Street protests erupted across Cuba on July 11, 2021, with crowds of Cubans demonstrating against food scarcity, medicine shortages and economic misery in their island nation. Some demanded freedom and the end of dictatorship - anti-government sentiments that were soon echoed in the United States by Cuban-Americans and politicians, including President Joe Biden.
In a televised address, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel blamed the spontaneous demonstrations - by far the largest mass protests in decades - on U.S. interference and threatened a battle in the streets. Protesters say hundreds were arrested.
