400-d3db-4462-867e-9826b0808770.jpgWhat Cubans Want for 20222021 was a rough year for the Cuban people, who not only faced the pandemic, but devastating sanctioned imposed by Trump and kept in place by Biden.

By Saturday, power had returned to 95% of Havana, but frustration boiled over in some areas still without electricity. In the working-class Cerro neighborhood, protesters insisted they were not seeking political change. Police directed traffic, allowing demonstrators to block the road. On Saturday night in the middle-class Vedado neighborhood, most protesters demanded only that their electricity be restored. Security forces did not break up the protest, but later in the night, a few protesters were detained. đŸ“© Get the Truth.

For most Europeans, traveling to the U.S. is an easy process. They qualify for the U.S. Visa Waiver program (ESTA), meaning they just have to fill out an online form. However, U.S. law denies normally eligible individuals access to ESTA if they have visited countries on its State Sponsors of Terrorism list. Cuba was added to the list last year by Doland Trump and has been kept on it by Joe Biden, even though there is no evidence Cuba sponsors terrorism. đŸ“© Get the Truth.

Her remarks come in response to international media reports claiming shipments had been suspended due to pressure from the United States. Mexico is one of the main suppliers of oil to Cuba following the U.S. attack on Venezuela on January 3, which ended with the abduction of President NicolĂĄs Maduro and his wife. Following the attack, President Donald Trump called for a full blockade on oil shipments from Venezuela to Cuba. Mexico and Venezuela, close allies of Cuba, have helped supply oil amid the island’s fuel shortages. #mexico #cuba #trump #oilpolitics #venezuelahttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/f915d76d-86c7-43c4-b497-9ae3fa451c66/27d67f61-7347-46f7-b6cf-01d49cb44cb5-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/wKYiJhVEz2ce6NiA7xCqJS910202026-01-28T12:50:31.228ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/hVP9uohkYkyTnMkBVCHrpuhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/19025411-111b-44f4-9240-9bf1312bf023.jpgWhy Does the U.S. Ban its Citizens from Visiting Cuba as Tourists?U.S. tourists can travel to Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia

Under U.S. law, Cuba can only buy U.S. food if it pays in cash, in advance — conditions under which no other country is required to operate. As a result, Cuba imports food from other countries that offer credit. U.S. farmers say they are being hurt by these regulations. Kansas wheat farmer Doug Keesling says “we’ve lost this market” to foreign competitors. đŸ“© Get the Truth.

Wrong, according to Paul Johnson, president of the U.S. Agriculture Coalition for Cuba, who explains how U.S. sanctions against Cuba prevent U.S. producers from boosting agricultural trade between two countries that are just 90 miles away from each other. Johnson argues that U.S. policy on Cuba is not driven by U.S. interests, but by Florida politics. “We can’t allow one state to determine the entire foreign policy of our country,” he says. đŸ“© Get the Truth.

Oscar FernĂĄndez owns a dried food business in Havana. But over the last few years U.S. sanctions have proved to be considerable obstacles on the road to achieving his dream: scaling up production to an industrial level and exporting his products to the United States. “I don’t know who benefits from U.S. sanctions on Cuba, but I can assure you it does damage to a lot of people,” said Oscar. “Hopefully someday soon we can see all of the barriers removed and we can simply have relations with one another, as two neighboring countries with a lot to share.” đŸ“© Get the Truth.

U.S. restrictions prohibited Cuban residents in the U.S. from training with the national team in Cuba. Ultimately, some of the players were allowed to train with the team in Japan. But U.S. sanctions continue to impact Cuban ballplayers. To play in the Majors, they have to first establish residence outside of Cuba. In 2018, Cuba signed an agreement with the MLB to stop human trafficking and normalize the ability for Cuban ballplayers to sign with Major League teams without abandoning their home. But Trump killed the deal. Thus far, Biden has done nothing to renew it. đŸ“© Get the Truth.

Jim McGovern (D-MA) in an exclusive interview with Belly of the Beast. The 13-term House Democratic leader said he has personally asked President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken to lift Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, calling it “just political.” McGovern called the embargo on Cuba a “double standard” given the U.S.’s extensive trade ties with other communist countries like China and Vietnam, as well as those with human rights abuses like Egypt and Saudi Arabia. “I want this administration to take some steps right now,” McGovern said, citing the migrant crisis at the U.S. border with Mexico and the upcoming vote on a bill to codify into law Cuba’s terrorist designation. đŸ“© Get the Truth.

Lauderdale and Newark airports after returning from a 300-person delegation for May Day in Cuba. On Sunday, these activists joined hundreds in Washington D.C. and across the U.S. to protest President Biden’s Cuba policy, including the island’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. National labor leader Chris Smalls of the Amazon Labor Union said on the delegation that after coming back to the U.S. he would “continue to amplify ending the blockade [on Cuba].” Smalls was one of the speakers for Sunday's march outside of the White House, which closed out a weekend full of related Cuba solidarity events in the nation’s capital. đŸ“© Get the Truth.

U.S. intelligence analysts and former officials from both Democratic and Republican administrations agree that Cuba does not sponsor terrorism. But Trump put Cuba back on the list right before leaving office—a move critics say was politically motivated. Protesters from across the U.S. gathered outside of the White House as part of a week of events across the country to urge executive action on the designation as well raise concern about legislation that could potentially codify it. đŸ“© Get the Truth.

Despite the barriers, Diana and Kevin, two U.S. history professors who recently visited Cuba, say there are still ways to go there legally in 2023.

But U.S. security forces, like the U.S. Coast Guard Service and others who work directly with their Cuban counterparts, consider Cuba an ally. "Thank you for the work you all do," one Coast Guard officer stationed in Miami told his Cuban counterpart during a joint U.S.-Cuba counternarcotics operation in eastern Cuba to which Belly of the Beast gained access. While the Biden administration has embraced Trump's hard-line policy toward Cuba— including designating Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism, without presenting any evidence—experts say that the U.S. has quietly worked with Cuba in counter-terrorism efforts as well as the fight against drug and human trafficking. “There are gains in key security areas for the United States from cooperation with Cuba that frankly there aren’t with any other Latin American country,” said Hal Klepak, professor emeritus at the Royal Military College of Canada, who has advised Canada’s defense and foreign affairs ministries on Latin America. “The most efficient partner of the United States in security terms in Latin America is Cuba,” Klepak said.https://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/5987a53d-2578-46da-9c6e-64a755cc5d76/9afbf102-636c-44f3-8c56-b111283517ed-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/c4dNsy2DGH4hgCFuYGhEzC206002026-01-29T02:33:56.817ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/bLsKLCfx9BxT2MmiuR9Mg2https://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/1595d7d0-fa22-421c-8b3f-3f596cd597cc.jpgLittle League Dreams: Cuba's Road to WilliamsportRelations between the U.S. and Cuba remain tense. But this August, some of Cuba’s most talented 11- and 12-year-old baseball players are in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to compete in the Little League World Series—a first for a Cuban team. Baseball has long been a bridge connecting Cuba and the United States. It’s no coincidence that Barack Obama made baseball a centerpiece of his historic dĂ©tente with Cuba and attended a game during his 2016 visit to Havana. But baseball-crazy Cuba has never sent a team to the Little League World Series – until now. Little League Dreams profiles the inspiring stories of Cuba’s top little leaguers as they prepare for the biggest adventure of their young lives. These kids must overcome family hardships in the midst of a crushing economic crisis while they shoulder the weight of their families’ – and their country’s – expectations.

But Mickael Behn, the heir of a telecom tycoon, accused the cruise liners of “stealing” his family’s property. He paid lobbyists, politicians and Cuban-American hardliners to pressure the Trump administration. He ultimately got what he wanted when Trump implemented Title III of the Helms-Burton Act, a controversial provision that allowed Behn to sue the cruise ships. Belly of the Beast investigates the shady origins of a lawsuit that could earn one family upwards of $440 million — at the expense of the Cuban people and its nascent private sector. đŸ“© Get the Truth.

Mario DĂ­az-Balart (R-FL). “Instead of debating our existence, they should be debating how after two years they still haven’t passed any concrete measures or solutions for Cuba’s private sector," said Amel Herrera, CEO of Cuban e-commerce firm Acubamos. #cuba #unitedstates #entrepreneur #smallbusiness #trade #investment #foreignpolicy #miami #biden #democratshttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/659bdcc4-fdcd-4bb3-b9d5-5fbf6050490d/2ee39ccd-a350-4ff6-9f01-4c44d806f1cd-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/dxJqigbe2iTN89vMeWQsJz152002026-01-29T01:12:37.843ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/odzsP9TH5tEpJqQLEDbDbkhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/76897aef-77ff-48d8-b8f2-4faedb057a5c.jpgBlack Congresswoman Shut Out of Cuba HearingOn Thursday January 18, hardline Cuban American Rep.

While U.S. sanctions impact the availability and cost of food, Chef Batlle says there is a silver lining: forcing creativity. “You become a magician, an inventor,” he says. Batlle was part of the first delegation of Cuban chefs to visit the U.S. during the Obama opening. “It changed my life,” he says. But things changed when Trump became president. Cuban food culture, which was flourishing during normalization, has taken a hit from sanctions and other restrictions imposed by Trump and Biden. It is harder for Cuban chefs to travel to the United States, there are fewer visitors to Cuba and food is scarcer than ever. đŸ“© Get the Truth.

But U.S. sanctions have stood in the way. During Obama’s historic opening, the two countries began talking about new ways to collaborate. But the rollback of Obama’s policy under Trump and Biden has made any progress difficult. “I would like to see a serious discussion, not only at how the United States agricultural producers can increase their exports. We believe we can quadruple the amount of exports that we currently do. There would be a readily available market for Cuban products in the United States,” Johnson says.

Amid the ongoing U.S. blockade and Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, Cuba’s public health sector lacks the resources to obtain life-saving drugs like Cisplatin, Carboplatin, Vincristine, Bleomycin, and Ondansetron. Without these medications, children with cancer face much worse prognoses. Doctors, activists, and volunteers are working together to fight back against shortages, showing that solidarity knows no borders. 📌 In this video: ‱Testimonies from pediatric oncologist in Havana. ‱How sanctions affect Cuba’s healthcare system. ‱The story of the Hatuey Project’s mission. 🔔 Subscribe for more stories: https://www.bellyofthebeastcuba.com/signup 👍 Like, share and help spread awareness. #Cuba #HatueyProject #Solidarity #CancerTreatment #MedicalAid #EndTheBlockade #HumanRights #PediatricOncology #USCuba #HumanitarianAidhttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/540023ec-65c4-4726-8354-64db9d69d28e/569dc008-8038-445e-b887-fc629d3a711e-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/bnBVbkQt7yp2LSBEqLSmxG235002026-01-28T17:23:31.417ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/1tazUfbP6YTZWE1TPmH2QJhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/c52e94fd-ad2d-4c6c-a07a-82022b3d3794.jpgAirbnb & Expedia Leave Cuba | How Sanctions Destroyed Cuban TourismCountless Cuban families once relied on tourism for their livelihoods. Not long after Obama’s opening with Cuba in 2014, Cuba was welcoming over 4 million visitors per year. That number has been cut in half. Cuban B&B’s (or casas particulares, as they’re known in Cuba) sustain communities, create local jobs, and offer travelers an authentic cultural experience. But the business has been decimated by U.S. sanctions. Trump’s sanctions banned cruise ships, restricted flights, and placed Cuba back on the U.S. ”State sponsors of terrorism” blacklist, changing everything. Airbnb stopped paying Cuban hosts without international accounts, and Expedia was forced to halt its operations. The result? Today, ordinary Cubans are paying the price. B&B’s in Cuba are now empty. Families are struggling to survive without their only source of income. 👉 In this video: ‱U.S. sanctions destroyed a kind of tourism that benefited local communities and travelers alike. ‱Cuban hosts share how Airbnb’s and Expedia’s withdrawal devastated their businesses. ‱The impact of U.S. sanctions on Cuba’s tourism industry. ‱Why do families say: “This is not hurting the Cuban state.

It was the eighth deportation flight this year. Cuba has continued to honor its bilateral migration agreement with the U.S. even as the Trump administration has ratcheted up the U.S. government’s economic war on the country. More than a million Cubans have left the island in the past five years, the biggest emigration wave in Cuban history. Most of them have gone to the United States. Cubans have long had a relatively privileged immigration status in the U.S. But Trump revoked the legal status and work permits of hundreds of thousands of Cubans, putting them at risk of deportation.

RodrĂ­guez said Rubio was a fraudulent figure who misrepresented his family’s history with Cuba and whose policies positioned the U.S. government, including the National Security Council, the State Department, and even the military, against U.S. national interests and public opinion. According to the report, U.S. sanctions caused Cuba to suffer $7.5 billion in material damages and losses, a 49% increase compared to those of the previous year. Next month, Cuba will deliver the report to the United Nations General Assembly, which votes nearly unanimously every year – with the exception of the United States and Israel – to condemn the U.S. blockade on Cuba.

For two years, she hasn’t been able to return home – trapped in exile by the ongoing Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people. She has lived through three wars in Gaza. Lost family, friends, her home. Now, she suffers from depression, stress and insomnia, while trying to focus on her medical studies. Despite everything, she speaks with strength – and a mission to be the voice of her people.

CossĂ­o explains that Cuba must now go through third markets just to purchase spare parts or even receive technical support after U.S. companies and European suppliers were forced to comply with Washington’s sanctions policy. CossĂ­o explains how U.S. sanctions on Venezuela have also hit Cuba’s oil supply, increasing costs and forcing the island to find new, more expensive alternatives. Despite these pressures, he insists that Cuba will give Venezuela full political support despite escalating U.S. aggression toward that country. 👉 In this video: Why Cuba can’t buy fuel or spare parts under U.S. sanctions How the blockade extends to private companies like General Electric The link between Venezuela’s sanctions and Cuba’s energy shortages What Havana would do if the U.S. goes to war with Venezuela 🔔 Subscribe for more about Cuba–U.S. relations. 👍 Like, comment and share. #cuba #cubanews #sanctions #energycrisis #venezuela #uspolicy #brunorodriguez #geopolitics #uscubarelationshttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/51677a63-e708-43d2-b966-1a1de21ecfc8/605c82cf-1905-400e-9864-e79cb24ff7a7-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/b42oXotUzZuvbJHDTgsZ1C124002026-01-28T17:03:59.143ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/7sYH8RqX5UY29MRVHxek71https://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/1bed0222-3eae-4082-814f-b52537796046.jpgAfter U.S. Pressures for Cuba’s Exclusion, Mexico’s President Spurns SummitMexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed she will not attend the upcoming Summit of the Americas, set to take place in the Dominican Republic in December after Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua were excluded from the summit due to U.S. pressure.

He blamed Cuba for supporting terrorism, trafficking drugs and weapons, allowing mercenaries to fight in Ukraine, propping up Venezuela, and destabilizing the region. There is no credible evidence for anything he said. Mid-speech, the Cuban foreign minister cut him off with a point of order, accusing Waltz of lying, behaving “rudely and overbearingly,” and showing “crude, uncivilized conduct” unworthy of the UN.

The weather is shifting fast, and residents are racing to prepare before the storm hits. Melissa is expected to be one of the strongest hurricanes to hit Cuba this century, with sustained winds of up to 180 mph. The Cuban government has evacuated hundreds of thousands of people, especially those living close to the water and in houses with weak infrastructure. Cuba has long been considered an example in disaster response, especially in the prevention of deaths in the face of hurricanes. But with the island in a deep economic crisis fueled by U.S. sanctions that have included numerous nationwide blackouts, resources to face natural disasters are limited.

According to RodrĂ­guez, these letters link countries’ votes on the resolution to unrelated issues such as trade tariffs, visa restrictions and foreign policy interests.

Meanwhile, other nations and UN agencies have already provided aid or are finalizing deliveries to Cuba. “We haven’t imposed any special conditions,” Tablada said.

But this year, the number grew slightly: seven countries voted NO, and a few more abstained. According to LeoGrande, most of those opposing nations either rely heavily on Washington, like Israel and Ukraine, or have conservative governments ideologically opposed to Cuba. Others are nations clashing with Russia, viewing Cuba as its ally. Behind the numbers lies U.S. diplomatic pressure. Washington can force votes, LeoGrande says, but not genuine support. #UNVote #CubaEmbargo #Cuba #USPolitics #GlobalNews #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #LetCubaLive #UNGA2025 #cubanewshttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/47e77bd9-dd59-44a3-9515-e35ab9629e46/7653e218-4709-4c21-ada0-eebb19cf6974-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/9SZ6vpUGrSn7aD91Vu91au274002026-01-28T16:57:41.111ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/rdC24af3baBJjcRQatGnm3https://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/34c8512a-957e-4d59-8e77-d4f610652854.jpgThe 2028 Olympic Ban You Haven’t Heard ofA new campaign by the Los Angeles-based U.S. Hands Off Cuba Committee is demanding that Cubans be allowed to compete in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The U.S. Embassy in Havana, under Marco Rubio’s State Department, has refused to issue visas for numerous Cuban athletes and coaches, which has stopped them from competing in pre-Olympic qualifying events. The policy punishes athletes for political reasons and violates the Olympic Charter, which prohibits discrimination of any kind. Activists across the U.S. are calling on the International Olympic Committee to force Washington to issue visas so Cuban athletes can compete, and to uphold the Olympic spirit of inclusion, fair play, and global friendship. #LetCubaPlay #Cuba #Olympics2028 #HandsOffCuba #SportsForAll #FairPlay #USPolitics #CubaEmbargo #OlympicCharter #CubanAthleteshttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/cc3796b7-26a3-49a0-9040-bd2eda564f8e/97d08648-cf39-4e3d-86bd-198c481aedf8-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/rdC24af3baBJjcRQatGnm3137012026-01-28T16:47:27.937ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/gFN2ht1ozEbVwUA3iLfUxGhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/6688e351-ee72-4fd8-ba3e-4d8dca714437.jpgFrom Cuba to Harvard: The Journey of GarĂ­funa Doctor Luther CastilloDr. Luther Castillo Harris was the first GarĂ­funa to graduate from Harvard University.

With over 42,000 cases reported across the country since July 2025, chikungunya was declared an epidemic in early November. 44 deaths from dengue and chikungunya have been reported, 29 of them children. The health system is struggling against an outbreak that has spread due to a lack of resources. “This arbovirus wave is not happening in a vacuum. It arrives at a moment of severe economic strangulation," says Dr. Samira Addrey, a graduate of the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) in Cuba. U.S. sanctions cause billions of dollars in losses annually, depriving the health sector of fuel for ambulances and fumigation, reagents for diagnostics, and raw materials for medicine.

It’s an open secret that its real objective is oil and regime change in both Venezuela and Cuba. It’s also been widely reported that Venezuela is not the real source of drug problems in the United States. But what few journalists are covering – and what nobody in the Trump administration dares acknowledge – is that for years Cuba has arguably been the U.S. government’s most reliable regional ally in counternarcotics efforts. We expose the uncomfortable (for Marco Rubio) truth about Cuba’s long track record of protecting U.S. borders from drug trafficking even as Washington tries to undermine its government. In this new report, in which Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva FernĂĄndez breaks down the hypocrisy of the Trump administration’s war on drugs and how Cuba is not exporting drugs to the United States – it is actually stopping them from getting there.

The statements were made during a press exchange on Air Force One, where Trump suggested future developments without offering details. He framed the issue around migration and Cuban nationals now living in the United States. Hours later, Cuba’s president publicly rejected Trump’s claim. Havana stated that there are no political conversations with the U.S. government, beyond technical contacts strictly related to migration agreements, which Cuba says it continues to uphold. Cuban President Miguel DĂ­az-Canel said Cuba has always been willing to engage in a serious and responsible dialogue with the United States, including the current administration, but only based on sovereign equality, mutual respect, international law, reciprocal benefit, and full respect for Cuba’s independence, without interference in its internal affairs. He also stressed that the U.S. embargo has no connection to Cuban migrants and accused U.S. politicians, particularly in Miami, of exploiting the issue while supporting policies that have pushed Cubans to leave the island. #cuba #trump #cubanamerican #migration #uspolitics #latinamerica #breakingnews #BellyOfTheBeasthttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/9cc0d302-47de-4631-8501-14e90fce8cef/a1ea4354-21ee-4abb-afe1-bceb1e904e63-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/kmFsjQgnE5v39GCEk5r5Ug22002026-01-28T16:28:04.868ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/aBjoZgsqtBnHqBjejpqbKNhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/1a40e563-0512-41f8-a577-4d5adb619784.jpgHalliburton Admits U.S. Drove Them Out of VenezuelaPresident Donald Trump met with major U.S. oil companies to discuss Venezuela’s oil future. But during the meeting, one executive acknowledged that his company didn’tleave Venezuela because of the Venezuelan government, but due to U.S. sanctions imposed by Trump himself six years ago. Halliburton Company’s CEO confirmed their operations in Venezuela ended in 2019 after sanctions made it legally impossible to stay, despite decades working in the country and hundreds of Venezuelan workers employed by the company. The contradiction is not unique to Venezuela. The same dynamic has played out in Cuba: the U.S. imposes “maximum pressure” sanctions that drive out U.S. companies, destroy the economy, and immiserate the population. Then the U.S. points to the resulting collapse as proof of failure and the reason why the doors need to be opened to U.S. companies — except the U.S. was the one that closed them in the first place. #trump #venezuela #oilpolitics #sanctions #usforeignpolicy #geopolitics #energypolitics #venezuelaoil #economicsanctions #BellyOfTheBeasthttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/4dd09df5-e599-43c6-b9b0-88114e6b5004/6fe50b82-ed52-4a0b-bf2b-053936d64076-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/aBjoZgsqtBnHqBjejpqbKN52002026-01-28T16:29:05.603ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/g1zcLxSwntFyvVowXkuGHThttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/e8a16fb7-82a2-44ad-80e2-f0e3d99276ff.jpgA Cuban Cryptographer Killed in U.S. Attacks on Venezuela: A Friend’s TestimonyYunio was a Cuban communications specialist in the Ministry of the Interior. A cryptographer. The father of three children. He was sent to Venezuela on an internationalist mission, which was helping Yunio save money to buy a house. None of his friends and family imagined that he was at risk. Yunio died on January 3, when U.S. military forces killed more than 100 people while abducting Venezuela’s President NicolĂĄs Maduro. In this interview, journalist Claudia Rafaela Ortiz remembers her close friend: his work, his deep sense of duty, his dreams, and the moment she learned that he had been killed during the U.S. attack. “I’m doing this interview because it is my way of fighting against what killed him. I have no desire to remain silent and suffer until it passes, or until at some point I forget that I lost one of my best friends,” said Claudia to Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva FernĂĄndez. #venezuela #cuba #usforeignpolicy #humancostofwar #investigativejournalism #BellyOfTheBeast #documentaryhttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/798d8aba-cd5b-469d-85a3-3b8d16e3028d/1b7f1302-96c4-437f-b897-8eee6b143e58-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/g1zcLxSwntFyvVowXkuGHT714002026-01-28T16:40:13.493ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/rky511fqn3ncvw83tCoqSyhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/1f83b21f-9ab4-48a9-a3ed-a31fb73e30ca.jpgWhy Mexico Is Standing by Cuba Despite U.S. PressureMexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum explains why Mexico continues to support Cuba with oil shipments, even as U.S. pressure intensifies. “If Mexico can help create better conditions for Cuba,” she says, “we will always be there.” Sheinbaum outlined how Mexico’s relationship with Cuba has remained consistent across different administrations, combining contractual oil agreements with humanitarian support. These statements come in the context of the recent attacks by the United States against Venezuela and the abduction of President NicolĂĄs Maduro and his wife. President Donald Trump has called for a “total and complete blockade” on oil shipments from Venezuela to Cuba. Both Mexico and Venezuela are key political allies of Cuba and have helped supply oil to the country as it has navigated severe fuel shortages. #cuba #mexico #sheinbaum #usblockade #sanctions #latinamerica #oilpolitics #geopolitics #solidarityhttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/cd2f5c80-4cf4-4528-83a1-71ca5afafe64/c9c1053e-dc5d-4247-84c5-d20af4787142-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/rky511fqn3ncvw83tCoqSy117002026-01-28T15:37:27.869ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/7JEgZhGHUJMxLTQ2veVyt1https://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/e6058b82-ac40-430e-bc43-485c6604ddfe.jpgWhat Does Trump Mean When He Says He Wants a Deal With Cuba?Donald Trump is threatening Cuba: “Make a deal or else
” But in December 2014, the Cuban government already made a deal with another U.S. president, Barack Obama. Obama loosened sanctions and the two countries started normalizing relations. U.S. companies and movie stars flocked to Havana. Even Donald Trump thought the opening was a good idea. That was no shocker. Back then, Trump and Marco Rubio weren't exactly friends. So what changed? Trump made a deal. Not with Cuba, but with Rubio. Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva FernĂĄndez looks at how Trump reversed course once in office, and how U.S. politics, driven by Marco Rubio, reshaped Cuba policy. #cuba #cubanews #ussanctions #uspolicyhttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/368ba893-f429-4461-9e2f-a349f884bf16/c6ba3887-e08b-409d-b27c-77b8fd43cfe6-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/7JEgZhGHUJMxLTQ2veVyt1357002026-01-28T15:46:24.804ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/ardMbkBJQCtZQVGjDETjjRhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/a75e4a58-ff1b-4f82-8305-a9b697aa2af8.jpg100 Days of Trump: “Maximum Pressure” Economic Warfare on Cuba100 Days of Trump: “Maximum Pressure” Economic Warfare on Cubahttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/4c67b7ad-54a6-4512-860e-927c5186bcc5/61f77eed-6a24-4375-a25f-006869eb3a52-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/ardMbkBJQCtZQVGjDETjjR180002026-01-28T16:16:52.028ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/4bXPCt3Mp2CGBTXxCXdTAwhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/9cace3d7-18ce-4ab5-bd40-df30d9316341.jpgFacing Hostile U.S. Policy, Cuba Still Receives Deportation FlightsOver 150 people were deported from the United States to Cuba on August 28. It was the eighth deportation flight this year.

Speaking during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on U.S. policy toward Venezuela, Rubio went further than past administrations, stating plainly that the United States would “love to see” a change of government in Cuba and that such an outcome would benefit U.S. interests. Pressed by Senator Brian Schatz, Rubio clarified that this is not just rhetorical preference. The U.S. embargo, he said, is codified in law under the Helms-Burton Act and explicitly conditions its removal on political change in Havana. The exchange strips away years of ambiguity surrounding U.S.-Cuba policy. It confirms that sanctions are not tied to specific reforms or negotiations, but to a long-standing strategy of pressure and coercion aimed at reshaping Cuba’s political system. #cuba #embargo #senatehttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/7309f3ed-dbbe-4991-9a1a-1ae0cb6ad14c/feb6bce9-d923-4a93-98fd-65d26e37eb4d-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/fcVgMyHn9Vz89Gx5HXSLhu71062026-01-28T21:54:54.224ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/gZEkh2Vm5cRRNCBpDSbWdBhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/46e15257-3791-4ae9-b4ca-6365f347678e.jpgMexico Defends Cuba Oil Shipments as Humanitarian AidAfter headlines suggested Mexico had suspended oil shipments to Cuba, President Claudia Sheinbaum stepped in once again to clarify what actually happened. Sheinbaum explained that oil from Mexico reaches Cuba through two paths: contracts managed by state-owned oil corporation Pemex, and humanitarian aid decided directly by the Mexican government. Neither, she said, has been halted. The confusion comes at a critical moment for Cuba, as U.S. sanctions tighten and fuel shortages deepen.

The result isn’t abstract policy. It’s collective punishment: blackouts, long gas lines, delayed medical care and families struggling to get through the day. We’re in Havana asking Cubans about the new measures and about what life looks like when fuel, electricity and transportation begin to disappear. Cuba has already been suffering increasing fuel shortages since the U.S. blocked all oil going to the island from Venezuela. In recent weeks, power outages in Havana have increased.

His claim that Cuba acts as a safe haven for Hamas and Hezbollah has been dismissed as complete nonsense by Cubans, just one in a “long list of lies” says the Cuban government.

This episode offers a deep dive beyond headlines and talking points, as Dr Morris guides us through the ‘perfect storm’ confronting Cuba today. She explains why there is such scarcity of food, fuel and medical supplies, and why inflation has been so high and persistent despite government controls in the socialist economy. She describes the overlapping effects of the pandemic, domestic currency reform, tightening of US sanctions and ‘over-compliance’ in the international financial sector - factors that have combined to produce a sustained and deep economic crisis, resulting in prolonged electricity blackouts, goods shortages and large-scale emigration. She also examines how US sanctions weaponise international finance and trade, obliging banks to block transactions with Cuba and ships to turn away from Cuban ports, and pushing Cuba into deeper economic partnerships with Russia and China. We also discuss the complexities and reliability of Cuban economic data. Dr Morris’ career has bridged academia, analysis for the Economist Intelligence Unit, and hands-on development partnerships in Cuba. First drawn to study Cuba because of its position as an economic outlier, operating outside conventional development models, she gathered rich data and insights in the 1990s into how Cuba survived the Special Period, which became the topic of her doctoral thesis. She was a close observer of the impact of the 1996 Helms Burton Act, which significantly tightened the US blockade and strengthened its extraterritorial impact, extending US sanctions to the rest of the world and deterring foreign investors. Dr Morris highlights inspiring examples of innovation emerging within these constraints.

But for him, Cuba is more than just an inspiration — it’s home, history and identity. In Havana, during the 41st International Jazz Plaza Festival, Arturo told us why jazz cannot be understood without Cuba, why Afro-Cuban roots remain central to the music’s evolution, and why cultural exchange persists despite the United States’ decades-long economic war on Cuba. Arturo has been returning to Cuba year after year for over two decades, honoring his heritage, and using music as a bridge between Cuban and U.S. citizens - despite the personal cost of taking political positions. “This is Cuba,” he says. “I come here to learn how to live.” 👉 Join our WhatsApp Community to get alerts, updates, and behind-the-scenes news in real time: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb9o9eP7oQheND87Gn2H #afrocubanjazz #dizzygillespie #Havana #cuba #latinjazzlovers #havanahttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/13dbe015-721c-4225-b24c-0b0aa96e67f9/3b17e8cf-45b6-4df6-9adc-457a16c811c2-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/3sepoddXTodz5pPfwDAGZg1780162026-02-05T11:53:29.706ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/mKw4C6szvepzbk5Lv5xwxRhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/55f1c8b4-6822-4bbd-a59e-aa846e86023f.jpg“Dialogue, Not Sanctions” - Cuba Responds to U.S. PressureResponding to Washington’s intensified blockade on Cuba, President DĂ­az-Canel says the island remains open to dialogue with the U.S. - but not under coercion. His statement comes amid escalating hostile rhetoric from the Trump administration and a new wave of economic pressure. The U.S. has used decades-long sanctions, financial strangulation, diplomatic isolation, and now the targeting of fuel shipments, to pressure Cuba, deepening the economic crisis, affecting electricity, transportation and the daily lives of millions of Cubans. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently admitted the strategy is aimed at forcing regime-change on the island. In this context, a key question emerges: how can U.S. policymakers claim to act in a country’s interest while also suffocating it? #cuba #oil #sanctions #blockade #cubanewshttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/a80a482e-35bd-4fcf-96db-0f05d94183a7/e2c9e331-4a3b-40ac-a762-0d148fd13d40-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/mKw4C6szvepzbk5Lv5xwxR1150102026-02-05T20:49:57.273ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/kw1yf7fRAwkHm863aweVpJhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/982e6879-9d29-4867-994d-de414e1ec555.jpg🇹đŸ‡ș President Miguel DĂ­az-Canel’s remarks to national and international media🇹đŸ‡ș President Miguel DĂ­az-Canel’s remarks to national and international media, 5 Feb 2026: “We are prepared to engage in dialogue with the United States, but without pressure or conditions.”https://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/9e0e4a4c-ee63-4dbe-ac98-7d7364f5c85c/c1158854-db31-4e06-b5e3-a6f8a74cc141-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/kw1yf7fRAwkHm863aweVpJ2210272026-02-08T07:49:21.190ZYESCuba Analysis PodcastsNOhttps://peertube.world/w/5CpxxfSjFR38HpTXVBqJRFhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/f6e7f941-2ed1-45e6-851d-b75f011d7942.jpgCuba Runs Out of Jet Fuel Amid Crippling U.S. Oil BlockadeAs the U.S. oil blockade of Cuba continues, Cuban civil aviation authorities have warned international airlines that jet fuel on the island has run out.

MacLeod is a researcher and investigative journalist for MintPress News, and author of ‘Bad News from Venezuela: 20 Years of Fake News and Misreporting’, based on his PhD thesis. Through interviewing the western journalists posted in Caracas, MacLeod’s research showed that they acted as ‘ideological foot soldiers’ for US imperialism, deliberately manufacturing consent for regime change. MacLeod tells us how one journalist, who he names in the podcast, admitted to planting fake news about Venezuela, describing himself as ‘mercenary for hire’. He traces how this playbook of distortion, exemplified in propaganda against Cuba and Venezuela, creates a false reality for the general public, one where fake narratives about ‘narco-states’ and ‘authoritarian dictatorships’ counter the hard evidence from institutions like the United Nations. The conversation connects the dots between the role of individual journalists, media platforms, think tanks, US government funding and Miami-based opposition leaders, revealing a coordinated campaign aimed at overthrowing sovereign governments. He describes the merging in Southern Florida of the right-wing opponents of the Cuban and Venezuelan revolutionary states who receive generous funding under regime change programmes. We discuss the sordid trajectory of the opposition leaders, people such as MarĂ­a Corina Machado from Venezuela, and Cuban American politicians Marco Rubio, and MarĂ­a Elvira Salazar, who promote violence and US intervention. MacLeod shows how information warfare lays the groundwork for economic and military aggression.

According to Hurtado, decades-long sanctions, recent U.S. measures restricting oil shipments, and extreme weather events are converging into a nationwide emergency. Fuel shortages are disrupting hospitals, intensive care units, vaccine storage, water-pumping systems and food distribution. More than 80% of Cuba’s water infrastructure depends on electricity, and rolling blackouts are undermining access to clean water, sanitation and basic healthcare. Hurtado’s remarks highlight a growing concern inside UN institutions about the humanitarian impact of sanctions and the limits they impose on a country’s ability to respond to economic and social emergencies. #cuba #cubanews #unhumanrights #Sanctions #trump #oilpoliticshttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/f5f58b8e-47a8-44a9-974e-94f6a76d6d8a/55ca6e3f-74f8-4b5d-87b8-a73a833ad2e5-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/wnzGoQ9SA1e9YvjpimG13W940152026-02-17T11:49:50.599ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/eh7KeUBRpKVWjfBfFRh1qUhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/ab32a776-1a8d-42bc-9374-040221af9d13.jpg🇹đŸ‡ș What will happen in Cuba if the blockade ends?What will happen in Cuba if the blockade ends?

But it seems to me that the ones most concerned about what happens in Cuba are officials in the U.S. government.,” said Chief of Cuba's Border Guard. For decades, Cuba has cooperated with the United States on counternarcotics and counterterrorism efforts. In fact, the State Department’s 2024 annual counter-narcotics report recognized Cuba as an effective regional partner in fighting drug trafficking. But last year, the chapter on Cuba was removed from the latest U.S. report without public explanation, a move Cuban officials describe as politically motivated. #oilpolitics #oil #nationalsecurity #cuba #trump #sanctionshttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/db4f0799-5b4d-4a5e-8845-2c459c083fbc/6dfd6495-8308-4df7-a9c1-4f0d8c7d987b-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/t5H57chjMfdPcx3GSUmRCh1670122026-02-18T19:52:25.140ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/t1xkDgvbXf71DQoWxWF9ZPhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/6706a85a-ba20-42e2-80be-a74bbe94b6bb.jpgUN Sounds Alarm About Cuba’s Fuel CrisisUN Secretary-General AntĂłnio Guterres is “extremely concerned” about the worsening situation in Cuba as fuel shortages continue to impact daily life across the island.

Let’s Break It DownIs Cuba really a threat to U.S. national security? The U.S. recently escalated its pressure on Cuba when President Trump threatened tariffs on any country that provides the island with oil. He justified the blockade by declaring a “national emergency” over Cuba. But the facts tell a different story. In this explainer, we break down Washington’s claims. The narrative that portrays Cuba as a threat leans on three main ideas: alleged Russian spy bases on the island, claims that Havana shelters groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, and accusations that Cuba exports an authoritarian communist model across Latin America. The arguments being put forth are misleading. Where does that leave the U.S.’ actions? Are they legal?

Studies show that, unlike all other medications available for the disease, Cuba’s NeuralCIM not only stabilizes patients, in more than half of cases it reverses many of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. Cuba approved the medication for use last year, following several years of medical trials. Dr Bill Blanchet from Colorado has been accompanying his patients to Havana, and says the impact of NeuralCIM on many of them, in just six months, has been life-changing. An upcoming Belly of the Beast documentary, ‘Teresita’s Dream’, tracks the research and development of NeuralCIM. It meets the Cuban scientists behind it, focusing on Dr Teresita RodrĂ­guez, who was driven by her mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s.

The Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister, Carlos FernĂĄndez de CossĂ­o says Havana has been in contact with U.S. counterparts since the outset of the incident. Two of the suspects were reportedly on a Cuban terror watchlist previously shared with Washington.

Speaking at the opening of the FAO Regional Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean, Lula’s comments come at a time when Cuba is facing a deep economic crisis, marked by food shortages and long blackouts, which have intensified under the Trump administration's blockade of oil shipments. #cubanews #lula #cuba #trump #oilpolitics #oilhttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/b52734a4-f711-4f6f-98b1-cac0ab93584a/f94d77d2-72a8-4907-9c4f-ece88653fff8-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/onrda1xcWZgNwSAvU3AAH9270122026-03-07T16:41:56.504ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/4h4dAyM6gDzjppwdCRYPQbhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/f05ee623-96c7-43c9-b564-81367b67e048.jpgThe U.S.–Cuba Had a Deal — But Trump Tore It ApartThis March marks 10 years since Barack Obama landed in Havana and opened a new era in U.S.-Cuba relations. Then came Donald Trump — and he didn't just walk away from the table, he flipped it over. Peter Kornbluh, Director of the Cuba Documentation Project at the National Security Archive, breaks down how the most significant diplomatic breakthrough in decades was deliberately dismantled by the Trump administration — and how millions of Cubans have felt the consequences through blackouts, shortages and mass migration. Now, in his second term, Trump has unleashed a new wave of sanctions and economic pressure against the island, leaving Cuba in its worst crisis in decades and pushing U.S.-Cuba relations back to Cold War lows. Kornbluh examines what was lost, who is paying the price and whether any path forward still exists. #cuba #trump #obama #sanctions #foreignpolicy #geopolitics #migration #latinamericahttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/1a894c88-24b6-49d9-bd3d-602f9a262ad6/9e31beb6-bc46-453f-863e-ce7758968755-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/4h4dAyM6gDzjppwdCRYPQb819092026-03-10T17:48:11.508ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/1wXfwd1NPpVMvheLPh1ewGhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/a7a49e98-bf82-41f8-8d47-e3e47d5287d4.jpgDespite Visa Denials, Cuba Competes in the World Baseball Classic​​Cuba is once again exceeding expectations in the World Baseball Classic. The Cuban team is one victory away from reaching the quarterfinals. It was unclear a few months ago whether Cuba would even play in the WBC. Not because of baseball — but because of U.S. policy. “We were aware that there could be denials due to the United States’ aggressive policy toward Cuba,” said Juan Reinaldo PĂ©rez, the president of the Cuban Baseball and Softball Federation. In the end, the players were granted the visas, but eight Cuban staff, including a scout and a pitching coach, were denied visas. The Trump administration last year blocked visas for some 100 Cuban athletes and sports officials. Cuban athletes also face pressure from right-wing activists and politicians in Miami. In the last WBC in Miami, Cuban players and their family members were harassed and had objects thrown at them. 👉Check out our article “Playing Dirty: Rubio’s War on Cuban Athletes”: https://www.bellyofthebeastcuba.com/rubios-war-on-cuban-athletes #worldbaseballclassic #cuba #mlb #baseball #sportspolitics #wbchttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/04525cc2-89d9-4919-924d-93325182e4a8/957dbca0-2c12-48e5-8255-17c3bc8aec0d-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/1wXfwd1NPpVMvheLPh1ewG231052026-03-11T17:53:12.900ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/gSBhMubMzY3U8PUqztmqVdhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/904bea5c-c77c-4633-b442-1cb1379f189c.jpg‘Obama’s Announcement Was Everything We Worked For’In 2014, something historic happened.

At a time when the island is facing one of its deepest economic crises in decades, marked by fuel shortages, rolling blackouts, and growing hardship, these travelers arrive with a clear message: solidarity. For years, Cuba has endured the effects of the U.S. economic war, a policy that restricts trade, limits access to essential goods, and complicates daily life for millions. In recent years, the situation has deteriorated further, with inflation, migration, and widespread shortages affecting nearly every aspect of life on the island. Now, activists, organizers, and ordinary citizens are choosing to witness these realities firsthand and to challenge U.S. restrictions on oil shipments to Cuba. #cuba #convoy #solidarity #flotillahttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/65c91508-678f-4e27-8510-944c45d26c30/39bfcc50-97c9-4a72-a81d-325f0b14c926-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/dyZN8hoW1ZEkVyAnpoPQ5Q370222026-03-21T00:48:34.184ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/4uwj68zhUX5W3jSD5Xm9Zehttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/2cb7f7ec-cebc-4b9e-9353-318af14c39b6.jpgCuban Americans Join Convoy to Support Families in CubaCuban Americans, U.S. activists, and organizations like Code Pink are going to Cuba together for a shared mission: bring humanitarian aid to the island and support the people amid a devastating U.S. oil blockade.

For decades, U.S. policy toward Cuba has been shaped by sanctions, pressure and political narratives that rarely face serious scrutiny.

In this interview, he explains what he saw on the ground and why he believes this moment represents the worst point in Cuba's decades-long struggle against the U.S. blockade and economic war. Corbyn points at the Trump administration's sanctions as the driving force behind Cuba's current energy crisis. With no oil coming in, daily life has become a matter of endurance. He called for $18 billion in international investment to transition the island to solar and wind power, resources Cuba hasn’t in abundance. His message to critics who blame Havana's government instead of Washington? The problem isn't Cuba's people or its education. The problem is that international finance has been locked out by political pressure. #cuba #cubanews #sanctions #solidarity #blockade #jeremycorbynhttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/2ce5b27c-8321-4655-acfb-ff7ac071ee2d/1ce05529-ceeb-4429-a168-16ed4bca4c8c-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/6xynivVwAxwiWMp6yq3p2F4210172026-03-23T17:55:55.980ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/fwC7eDZewb75yiUjf1giRThttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/5baf4e1b-cd3e-45f4-a0f7-70bd36b91065.jpgColombian Lawmaker: “What They’re Doing to Cuba Is a Crime”Colombian congresswoman MarĂ­a Fernanda Carrascal describes the situation in Cuba as the result of sustained external pressure, arguing that what is happening to the island is “a crime” that affects its sovereignty and its people’s ability to access basic needs. Carrascal, who arrived in Cuba as part of the Nuestra AmĂ©rica Convoy, points to fuel shortages and economic restrictions as key factors behind the current crisis, warning that the impact goes far beyond Cuba. “This is not about charity,” she says. “It’s about solidarity — and about giving back to Cuba what it has given to the world.” She also frames the situation as a broader regional issue, suggesting that what happens in Cuba could signal what’s ahead for other countries in Latin America. That is why she calls for stronger positions across the continent as pressure on Cuba intensifies. Her statements come as Colombian President Gustavo Petro was designated a “priority target” by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. #cuba #blockade #sanctionshttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/75a681a2-3ed0-4418-a790-5229af0b6549/bd2c6876-855a-4b88-9ce1-d2ebb8974e40-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/fwC7eDZewb75yiUjf1giRT290092026-03-24T16:53:01.196ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/xmLFvyhvg9zAxHo65LD1rwhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/cbddcc0e-dfd3-4f95-83b0-3f29c5dec06c.jpgJeremy Corbyn: “Cuba must not be isolated”Jeremy Corbyn traveled to Havana as part of an international solidarity delegation from Nuestra AmĂ©rica Convoy and stated that the crisis in Cuba is the direct result of the blockade, not the Cuban government. “It's time for all of us to step up and show solidarity with Cuba,” said Corbyn. #cuba #blockade #jeremycorbyn #sanctions #blockadehttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/fdf1b5aa-25c3-492d-8df2-ef64e4b0c810/12db9239-bc9c-4106-b5e6-3fd2e9a8c4a9-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/xmLFvyhvg9zAxHo65LD1rw760102026-03-26T11:48:52.206ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/7TJsjq2QNGpMxpan7J9tsvhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/83f4c96b-0363-4fb1-94e8-66be62a702d9.jpgWhy Activists from 11 Countries Sailed to CubaAfter five days at sea, the Nuestra AmĂ©rica flotilla sailed into Havana harbor carrying 14 tons of humanitarian aid, including 73 solar panels, medicine, food, and hygiene supplies.

That's why Italians are on this boat.” #cuba #flotilla #blockade #convoy #sanctions #solidarity #humanitarianaidhttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/37cfed62-6862-4c29-a742-d450fe9b6b2d/94693d58-ed13-4a59-a94c-736f8b44dc8a-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/7TJsjq2QNGpMxpan7J9tsv1710232026-03-26T13:52:07.254ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/aEtv7EGSo3VkN1EyhpWNifhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/b97e7797-dd9a-422b-bf32-f09e16eedd4a.jpgPuerto Rican Solidarity Groups Defy U.S. Blockade on CubaIn the face of Trump's oil blockade on Cuba, a group of solidarity activists from Puerto Rico arrived in Havana last Saturday to deliver medicine and medical equipment to the Salvador Allende Hospital, known as "La Covadonga," in the Cerro municipality. Part of the Nuestra AmĂ©rica Convoy, the Puerto Rican solidarity groups included the Committee for Solidarity with Cuba and the Juan Rius Rivera Brigade. The convoy's arrival was "a ray of light in the middle of the darkness," said Dr. Mylene VĂĄzquez, director of the hospital. "Cuba and Puerto Rico are two wings of the same bird," said SebastiĂĄn Castro, from Committee for Solidarity with Cuba. #cuba #sanctions #solidarity #flotilla #humanitarianaid #humanitariancrisishttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/4e4175bb-e81d-41cd-a149-c2f7b9c6e240/1da2b968-2b15-4ddc-a575-e31c2522e294-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/aEtv7EGSo3VkN1EyhpWNif2035142026-03-26T17:52:12.746ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/g8J93gGiFvcU5P8fD9sxfghttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/d424d90d-3862-445a-88aa-3acc75eefb01.jpgCuban Americans on U.S. Policy: Not in Our Name“Not in our name,” says Danny Valdes, a Cuban American organizer who recently visited the island to bring humanitarian aid and rejects the hard-liner policies imposed by politicians like Marco Rubio. #cuba #sanctions #flotilla #blockade #humanitarianaidhttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/7a8d4150-1994-428c-8a69-a9fc3adcdb47/e505548b-a3fe-4011-9cf1-747d32d5da26-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/g8J93gGiFvcU5P8fD9sxfg680362026-03-27T11:48:49.336ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/puPGyRddwEy4ptsGRXBmELhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/4923257f-0b2d-4cf5-be1d-5c0dbfbddbe1.jpg“This Is Not Charity — It’s Sovereignty”: Colombian Congresswoman on CubaColombian Congresswoman MarĂ­a Fernanda Carrascal argues that Cuba’s crisis is not about charity, but about sovereignty, pressure and the right to survive.

But many people of Cuban origin living in the United States reject the hard-line policies that have ravaged the island’s economy and caused widespread scarcities and hardship. Danny Valdes, a Cuban American born in Miami, recently visited Cuba with the Nuestra AmĂ©rica Convoy to help bring humanitarian aid to the island. “There is a very well organized and powerful right wing Cuban lobby, that even is in the halls of the Congress that gets to determine what U.S. policy is toward Cuba,” said ValdĂ©s. “But we feel like it's a very important time now to say, not in our name.” #cuba #flotilla #sanctions #humanitarianaid #blockade #solidarityhttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/922cba64-d90d-457f-99dd-9dfcc25dd17c/41d58c9f-2296-4e95-8b51-162ac7e69168-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/j3V8K63g6adySjvVGwLEmu2890122026-03-29T11:54:56.738ZYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/6w1t6X1DWHCkgT55362362https://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/dd469efe-7ec0-45ff-b0a4-6e7e069e50bc.jpgKneecap in Cuba: "We Come From a Long Tradition of Musicians Speaking Up”Irish hip-hop group Kneecap performed in Havana as part of the Nuestra AmĂ©rica Convoy’s humanitarian mission. In a press conference, the Belfast trio spoke about why they made the trip, what they witnessed on the streets of Havana and the deep historical bond between Ireland and Cuba. During the press conference, the group experienced a nationwide blackout, the third in less than a month, linked to Cuba’s weakened power grid and fuel shortages under U.S. sanctions. The convoy brought over 20 tons of food and medicine to a country suffocating under decades of the U.S. embargo. But for Kneecap, this was never just about aid. It was about solidarity — the same solidarity that the Irish people received from around the world during their own revolutionary struggle. Walking the streets of Havana, the band was struck by something they recognized immediately: resilience. Despite blackouts, shortages, and relentless external pressure, the Cuban people carry on, refusing to be broken. “They're going about their lives as best they can. I think it's something we relate to,” said Rapper MĂłglaĂ­ Bap, a member of the group. “Even if you totally disagree with the politics of Cuba, punishing everybody in the country is never right
It's not in our nature as Irish people to witness injustice anywhere in the world and stay silent.” #kneecap #cuba #solidarity #havana #humanitarianaid #flotilla #convoyhttps://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/2cae4b5c-26ca-4f63-ae04-41d352f9ba23/642faba8-e0ec-4ff9-bdb7-988d5019eb78-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/6w1t6X1DWHCkgT553623621535162026-03-31T14:51:04.828ZcubakneecapsolidarityhumanitarianaidsanctionsYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/w/8hucfzxEC9Fiqb8PdAwYsHhttps://peertube.world/lazy-static/thumbnails/ac1de3eb-fdc8-4802-8624-488b3f78ccb3.jpgNiki Franco on Cuba: The U.S. Blockade Isn’t AbstractThe deep crisis currently affecting Cuba is a direct consequence of decades of U.S. sanctions, and now it’s taking its most recent form as an oil blockade. Many people in the United States disagree with their government’s policy toward Cuba, including Niki Franco. Franco, a Puerto Rican writer and activist living in the United States, traveled with the Nuestra AmĂ©rica Convoy to deliver humanitarian aid and see what daily life in Cuba is like under these U.S. policies. “I always invite people to learn about Cuba’s history of solidarity with other nations. You can look at any continent and find examples of Cuba helping others,” Niki told Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva FernĂĄndez. During the conversation, Niki reflects on her own responsibility, and that of all U.S. citizens, to understand the connection between U.S. foreign policy and the hardships endured by millions of Cubans.https://cdn.f-h.co//peertube.world-playlists/hls/3afd3f00-9930-46eb-9003-c759636d1b7d/b601d6ab-e7d3-48ae-a905-18045511e9f8-master.m3u8https://peertube.world/videos/embed/8hucfzxEC9Fiqb8PdAwYsH360532026-04-02T15:56:28.348ZcubasanctionssolidarityblockadehumanitarianaidYESVideos about Cuba from 'Belly of the Beast'NOhttps://peertube.world/c/cubaanalysis_podcasts/videoshttps://peertube.world/c/cuba_botb_videos/videoshttps://peertube.world/a/peter_link/video-channels
