Shortage of water prompts protest
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Cuba - August 10 (Rosa
María Montoya, APLO / www.cubanet.org)
- Residents of the neighborhood known as
Alturas de Ciudamar recently went into the
streets with empty pails to protest a water
shortage that has lasted more than 40 days.
Some of the protesters hung up posters,
including one which said: "Terrorism
isn't just placing bombs but also killing
a people with calamities."
The protest started at 5 p.m. and by 9
p.m. water tankers were on the street distributing
water.
Residents thought the quick response to
their protests was due in part to the importance
of the area, where the Motel Versalles is
located. It houses patients from Venezuela
who are recovering from medical treatment.
