The poor Cuban people๐Ÿ˜”*




Cuba is experiencing a nationwide blackout after its main energy plant failed, knocking out power to its 10 million people.


Its power grid collapsed at around 11:00 (15:00 GMT) on Friday, the energy ministry announced on social media.


Grid officials said they did not know how long it would take to restore power.

The island has suffered months of lengthy blackouts, prompting the prime minister to declare an "energy emergency" on Thursday.

Friday's total blackout came after the Antonio Guiteras power plant in Matanzas - the largest on the island - went offline.
