Cubans are following the Venezuela story very closely

Have you spoken with your Cuban parents or good friends about Venezuela?  

The scenes from Caracas, and other cities, are hitting Cubans in the US very hard.  We feel the agony and pain of all of those demonstrators and people in the streets.  We ourselves in the faces of those men and women down there.

Speaking of Venezuela, Fausta has a great article today: "Venezuela Don't you get wearyVenezuela: “Don’t you get weary!”
Fausta reminds us that Venezuela is at crossroads:

"Today there’s a women’s demonstration taking place. Tomorrow the Organization of American States will be meeting on Venezuela – I doubt they will denounce the regime’s abuses. Jimmy Carter wants to go to Venezuela, Next week Carnival celebrations are scheduled but the opposition has already said no to the Carnival.
Venezuela’s regime has no ace-in-the-hole monetary allies; there are signs that some of the military may side with the protestors. Yet, things will have to get a lot worse before they get better.
Venezuela’s opposition, in order to be effective, must continue its struggle. Their motto, so far, is “He who tires, loses.” As Jay Nordlinger said,
The Castros and the Chávezes and the Maduros and their apologists never tire — ever. Their opponents must not either, if they can possibly help it.
