Thousands of Cubans take to the streets to confront the Cuban Archipelago.
Cubans took to the streets in cities across the desperately impoverished police state to protest the island nation's brutal 62-year-old communist dictatorship in what are said to be the largest public demonstrations against the regime in decades.
Thousands of Cubans in at least 16 cities from Havana all the way to Santiago de Cuba chanted "Libertad," the Spanish word for freedom, as they demanded an end to government oppression.
"The American flag, popularized as a protest symbol in Cuba by dissident Daniel Llorente, made multiple appearances among Cubans on Sunday. Video authenticated by the Miami broadcaster AméricaTeve showed a group of Cubans carrying an American flag through the streets of Havana on Sunday while chanting 'freedom!' Videos taken by Cubans on social media and distributed through other Latin American news organizations also show the presence of the U.S. flag," Breitbart reported.
A video showing Cubans flipping over a police car and mounting it in triumph also made the rounds, though it is not clear where in the country it was made.
Julie J. Chung, Acting Assistant Secretary for the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, mumbled some nonsense on Twitter on July 11 at 5:24 p.m. about Cubans exercising "Their right to peaceful assembly" to protest COVID-19 and "Medicine shortages," and praising a charity drive, or something.
"Peaceful protests are growing in #Cuba as the Cuban people exercise their right to peaceful assembly to express concern about rising COVID cases/deaths & medicine shortages. We commend the numerous efforts of the Cuban people mobilizing donations to help neighbors in need," Chung tweeted.
