More tragedy in Haiti, this time at the Citadel fortress in northern Haiti at an event organized by TikTok influencers. A local photographer @Amarchenry tried to warn of danger. He posted this video of the crush at the entrance... facebook.com/reel/942366492…

The prisoners I spoke to had committed non-political crimes like armed robbery and fraud.

Could There Be a Popular Uprising in Cuba? There is no organized opposition on the island because many critics of the regime have fled. But anti-government protests have been growing. With @anniecorreal nytimes.com/2026/04/03/wor…

#Haiti Press freedom groups are calling on Haitian authorities to fully investigate the suspected abduction and deaths of two journalists who have been missing for two weeks. Journalists Junior Célestin of Radio Télévision Mégastar and Osnel Espérance of Radio Uni FM were abducted on March 13 by armed men from the gang coalition Viv Ansanm (Living Together) while reporting in the capital, Port-au-Prince, according to Radio UNI FM. Relatives have demanded their immediate release. The National Network of Haitian Journalists (RENAJOUH) said Sunday it had confirmed the execution of Espérance and Célestin on the same day they went missing. According to RENAJOUH, they were killed by the Baz 5 Segond armed group, led by Izo, one of several sanctioned gang leaders. The Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression at the Organization of American States (OAS), last week condemned the incident. “The office ... calls on national authorities to comply with their international obligations to prevent violence, protect journalists, and investigate, prosecute and hold those responsible accountable, in accordance with Inter-American standards on freedom of expression,” the rapporteur’s office said. Between 2018 and 2025, the rapporteur’s office documented at least 17 kidnappings, two enforced disappearances, 13 armed attacks against journalists and six attacks on media outlets, placing more than 41 media professionals at risk. rezonodwes.com/2026/03/le-ren…

"This is not a policy change ... As the president said last night, we allowed this ship to reach Cuba in order to provide humanitarian needs to the Cuban people. These decisions are being made on a case-by-case basis. And as the administration has said, Cuba's non-functional economy cannot be fixed unless they undergo dramatic political and leadership change. But there has been no formal change in with respect to sanction.policy." Question: So you could expect more tankers to go to? "Again, these decisions are being made on a case-by-case basis right now."

@EricSchmittNYT @trbrtc @ManInHabana @viaSimonRomero President Trump has just confirmed our reporting. “We don’t mind having somebody get a boatload, because they need— they have to survive,” he said on AF1 tonight. “If a country wants to send some oil into Cuba right now, I have no problem with that. Whether it’s Russia or not.”

Acabo de ver el documental de @ErnestoFundora sobre Luis Manuel Alcántara, 'Estamos Conectados,' es un brillante trabajo. El director, Fundora, insiste que es "documental, y no arte," no concuerdo, es ambas cosas. Felicidades, y seguimos pensando en Luisma y esperamos su rápida y ansiada liberación. #Cuba

The dispute between the Trump administration and the media has moved beyond issues of bias, writes Julio Ligorria. "The tone coming from Washington suggests something else: officials are challenging the legitimacy of the institutions doing the reporting." prnewsonline.com/what-wartime-p…

While energy infrastructure received less than 10% of total investment in recent years, the tourism sector absorbed nearly 40% of national investment between 2019 and 2024. This reflects a policy priority for hotel construction and tourism at the expense of other key sectors.

Renewables remain marginal, though expanding: Despite plans for an energy transition, renewable sources accounted for only about 10% of total electricity generation in 2025.

New study says Cuba only capable of meeting 50% of its daily electricity demand in peak hours. Electricity generation fell 25% between 2019-25. Cuba’s main thermoelectric plants have been operating for more than 30 years. @CubaStudyGroup cubastudygroup.org/white_papers/w…
