Cuban dictatorship earning billions from international sale of slave labor

The Castro dictatorship are modern-day slave masters who have turned the enslavement of the Cuban people into a multi-billion dollar enterprise. As a government that earned a Tier 3 rating (the worst rating) in the U.S. State Department’s Trafficking in Persons Report for 2013, it should not come as a surprise that Cuba’s dictatorship is reaping billions of dollars from their international slave trade business. While mismanagement and corruption have depleted the island’s natural resources, Cuba still has 11-million slaves the Castro dictatorship can and does sell for cash on the open market.

Doctors reap in billions as Cuba’s top export

http://www.menafn.com/updates/pr/photo_1371664227631-1-1.jpg(MENAFN – AFP) Cuba is out to boost its top export, an ever-more critical pillar of its economy. And it’s not sugar: hired-out Cuban doctors earn the Communist government over six billion dollars a year.

Medical services exports “are now the leading source of hard-currency income for the nation, and have great potential to keep growing,” Foreign Trade Minister Rodrigo Malmierca said at a recent event.

About 40,000 Cubans doctors are working on contracts in 66 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

The next big-ticket client could be Brazil — the booming South American giant is considering hiring 6,000 Cuban doctors to help cover its health care staff shortage.

It may be somewhat surprising that Cuba — once known for its exports like sugar, cigars, citrus fruits and rum — now has four main pillars of its state-controlled economy.

[…]

The Cuban government acts as a middleman in the transactions, hiring out their medical staff to foreign countries.

The amounts Havana charges for the services of their workers are not made public, but payment, in hard currency, is for significantly more than what the doctors are paid personally. The government keeps the difference between its contracting price and what it pays the Cuban worker monthly.
