    About our Cuba News

    Latest news on Cuba, providing updates on politics, economy, US relations, Havana and developments in this Caribbean socialist republic.

    Cuba, an island nation of over 10 million people, remains one of the world's few socialist states under the leadership of President Miguel Díaz-Canel and the Communist Party. Located just 90 miles from Florida, Cuba's relationship with the United States continues to be complex, whilst it maintains strong ties with countries like China and Venezuela.

    The country faces significant economic challenges amidst ongoing US sanctions and domestic reforms. Recent data from the Cuban Observatory of Human Rights indicates that 88% of Cubans live in extreme poverty, whilst the government continues efforts to modernise its economy through limited private enterprise reforms and cryptocurrency initiatives. A surge in emigration has seen nearly 250,000 Cubans leave for the United States in 2022 alone.

    Despite economic hardships, Cuba maintains a rich cultural heritage, from its world-renowned music and dance traditions to its distinctive architecture and cuisine. The country's healthcare system, though strained by resource limitations, continues to produce medical innovations and send doctors abroad through its medical diplomacy programme. Tourism, a vital source of foreign currency, has been showing signs of recovery.

    Cuba's journey from Spanish colony to socialist state has profoundly shaped its present. Following the 1959 revolution led by Fidel Castro, the country established close ties with the Soviet Union and survived the challenging "Special Period" after its collapse. The historic 2014 thaw in US relations under President Obama was partially reversed under subsequent administrations, though some reforms remain in place.

    Our NewsNow feed provides comprehensive coverage of Cuba from diverse sources, offering insights into its political developments, economic reforms, cultural achievements, and social changes. Whether you're interested in policy shifts, cultural events, or understanding the daily realities of life in Cuba, our feed keeps you informed with reliable, up-to-date news from this fascinating Caribbean nation.
