HAVANA, July 11 (UPI) — Cuban leader Fidel Castro says increased foreign
currency in the communist island country is creating inequalities.

Castro said in an essay published Wednesday in the state-run newspaper
Granma that foreign currency sent by relatives abroad to some Cubans is
creating unfair privileges for some.

The 80-year-old Cuban leader -- who is recovering from a long-term
illness -- has been publishing new essays in state-controlled media
every few days.

Castro turned over control of the communist island last July to his
younger brother Raul after announcing he has a gastro-intestinal illness.
