Cuba s inclusion in US terrorist list rejected in Uruguay
Montevideo, Jan 17 (Prensa Latina) The Network in Defense of Humanity (Reddhu) - Uruguay Chapter rejected vigorously the inclusion of Cuba in the United States list of State Sponsors of Terrorism. The Network issued a statement pointing at the outgoing administration of US President Donald Trump and the US State Department as the main instigators of one of the most recent acts of aggression against Cuba.
Cuba has shown reliable signs of promoting peace and solidarity over the last 60 years, Reddhu stressed, and exemplified this with the recent dispatch of the Henry Reeve International Medical Brigades to more than 40 countries to support those most in need in times of natural catastrophes, epidemics and pandemics.

Lawrence B. Wilkerson, retired US Army Colonel and former chief of staff to US Secretary of State Colin Powell, has nominated the Cuban Medical Brigade Henry Reeve for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. Wilkerson is also a Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Government and Public Policy at William and Mary College.
Wilkerson’s interest in Cuba’s medical internationalism began when he learned that Cuban medical brigades were working all over Pakistan following the horrific earthquake of 2005, saving lives and spreading goodwill.
“Thanks to the Cuban medical intervention, then-President Pervez Musharraf invited the Cubans to open an embassy in Islamabad. They did. Besides saving lives, this was successful public diplomacy.”

Socialist Cuba embodies the spirit of international solidarity by its constant medical aid to countries around the world, especially those impacted by imperialism. This is not just an empty phrase. The true meaning of solidarity is shown every day by teams of Cuban health care workers the doctors and nurses who have brought their skills and dedication to other Caribbean countries, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and even to Europe.
