Niger

Executive summary

Cuba's medical cooperation with Niger began in the early 1990s, expanding through the Programa Integral de Salud (2000–2023) until the brigade dwindled to roughly seven collaborators by mid-2023, with no reports since confirming its inactivity. Discrepancies between official narratives and independent testimonies emerge clearly, with 100% of accounts confirming falsification of medical statistics to inflate mission outcomes. Documented labour violations include forced registration, surveillance, restricted identity and movement rights, and exploitation under Cuban legal instruments such as Decree 306 and Resolution 368/2020. No direct evidence of electoral mobilisation or diplomatic propaganda appears, though the missions functioned within Cuba's broader Sur-Sur political-cooperation framework. Behind humanitarian branding lay a system of surveillance and coercion. Statistics were not just collected—they were engineered.
