Cuba Faces Economic Collapse After Maduro's Ouster

Cuba is going through a very tough time right now.

The country's economy is in a bad state, which means people are having a hard time getting food, medicine, and electricity.

The government says the problems are partly because of the long-standing trade restrictions from the United States.

But experts also say that the government's own planning and management issues are making things worse.

People are struggling to buy basic things like eggs, and many are leaving the country to find better opportunities.

The situation is so bad that some people are even cooking with firewood because there isn't enough electricity.

The government is trying to fix things, but it's a big challenge.

After the US capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, familiar signs of repression have gripped Caracas.

Soldiers and pro-government motorcycle gangs known as colectivos roamed the streets, and journalists were detained.

The scenes suggest that little has changed in how power is enforced in Venezuela, even with the Trump administration asserting control.

Residents lined up outside grocery stores and gas stations amid worries about the nation’s future.

Millions of Venezuelans fled economic hardship under Maduro’s reign, hundreds of thousands of whom sought asylum in the US.
