Protesters in Cuba took to the streets for a second night Friday, decrying delays in fully restoring electricity three days after Hurricane Ian knocked out power across the island.
People protest asking for the restoration of electrical service after four days of blackout due to the devastation of Hurricane Ian in Bacuranao, Cuba, Friday, Sept. 30, 2022.
Masiel Pereira, a housewife, said that “the only thing I ask is that they restore the current for my children.”A neighbor, Yunior Velásquez, lamented that “all the food is about to be lost” because there was no power for refrigerators. Power was restored in some parts of the country the next day, but other areas were left without service, including in the capital.
Alp Toker, director of London-based Netblocks, said the blackout in internet service on Thursday and Friday appeared different from an internet outage that occurred soon after Ian hit. Experts said the total blackout showed the vulnerability of Cuba’s power grid and warned that it will require time and sources — things the country doesn’t have — to fix the problem.
