Latest News from Cuba

The Cuban regime's objective in announcing military deaths is to foment terror. Following the deaths of six Cuban military personnel in less than two weeks, a political analyst said that such events show that there are "fissures" within the Castro regime and that the public announcements of such deaths are aimed at promoting terror on the part of the dictatorship.

Cuban political scientist Julio M. Shiling said that "it is no coincidence" that since the popular uprising that began on July 11, six generals from the Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior have died.

"This is becoming more and more like an Agatha Christie novel," Shiling told The Epoch Times. "It's no coincidence all these numbers of people dead and the disappearance of any physical evidence of their bodies."

Fourth Cuban general dies in 8 days. The Ministry of Armed Forces of the Cuban regime (MINFAR) announced on Monday the death of reserve general Manuel Eduardo Lastres Pacheco - making him the fourth high-ranking officer to die in recent days on the island.

According to the communiqué read live on Cuban state television's "Noticiero de Mediodía", Lastres' body was cremated, however, the note sent by MINFAR did not give details of the cause of death or the age of the military officer.

The regime pointed out that Lastres joined Fidel Castro's guerrilla in 1957 and was under the orders of Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

This new announcement comes days after the regime reported the death of Major General Ruben Martinez Puente. As in the case of Lastres, the dictatorship did not report the causes of his death and said that his body would be cremated.

Political scientist Julio M. Shiling denounces the impunity of socialism and the passivity of the United States in responding to crises such as those in Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua.

The Iberosphere faces the challenge of overthrowing three socialist dictatorships without strong U.S. support.

The brutal wave of repression in Cuba against demonstrators demanding answers to the socio-political and economic crisis on the island has forced the White House administration to focus its attention on a troubled region that has not been among its priorities, exacerbated in the last year and a half by pandemics, migration and repression by authoritarian regimes accused of committing crimes against humanity.
