With recent mass protests which resulted in the death and injury of several people, it is clear that the situation is at a boiling point, and an uprising or civil war may very well be brewing. In any case, the people of Cuba are crying out loud for help and freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/patrickcarpen.com\/our-world\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/cuban-protests.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"553\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/patrickcarpen.com\/our-world\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/cuban-protests.jpg?resize=553%2C960&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/patrickcarpen.com\/our-world\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/cuban-protests.jpg?w=553&amp;ssl=1 553w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/patrickcarpen.com\/our-world\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/cuban-protests.jpg?resize=173%2C300&amp;ssl=1 173w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A photo from the nationwide July 11 protests in which Cubans took to the streets to shout &#8220;Down with the Dictatorship.&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 1959, communist dictator Fidel Castro and his successors have maintained a stranglehold on the system of government in Cuba and run the country like a family estate.

If it continues down this path, the patience of the people of Cuba is likely to be exhausted and a military revolution may very well erupt in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cuban government has been accused of severe human rights abuse, extra-judicial killings, and torture involving the state security apparatus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/patrickcarpen.com\/our-world\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/cuban-society.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"678\" height=\"882\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/patrickcarpen.com\/our-world\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/cuban-society.jpg?resize=678%2C882&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/patrickcarpen.com\/our-world\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/cuban-society.jpg?resize=787%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 787w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/patrickcarpen.com\/our-world\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/cuban-society.jpg?resize=231%2C300&amp;ssl=1 231w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/patrickcarpen.com\/our-world\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/cuban-society.jpg?resize=768%2C999&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/patrickcarpen.com\/our-world\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/cuban-society.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A Cuban artist created this photo in an attempt to symbolize the present Cuban society.
