Cubans struggle as power not fully restored after days of blackout

Quick Summary:

The failure of the Antonio Guiteras plant on Friday, which caused the collapse of the island's whole system, was just the latest in a series of problems with energy distribution in a country where electricity has been restricted and rotated to different regions at different times of the day.

Some neighbourhoods had electricity restored in Cuba's capital, where 2 million people live, but most of Havana remained dark.

Many Cubans were waiting in anguish on Sunday as electricity on much of the island has yet to be totally restored after days of blackout.
