Today, on April 3rd-2022, this is a Cuban family riding on a Havana street...as reported by OnCuba News, an honest & respected independent news source on the island that also has an office in Miami that reports honestly about Little Havana. All their lives these parents and children have tried to survive amid the genocidal U. S. Embargo that generations of severely propagandized Americans have been obligated to ignore since 1962...apparently because it benefits a few key very rich and very powerful Cuban-Americans in Miami and in the United States Congress.
Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel is currently engaged in a massive effort to revive the Cuban economy...at least enough for Cuban families to exist amid the U. S. Embargo/Blockade. Diaz-Balart's most fervent plan, as indicated by the headline above, is to create huge voluntary projects designed to produce products, especially food, on the island.
Thus on this first weekend of April-2022, President Diaz-Canel is shown above conducting a volunteer work session.
In this photo on Sunday -- April 3rd-2022 -- that is President Diaz-Canel, in the red hat, tilling the fertile Cuban soil himself as an example to the other eager volunteers.
In recent months, day-after-day President Diaz-Canel has conducted sessions with meetings large and small across the island to seek Cuban volunteers that will begin to grow food and other products. He repeatedly said, "The revolution has failed to produce the food and other necessities we need, and the genocide the Blockade wants to impose on us includes blocking us from getting the machines and fertilizers we need. But we must, as volunteers, overcome that. To get the milk we need for our children, we even today buy powered milk from New Zealand and absorb such shipping costs from such faraway nations. The nearby United States won't sell it to us because the purpose of the Blockade since 1962 has been to starve us into submission. We must volunteer so we won't have to ever submit to such greed and brutality."
The headline above on April 2-2022 shows that President Diaz-Canel has found enough money to renovate and greatly improve the production of the island's Powered Milk Factory in Camaguey, Cuba. He has convinced most Cubans that producing its own powdered milk is better than buying it from faraway New Zealand.
Cuba is also offering incentives for Cuban farmers to raise more pigs...and chickens...and then profit from creating or expanding such businesses.
Meanwhile, as Cuban families appear to be emerging from the pandemic thanks to Cuba's own COVID-19 vaccines, emerging from the forever U. S. EMBARGO is something everyday citizens on the island struggle with every day...as more-and-more Cubans try to reach and cross over the chaotic southern U. S. border along with millions of other would-be hopefuls entering the United States.
As President Diaz-Canel -- Cuba's former popular Education Minister -- crisscrosses the island talking to Cubans in April of 2022, he is stressing this theme: "The expansion of the Blockade by both the Trump and Biden regimes took advantage of the pandemic to destroy us but we are surviving that and we will also survive their effort to starve us. The money from Washington to create and entice dissidents to harm us has increased dramatically since Trump and Biden ended the Obama efforts to treat us humanely. With Trump and Biden we have seen more-and-more young and talented Cubans be funded to dangerously leave Cuba or, why still here, to terrorize us, but almost all of the young Cubans I meet and talk to want to stay here and join the volunteer programs to help the homeland that we see springing up all over the island. We will continue to grow those programs every day from now on, and in that manner we have the resolve and the talent to combat the longest and cruelest blockade any small nation has ever encountered."
