The Cuban Medical Brigade in The Gambia (CMB Gambia) denounces the desperate new maneuver carried out by anti-Cuban American senators against the international medical cooperation of our country.
We strongly reject Washington’s latest threats, which consist of punishing those who do not follow the isolated and reprehensible conduct of the racist regime of President Donald Trump.
The discredit campaign carried out by Trump and his closest henchmen against our humanitarian collaboration in the field of health is immoral and inhumane in any circumstance, as well as being offensive, not only for Cuba, but for all nations.
The world is being plagued by a pandemic that has claimed the lives of thousands of people. Our small island has shown solidarity once again by providing medical aid to those in need.
The truth cannot be hidden: «Cuba saves lives.»
We see health as a human right, whoever does not see it that way commits a horrendous crime against humanity.
Cuba will always be around the world extending its hand of solidarity.
As our Commander in Chief, Fidel Castro said:
… ”We will continue defending the ideas for which we have fought for a lifetime, along with the poor, the sick without doctors or medicines, parents without jobs, the hundreds of millions of children abandoned to their fate or forced to work or to prostitute themselves in order to live, the hungry, the oppressed and the exploited of the entire Earth who constitute the vast majority of humanity ”.
We call on the world to promote solidarity.
We also demand the cessation and definitive suspension of unjust blockades and unilateral coercive measures.
It is just enough ! of wanting to tarnish the image of the Cuban medical collaboration, using dirty tricks.
Get rid of nastiness and hostility forever.
Cuba will always be ready to send its doctors and health personnel to the darkest areas of the world.
«Doctors and not Bombs».
