Comments on: A Haitian Blogger on the Next American President http://globalvoicesonline.org/2008/01/16/a-haitian-blogger-on-the-next-american-president/ The world is talking. Are you listening? Sun, 29 Nov 2009 05:13:24 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Magbana http://globalvoicesonline.org/2008/01/16/a-haitian-blogger-on-the-next-american-president/comment-page-1/#comment-1370322 Magbana Fri, 25 Jan 2008 15:46:14 +0000 http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/2008/01/16/a-haitian-blogger-on-the-next-american-president/#comment-1370322 I appreciate Pascale’s skepticism about the role of the US throughout the world. One of the worst things the US did was in Pascale’s country, Haiti, when it organized and financed a brutal coup d’etat in 2004 that robbed Haitians of their democratically-elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. When the US pulled out its Marines a few months after the coup, a UN Peacekeeping Force (MINUSTAH) came in to occupy Haiti. Unfortunately, their approach to the Haitian people was no less brutal than the US, the former Haitian army, and the Haitian National Police. Video evidence of a UN massacre on July 6, 2005, on the poorest neighborhood in Port-au-Prince, Cite Soleil, has just been released. The UN attack was conducted ostensibly to neutralize one gang member, but with close to 60 people dead and 23 of the 30 victims that arrived at the nearby Doctors without Borders Clinic being women and children, this was no gang busting – it was a massacre. Check out the footage of the UN massacre: http:///hcvanalysis.wordpress.com Also, no wonder the lives of several activists working on human rights abuses are in danger and one was kidnapped. Please see yesterday’s Women’s Global Strike press release where actress and activist, Vanessa Redgrave, calls for an investigation into the disappearance of Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine who was kidnapped on August 12, 2007. When you see the atrocities in the UN massacre, you begin to understand why someone or some entity might want to silence Lovinsky.
