This Reuters photo shows Luis Manuel Otero Alcantara at his home in Havana. As the island's most famed anti-Cuba Cuban, he is currently in jail. Next month in October of 2024 he will likely be the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in ceremonies in Norway.
Today on September 20th of 2024 above are the Top Four Cuban Headlines flashing around the world. As you can see, Cuba is currently experiencing the most dire affects of the six-decade-old U. S. EMBARGO of the island. Thus the headlines shown above reveal that "Cuba is out of supplies and out of ideas." and "73 countries demand that the U. S. exclude Cuba from the Supporters of Terrorism List" that the U. S. uses to tighten the effects of the Embargo; and "Some Cubans Depend On Sugar Water As Food Shortages Bite." and "Jailed Cuban Dissident leader Luis Manukel Otero Alcantara wins Norwegian peace award."
The Reuters news agency based in London is telling the world today that the Norwegian human rights foundation has given Alcantara its top prize "for his fearless opposition to authoritarianism through art" and he will also soon receive the world's most coveted peace prize. And as Reuters points out, that designation in Norway this week means that next month in October the dissident Luis Alcantara will also LIKELY win the famed Nobel Peace Prize too.
Of course, the Peace Prize Lovers in Norway love Cuban dissidents like Luis Manuel Otero Alcantara but they don't give a damn about Cuban mothers like the woman shown above sitting on a sidewalk trying to survive the effects of the power blackout that keeps her home dark while she alsso worries about not having enough food and safe water for her children. But Norway and far too many other rich nations in this world simply don't care about the foreign-fueled plights faced by generations of Cuban families, with 2024 reaching the top limits of this woman's despair.
For sure, Cuba is the largest and arguably the most beautiful island nation in the Caribbean. But Cuba is not allowed to have any friends although it is surrounded by a lot of neighbors. The blockaded island's northern neighbor, the USA, influences the rest of the Caribbean and the rest of the world when it comes to Cuba. So a Cuban mother sitting on a sidewalk wondering about what's next for her children is not supposed to receive any help or even any sympathy, even from the island's neighbors.
