6. Cuba
Raul Castro
When his brother Fidel Castro got too old to rule the country, he decided to cede the power to his younger brother, Raul Castro, making sure that the regime will remain within the Castro family. The biggest issue within Cuba that ranks 6th in our list of countries with dictatorships today (or on their way to dictatorships), and probably the best portrayal of the dictatorship is the fact that freedom of media and speech is something that people may only dream about. However, there is a slight hope for a change, since Raul Castro said he would not run the elections in 2018.
