Haitians took to the streets Tuesday, for the sixth day in a row, to demand the resignation of President Jovenel Moise, with increasingly violent protests virtually paralyzing the country.

In Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, banks, schools, businesses and fuel stations remained closed, some of which have been looted by angry citizens who joined the riots that began on Feb. 7.

Haitian Prime Minister Calls for Reduction of State Privileges
In a speech given late Saturday, Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Henry Céant said the country's problems are rooted in three areas; corruption, and the inequality and decades of bad governance, and argued that the only way out of the crisis, is dialogue.

Amid tense scenes in the Caribbean nation of Haiti, Prime Minister Jean-Henry Céant has called for a series of privilegs to be reduced, which includes a 30 percent reduction of the Office of the Prime Minister's budget, as well as the withdrawal of privileges to the State's top officials.

Haiti: Heavily Armed US Mercenaries Arrested Amid Protests

Haitian officials offer contradictory versions about what these soldiers of fortune were trying to do.

On Feb. 17 Haitian authorities detained five U.S. citizens, one Serbian, one Russian and one Haitian with firearms, ammunition, satellite communication equipment, drones and other military accessories in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti.

How Trump’s Attacks on Venezuela Sparked a Revolution in Haiti
...
Trump immediately stepped up hostility against Venezuela, slapping far-ranging economic sanctions on Nicolas Maduro’s government.

Haiti was already in arrears in its payments to Venezuela, but the US sanctions now made it impossible to pay its PetroCaribe oil bill (or, at least, gave them a golden excuse not to). The Haiti PetroCaribe deal effectively ended in October 2017.

Life in Haiti, which was already extremely difficult, now became untenable.

With the Venezuelan crude spigot now closed, Washington’s enforcer, the International Monetary Fund, told Moïse he had to raise fuel prices, which he tried to do on July 6 last year.

The result was a three-day popular explosion which was the precursor to today’s revolt.

It appears that the Clinton Foundation is at risk of losing several sweatshops and mineral contacts it set up the last coup d'etat.

USA to the rescue again!

Haiti is a shithole. Shit always settles to the lowest point.

[skinster]

A shithole that the U.S. won't leave alone for some reason. Why does America love shitholes?

[Rancid]

Are these mercenaries US backed, or are they just freelancing hired guns?

[Suntzu]

Haiti is an excellent example of what Blacks can accomplish without White interference.

[Hong Wu]

The mercenaries were five guys and a couple non-Americans? Amazing how few Americans it takes to blame America.

It's because America has already intervened so many times in Haiti.

Similarly to Venezuela, every time Haiti elects a socialist who cares about Haitians, our commercial media tell us what a "shithole" the country suddenly is, and then France-Canada-USA do another coup d'etat and replace the president with a Western dupe.

That's the root of the current crisis. America has destroyed every competent government in Latin America, and leaves behind a trail of Haiti-type situations which fall off the media radar as soon as Americans own all the resources there (with French and Canadian companies).

Haiti is an excellent example of what Blacks can accomplish without White interference.

How Haiti's Western-appointed vassals pissed away billions in aid from Venezuela

Currently the Haitian people’s main complaint is corruption arising out of a 2006 oil deal with Venezuela. Haiti, led by President René Préval,was one of 17 countries joining Venezuela’s Petrocaribeproject. The agreement called for Haiti to pay for 60 percent of the oil within 90 days and the remainder after 25 years at 1% interest. Haiti presently owes Venezuela $2 billion.

The government sold the oil to private entities and accumulated some $4 billionin funds. The idea was to use the money for sanitation, health care, education, infrastructure, and agricultural innovations. Needs mounted after the 2010 earthquake.

The funds were “misused, misappropriated, or embezzled by government officials and their cronies,” according to reportsreleased by the Haitian Senate in 2017. Money flowed into the coffers of PresidentMoïse’sbusiness and into the hands of leaders of the political party formed by Michel Martelly,Moïse’s predecessor as President.

Haiti’s involvement with PetroCaribe ended in October 2017. U.S. anti-Venezuela sanctions had prevented Haiti from paying on its oil bill with Venezuela – or “gave them a golden excuse not to,” according to close Haiti observer Kim Ives. “Life in Haiti,” he writes, “which was already extremely difficult, now became untenable.” Ives castigates Haiti’s January 10 vote at the Organization of American States as “cynical betrayal by Moïse and his cronies.” That day Haiti supported a U.S. motion declaring President Maduro’s Venezuelan government to be “illegitimate.”

1. Chavez agrees to help Haiti by giving it half-price oil to be paid for slowly
2. Local vassals sell this oil for double, claiming to want to use it for "development"
3. Local vassals waste this money on glamorous consumer goods

It's the story of all capitalist countries.

HEY! I have you know my ancestors took a bath at least twice a week and at least married the natives.

[Taurean Reign]

Please cracker, you wouldn't know a bath even if we threw you down the ocean. Whites almost killed themselves during Middle Ages cause they believe bathing was sin. And as for marriage, if you consider force molestation rape; than alot of crackers would have babies and animals as spouses.

PoFo has truly the highest intellectual standard of all forums on the Internet !

[QatzelOk]

Racism survives to the present period - despite popular education and the accessibility of travel - primarily as a way of justifying the atrocities of late capitalism.

You can see this in the last few comments on this page. Rather than addressing the ravages of Corporate interference in popular democracies, the media-influenced serf lets his emotions tell him to emote negatively when he sees dark skin tones.

This crude, ignorant point of view has been propagated by very sophisticated means, and for the benefit of people who are already overly rich.
