The Movement of Solidarity with Cuba in Ghana has used social networks to express its support for the proposal that the Nobel Peace Prize be awarded to the International Contingent of Doctors Specialized in Disaster Situations and Serious Epidemics "Henry Reeve", who, to date, it has contributed to the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in 26 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
The members of the Movement of Solidarity with Cuba, Cubans residing in Ghana, as well as other citizens of the African country have stamped their signatures in favor of the Cuban Contingent, which from 2005 to the present has taken its solidarity action to numerous countries, among them Guatemala, Pakistan, Indonesia, Haiti and Chile, after cyclonic damages and earthquakes; as well as Sierra Leone, Liberia and the Republic of Guinea during the Ebola epidemic.
The creation of the “Henry Reeve” Contingent on September 19, 2005 was promoted by the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Commander in Chief Fidel Castro, after the disasters caused by Hurricane Katrina in the city of New Orleans in the United States. . On that occasion, Fidel proposed that the US government send a medical contingent named after the courageous internationalist fighter, Henry Reeve, born in that country, and who died in Cuba during the confrontation against Spanish colonialism in 1874. Henry Reeve, known as the Inglesito among the Cuban troops, reached the rank of Brigadier General. (Cubaminrex / Embacuba Ghana)
