AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoEnergy Collapse: Cuba’s government has confirmed it is “out of fuel oil” and “out of diesel,” with Havana blackouts now running 20–22 hours a day and electricity sometimes returning for just 90 minutes, while hospitals, food supply and transport feel the strain. U.S. Pressure Escalates: The crisis is tied to Washington’s oil blockade after the U.S. took control of Venezuela’s oil industry, and now the pressure campaign is turning sharper: CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s rare Havana visit is paired with reports that the U.S. Justice Department is preparing to indict Raúl Castro over the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown. Civil Defense & Daily Survival: Cuba is also quietly distributing “Protect, Resist, Survive, and Win” guidance for “enemy attacks,” urging emergency kits, first aid, and attention to civil defense alerts. Human Impact: The WHO warns the energy breakdown has delayed 100,000 surgeries and raises risks of dengue, malaria and other outbreaks. Local Adaptation: Amid the blackout grind, Cuba is pushing solar panels for universities and prioritizing fuel, food and medicines in transport cuts.
