OP, I appreciate you posting these stories, but I would ask you if you wouldn’t mind finding a different, less overall biased source.
Voice of America is called that for a very good reason. They claim to have journalistic independence, but they are a U.S. government news source. They are run by the same “independent” group that is funded by congress and sends American propaganda to Cuba, so their claim of independence and lack of bias is really hard to buy.
