[News] Haiti: What's Going On In Haiti?

Wed Jul 26 20:41:51 EDT 2023

With all this talk/propaganda about a UN or other military force to 
"save" Haiti and Haitians, we need to keep in mind some of the acts of 
cruelty of the 19 + year US-UN occupation. The policies of the US, 
France and Canada have led to the present hellish conditions in Haiti.

Below are links to 5 videos in chronological order documenting the 
violence of the UN occupation in Haiti since the bloody kidnapping/coup 
d'etat of Feb. 29, 2004. Some scenes were recorded by community reporter 
Jean Ristil who was located in Cite Soleil during United Nation troops' 
armed attacks on the neighborhood. Please be aware that some of the 
footage, though blurred, is graphic.

Please keep in mind that Brazil under Lula was in charge of the UN 
military mission from its beginning in 2004 and continues to be one of 
the 9-member Core Group (known by Haitians as Core Gang) that runs the 
day-to-day US/UN occupation of Haiti.

The US/UN occupation forces train, fund and supervise the Haitian police 
and prison guards. They are in charge of the justice system that 
includes the police and prisons. The unspeakable brutality and killings 
that have been going on in Haiti to this day with UN forces providing 
back up and logistical support to the police and their affiliated death 
squads have been documented.

Please also pay special attention to Margaret Prescod's analysis in part 
2 of "Special Report: Massacres in Haiti."

This video shows the bravery of two young fellows getting close to 
UNsoldiers shooting at demonstrators to throw rocks at them in 
self-defense. The second young man is more brazen as he gets much closer 
to them unseen.
