Very interesting. However, mangrove "swamp" can not be in the interior but only be in a coastal region of Cuba as mangrove requires salt water.

IN fact such terms are abused to serve the self interests of powers.

Democracy, human rights, authoritarianism, totalitarian regimes, etc, are exploited buzz words for political bias and narratives.
