This day Rospide Petion just criticized Haitian government on the radio, before going home. He was shot in a car owned by Radio Sans Fin by unknown gunman. Since February 2nd there have been protests seeking to oust President Moise for basically stealing Venezuelan fuel funds that belonged to the people. Protesters have been demanding his resignation and a restoration of the fuel distribution program, but have been met with deadly police violence instead. It's now escalated to the point where the protests have turned into an active insurgency where Haitians are directly targeting the police. So what does the United States have to say about it? quote:https://www.voanews.com/americas/us-deplores-haiti-violence

Haiti is the result of the world's only successful slave rebellion, and they straight-up killed every white slave owner upon independence. also they make the best rum and have better beef patties than Jamaica. they deserve justice for loving once i know he doesn't have anything to do with this, but gently caress Wyclef Jean Taintrunner posted:I hope Haiti rises up and shoots all the bankers and takes all their poo poo get that OUT of my face has issued a correction as of 18:25 on Sep 30, 2019 |

he’s the founding father because he did ultimately make the country a thing but his official policy was that after slavery ended the economy needed the plantations so he was forced to pressure civies to work them. it also helps that before his popularity cratered completely the French forced their way back in and took him out beforehand which in a choice between him and the French the choice was obvious

Haitians deserve to kill everyone in the IMF and UN and world bank and even that wouldn’t be close to enough payback for all the colonial horrors they still face

get that OUT of my face posted:a fun little bit of alternate history to think about is if Napoleon didn't try to reinstate slavery in Haiti and instead used black officers there to go after the US. we'd all probably be speaking French now Just not sending hundreds of thousands of French to die of tropical diseases in Haiti may have turned things around on the continent. https://twitter.com/HaitiInfoProj/status/1177630941189009408?s=20

Rodatose posted:As the aftermath rolled on, camps for displaced peoples were created. Conditions were abysmal there, cramped, unsafe, and unhygienic (notably, a cholera epidemic took place in the wake of the earthquake). All the while, NGOs - the charitable organizations like the Red Cross raised fat stacks of money off sympathetic images of misery, vowing that they would help. Since free public resources are what was needed (and that is not something NGOs of the neoliberal order can provide - strengthening the public sphere to rid the world of suffering is in opposition to the continued existence of NGOs and charitable orgs), most projects failed to help the people in any substantial way. They did their marketing spin and left. The cholera epidemic is an especially frustrating example of how the international community deals with Haiti. Cholera is not naturally occurring in Haiti's water, it has to transfer person-to-person, and hadn't existed in Haiti for over 100 years. In the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, the United Nations sent aid workers, with a group of 200 or so having active or recent cholera infections, the latrines in the camp this group of UN aid workers constructed to stay in weren't dug properly deep enough and during a rainstorm water from the latrine got into a nearby river. In the most recent report from 2016, 800,000 Haitians have been infected and 10,000 have died. The UN denied responsibility for the epidemic until 2017. Cholera still hasn't been fully eliminated in Haiti and the costs to the Haitian government in fighting it have been over $40 Billion, of which the United Nations has only paid for 2% of, leaving Haiti to foot the bill itself. The current plan for eliminating cholera estimates it should be complete in 3 more years, assuming that funding stays stable and there are no natural disasters.
