Cuba has a big energy crisis. The country needs oil. Havana has no light for 22 hours. The government says: The oil is gone.

Many people protest in Havana. They burn trash. They block the streets. They say: Give us light. The police watch the protest. It is quiet.

The USA stops oil ships. The USA uses sanctions. That means: They punish Cuba. Cuba gets no help from other lands.

A man from the CIA visits Havana. He talks to the government. They talk about police and safety.

The USA wants to help. They offer money. They want to send goods. Cuba says: Stop the blockade of fuel.
