A young Cuban identified on TikTok as @yissi_glez shared a video in which, tearfully, she expressed her desperation over the uncertainty that—she claims—is currently being experienced in Cuba. The video has generated numerous reactions of support and debate among users both inside and outside the Island.
"I have never posted a video like this, but you really should make a decision about what you are going to do with Cuba," she begins, visibly affected. The young woman describes the situation as "inhuman" due to the lack of clarity about the country's future and the feeling that everything is in a kind of permanent pause.
In his testimony, he insists that the most difficult part is not just the crisis, but the uncertainty. "Cuba is in a bad situation, everything is on hold. No one knows what to expect. We don't know if things will continue the same, if it will come to an end, or if they will remove those people," he states.
The young woman emphasizes that, although reality may be unfavorable, having certainties would at least allow people to make decisions about their lives. "If things are bad and are going to stay bad, you look for options and solutions. But you don’t know anything. Uncertainty is the worst," she points out.
In a particularly emotional moment, he questions the lack of clear definitions regarding the country's direction: "They should just make a decision and say whether they are going to step in and do it, or if they are not going and will just stay as is... but at least let us know what to expect."
The video has been interpreted by many users as a reflection of the accumulated fatigue from years of economic crisis, prolonged blackouts, food shortages, and a political situation that leaves a large part of the population in a constant state of uncertainty.
His testimony resonates with the feelings of many Cubans, both on and off the Island, who express frustration at the lack of structural changes and the absence of clear short-term prospects, while they continue to seek alternatives to survive during one of the most complex periods the country has faced in decades.
