A young Cuban man has been missing for 15 days after failing to return home from an authorized leave from the Compulsory Military Service (SMO) at a unit in Havana. The absence of news regarding this young man, whose identity remains undisclosed by his family, has prompted a social media appeal for information, urging public cooperation in locating him.
Yuneisy Suárez Corchete, claiming to be the young man's godmother, shared a photograph and sought assistance in spreading awareness about the situation. "This is my godson," she stated. "He's serving in the military in Havana, was granted leave, and hasn't been heard from in 15 days. For God's sake, what's happening? If anyone sees him, they can contact me or his mother. The family is in despair."
According to her, even the commanders at the military unit where he serves are unaware of his whereabouts. It seems his mobile phone is also turned off. The family has provided the contact number 56341780 for anyone with information to reach out.
This disappearance adds to a growing list of recent cases in Cuba. For instance, a 20-year-old young man vanished while traveling in a private vehicle from Bayamo to Havana. Similarly, a resident of Ciego de Ávila is searching for his mother, Mabel García Corrales, 54, missing for five months. In Morón, Ciego de Ávila, the elderly Heriberto Llánez García has been missing for 22 days, leaving his family without answers.
