Cuba Suffers Yet Another Nationwide Blackout Cuba's latest nationwide power outage has left 10 million people without electricity, including the capital city Havana.
This is the fifth major blackout this year alone, and it serves as a stark reminder of the island nation's ongoing struggle to assert its sovereignty in the face of decades long economic and diplomatic pressure from Washington.
The series of rolling blackouts can be attributed to aging infrastructure and the US imposed oil blockade that has severely curtailed Cuba's access to fuel.
