Haiti: Foreign Governments and NGOs Will Try to Exploit Moïse’s Assassination

A Haitian police officer stands guard outside of the presidential residence on July 7, 2021, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. BY: Cécile Accilien, Nedghie Adrien, Randal Maurice Jelks & Nathan Jérémie-Brink, Truthout The abhorrent assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse has exposed the political instability long plaguing the Caribbean nation. If history is instructive, how this event is reported will also have deep consequences that may make matters worse. Corporate media outlets continuously amplify narratives of internal corruption and incompetence, while bolstering the interventions of foreign governments and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), both of which have long-term adverse impacts on the country. Clichés are of no value to the citizens of the Caribbean republi...

Haitian President Assassinated, Plunging Country Into New Political Crisis

https://www.democracynow.org/embed/story/2021/7/7/haitian_president_jovenel_moise_assassinationBYAmy Goodman & Juan González, Democracy Now! Haiti is reeling from a new crisis after President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated in an attack on his home in the outskirts of Port-au-Prince early Wednesday. In a statement, Haitian Prime Minister Claude Joseph said “a group of unidentified individuals” attacked the private residence of the president, killing him and injuring the first lady. Moïse, who had led Haiti since 2017, was accused of orchestrating a coup to stay in power beyond February 7, when his term officially ended. For months Haitians have staged large protests against Moïse demanding he leave office, but Moïse clung to power with support from the Biden administration, whic...

Haiti: No to U.S. intervention in wake of Jovenel Moïse assassination

Credit — Eugene Puryear In the early hours of July 7, Haitian president-turned-dictator Jovenel Moïse was assassinated at his home in Port-au-Prince. While many details of the assassination remain unclear, the political vacuum in Haiti will likely result in a fierce struggle over the direction of the nation in the coming weeks. The Biden administration’s initial reactions to the assassination disturbingly indicate that the U.S. government is considering deepening their intervention in Haiti, which could possibly involve a military intervention. Biden’s official statement pledges that the United States “sta...

It was the beginning of the end for chattel slavery in the United States too. In recent months the people of Haiti are back in the streets. Is it time for a second social revolution in Haiti?

Fierce struggle resists U.S.-backed Haitian president’s power grab

Credit — U.S. Mission Haiti Last week, Haiti’s major cities witnessed a 48-hour shutdown of industries across multiple sectors as labor unions and organizations across the country called for a general strike of workers and students. The strike was held in response to President Jovenel Moïse’s refusal to step down at the end of his constitutionally-bound presidential term on February 7. On that day, another powerful wave of protests swept the country as people bravely took to the streets in huge numbers despite violence and intimidation from authorities. In addition to the issue of Moïse’s refusal to leave office, protesters denounced the c...

Haiti Liberté solidarity statement to the PSL

Haiti Liberté Download PDF flyer In the last decade, U.S. imperialism has become more clever. In the years leading up to 2008, the “Democratic” wing of the U.S. ruling class nurtured, from the political nursery which is Harvard Law School, a Black man to become the U.S. president. In this way, the U.S. bourgeoisie tricked the U.S. population, particularly oppressed people, into thinking that they had a friend in the White House, a man who would oppose exploitation, oppression, and injustice. In Haiti, we are familiar with this tactic. We call it the politics of “doublure,” meaning hiding one thing behind another. Today, it has become clear to everyone that Obama is as zealous and deadly a champion of U.S. imperialism as his predecessor, George W. Bush, ever was, and certainly mor...

Where is the Reporting on PetroCaribe?

by MARK SCHULLER Photograph Source: Colin Crowley – CC BY 2.0 January 12 marks ten years since Haiti’s deadly earthquake. Usually, Haiti appears in international news when there’s a scandal, a disaster, violence. There was a flurry of coverage in October when daily protests, begun with a nine-week general strike – in Haitian Creole, peyi lòk – met with government repression, including the death of three journalists. The mobilization has been ongoing since July 2018, leading to a partial report naming high-ranking government officials of mismanagement of PetroCaribe funds published at the end of May 2019. Most articles are without context, many led by images of burning tires that, to foreign capitalist press, represents violence. The first independent Black nation, Haiti ...
