The aging Communists still have an iron grasp on Cuba. The current leader is Fidel Castro's brother, Raul and he's 93. In the past few years the entire economy has tanked and vast numbers of Cuban's have fled the decaying society, mostly to the US. It's one of the few remaining Communist countries left in the world.
"According to the official figures made public for the first time, Cuba’s population went from 11,181,595 on Dec. 31, 2021, to 10,055,968 on December 2023. The emigration of 1,011,269 Cubans was the main factor contributing to a massive fall in Cuba’s population by the end of 2023,"

Agricultural production has collapsed over the past few years.
"Alexis RodrÃguez Pérez, a senior official at the Ministry of Agriculture, said the country produced 15,200 tons of beef in the first six months of this year. As a comparison, Cuba produced 172,300 tons of beef in 2022, already down 40% from 289,100 in 1989.
Pork production fared even worse. The country produced barely 3,800 tons in the first six months of this year, compared to 149,000 tons in all of 2018. Almost every other sector reported losses and failed production goals.

The end is nigh for the evil Communist regime.

Cuba is not a free country. From Amnesty International:
Repression of dissent continued as activists, political opponents and
journalists were harassed, persecuted and imprisoned. Human rights
defenders faced obstacles and attacks, and some continued to be
incarcerated without due process. The economic and humanitarian crisis
continued with shortages of food, fuel and electricity. Discrimination
remained prevalent, affecting Afro-descendants, women and girls, LGBTI
people, political dissidents, and members of religious communities.
