Today -- on August 8th, 2022 -- this is one of the most viewed photos in the world. It was taken by Yamil Lage, the great photojournalist in Cuba for the Paris-based AFP News Agency. It shows two Cubans looking across the bay in Matanzas, 65 miles from Havana, where four days ago the latest explosion and fire that has rocked the island by destroying vital oil tanks...further devastating the already devastated Cuban economy.
Today -- August 8th, 2022 -- the passionate Cuban-American professor Carlos Lazo is back in Cuba at the scene of the devastating explosion and fire four days ago that destroyed vital oil tanks in Matanzas, 65 miles east of Havana. Carlos is the USA's most ubiquitous Cuban fighting desperately to help the Cuban people on the island, using his Bridges of Love foundation, Social Media, and other forums. Above from Matanzas today...on Facebook...he is also lambasting Miami's U. S. Senator Marco Rubio who is currently asking the FBI "to investigate" Carlos.
Two of the world's top News Agencies -- London-based Reuters and Paris-based AFP -- believe that the latest extremely massive Explosion and Fire in Cuba is, indeed, a big deal...and yet another dire blow to the Cuban people already reeling from food shortages, medical shortages, blackouts, etc., from the Twin Perils of the U. S. Embargo/Blockade and the COVID pandemic. Meanwhile, Miami's exalted U. S. Senator Marco Rubio is urging the FBI to investigate Carlos Lazo, the Cuban-American professor who is devoting his life to trying to make sure that Cuban families on the island don't starve!! Today -- on August 8th, 2021 -- the Reuters headline shown above tells the world the new turmoil Cuba has faced in the past three days since a massive explosion at the vital power tanks in Matanzas, 65 miles east of Havana.
The Reuters article today explains {see above} that "Mexico and Venezuela" quickly responded to the latest disaster that direly affects every Cuban family on the island.
After other recent explosions and fires in places like Mariel, Havana, etc., Cuba did not ask for international assistance, but this time Cuba did ask for help. The London-based Reuters and the Paris-based AFP News Agency -- as shown above -- shows and tells the world why, this time, Cuba did ask for help. But, for the most part the U. S. media, as usual, doesn't seem to care.
And, meanwhile, Miami's U. S. Senator Marco Rubio is urging the FBI to investigate the awesomely kind and decent Cuban-American professor Carlos Lazo who loves Cuban families on the island...where his mother still lives.
Apparently Senator Rubio wants the FBI to charge Carlos Lazo with...helping Cuban families from starving or being deprived from medicine and other necessities. Carlos founded an energetic organization -- BRIDGES OF LOVE/PUENTES DE AMOR -- that flies planeloads of food and medicine to the island, as shown above. But, OF COURSE, don't expect the pusillanimous U. S. media to ask Senator Rubio about his motives for instructing the FBI to investigate Carlos Lazo.
Meanwhile...the Matanzas fire.
