🇨🇺 Cuba & Caribbean — Live US-Cuba Tension Map & OSINT Monitor
SOUTHCOM deployments, foreign bases and Caribbean crisis signals, tracked on one map.
450+ events tracked · 11 sources · bilingual ES/EN pipeline · USA · SOUTHCOM vs Cuba · FAROpen the live Cuba Survey map →
The Caribbean has re-emerged as a strategic theater: US Southern Command naval activity around the island, reported Russian and Chinese intelligence and military footholds, Venezuelan alignment with Havana, mass-migration pressure and an accelerating energy crisis inside Cuba. Global Conflict Awareness tracks the theater's verified security events on a single interactive map.
The Cuba theater ingests eleven sources across Spanish and English — from OnCuba and El Nacional to BBC Mundo, France 24 and Caribbean regional press — with a bilingual filter tuned to separate security-relevant events from cultural and sports coverage. Events are classified as US-SOUTHCOM or Cuban-aligned actions.
Coverage extends beyond the island to the wider strategic picture: Venezuela and Nicaragua developments, Guantanamo Bay, Florida Straits incidents, and the sanctions-and-embargo dynamic — all translated into 17 languages and complemented by geofenced citizen reports across the Caribbean basin.

Frequently asked questions
Why monitor Cuba as a conflict theater?
Because great-power competition has returned to the Caribbean: foreign bases, naval deployments and internal instability create genuine escalation potential that mainstream coverage treats only episodically.
Are Spanish-language sources included?
Yes — the majority of the theater's sources are Spanish-language (Cuban, Venezuelan and regional), filtered bilingually and translated into all 17 platform languages.
Does the map cover Venezuela?
Yes. Venezuelan military and political-security developments are part of the theater, given Caracas's strategic alignment with Havana.
How is noise filtered out?
A hardened bilingual keyword system requires security context before an item is mapped — sports, culture and routine economic news are excluded automatically.
