'The violence is getting out of hand': Crime grips Cuba's streets
It was called the safest country in the world but do Cubans still feel safe?
The late leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, famously called Cuba 鈥渢he safest country in the world鈥�. But more and more Cubans are starting to speak out about crime on their streets.
And increased violence isn鈥檛 the only problem it is facing. Blackouts, food shortages and a lack of water are all fuelling a mass exodus from the country.
On this episode, Caitr铆ona Perry speaks to our Cuba correspondent Will Grant about what its rising crime rate reveals about life on this struggling island.
