    I returned today from Cuba for 5 days. This video reads as highly polished propaganda. Yes, it has its beautiful moments which are alongside frequent garbage piles and abject poverty. I am glad i went, but i would probably not feel comfortable taking my family members.

    Most of the comments on this video are 5–8 years old. Tourists are often fascinated by Cuba in their own way, but as a Cuban myself, I can assure you that what many see as nostalgic charm is, in reality, the reflection of more than 60 years of dictatorship, communism, and severe limitations.
    Cuba is no longer the joyful place it once was. The people of Cuba are suffering—dying in the middle of pandemics without access to medications, doctors, or nurses, as the government sends medical professionals abroad for profit. Hospitals for ordinary Cubans are filthy, lacking running water, with toilets clogged with waste and even vermin. In Old Havana, buildings collapse after heavy rains, taking the lives of innocent children, while the government turns a blind eye and instead builds luxury hotels despite the decline in tourism.
    There is little to no public transportation for working people, frequent blackouts, and food that is both scarce and unaffordable. Families struggle to feed their children, while the government continues to suppress freedom of speech—not only for its citizens but also for visitors. Rising economic hardship has fueled the growth of gangs and violence.
    Cuba has become a theatre where the actors are exhausted—behind the scenes, people are hungry, not just for food but for freedom. Do not support this government. Instead, speak privately with the Cuban people, listen to their pain and their sorrow, and, if you can, offer help. Above all, admire their endurance and resilience.

    Havana, Cuba, boasts some stunning real estate. During my visit, I couldn't help but imagine the potential for developers to transform these properties into beautiful condos with a colonial vide and gorgeous boutique hotels, potentially making them some of the most sought-after in the Caribbean. Additionally, Cuba's beaches are among the finest I've experienced in the region. I couldn't help but wonder how different Cuba would look today if the US Embargo never happened and the Communist Party was more supportive of its people, economy and infrastructure.

    As someone who was born in Cuba and left 45 years ago seeking freedom, I can tell you that the Cuban government is nothing to romanticize. Cuba was once one of the most beautiful and advanced countries in Latin America. My family would have never left if Fidel Castro had not come to power. We had everything. Havana was a beacon of progress—the first automobile to ever come to Latin America arrived there. Cuba was the second country in the world to have color television, and Havana was once known as the ‘Paris of the Caribbean.’

    But communism destroyed all of that. The Cuban government silences opposition, imprisons the innocent, and forces its people into poverty and hunger. It reduced a flourishing island into a place where basic freedoms are denied and survival is a daily struggle. Supporting that regime is not supporting Cuban culture or its people; it’s supporting systemic oppression and the ideology that ruined a once-thriving nation.

    You can’t understand this reality unless you’ve lived it. Cuba’s greatness was crushed under the weight of communism, and anyone who stands by that system endorses the suffering and betrayal of an entire nation. That is the undeniable truth.
