Thousands of people took to the streets across Cuba this weekend to protest the Caribbean country’s economic hardship and handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The size of the protests are a rare occurrence in Cuba, which has been controlled by a communist government for decades. pic.twitter.com/o7IgtqWL2s
