Why did the Cubans take to the streets, but in unheard protests? Coronavirus pandemic News
Habanan, Cuba – On Monday morning, October 10, the streets of the Havana neighborhood were cleared.
The only sign of the violence of the previous night was the old men in ragged work clothes digging the last dust from the surface of the road, leaving only the pieces of gray where the thrown bricks had fallen.
