The sound of freedom: Cuba’s regime is running out of time — now the US must act

A Cuban night is no longer quiet. It is filled with the metallic rhythm of thousands of families striking spoons against empty pots in the darkness. This is the sound of a funeral for a failed ideology. The brutal communist regime imposed on Cuba by the Castro family is collapsing in real time. Its economy is in free fall, its people are hungry and the dictatorship is running out of money and fuel.

After more than six decades of repression, the corrupt regime is weaker today than at any point in my lifetime.
