UN peacekeepers in Haiti face bullets and stones

/noticias.info/ One civilian police officer from the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) has been injured by stone-throwers as he tried to rescue an alleged thief from a lynch mob and two other officers escaped to safety a day later after their vehicle came under fire.

The injured officer was on a road leading to Pétionville, an upper-income suburb of the capital, Port-au-Prince, when an angry crowd showered his motor patrol with stones on Tuesday as the officers aided someone suspected of stealing.

The next day two officers on patrol and driving around downtown Port-au-Prince were fired upon by about a dozen armed people. Bullets hit the motor and the tyres and the vehicle was forced to stop. Other local and UN officers rescued them and an investigation was launched, MINUSTAH said.

Chaos heerst nog steeds in Haiti bijna een jaar na de door Amerika en Frankrijk georchestreerde coup tegen Aristide in Haiti.

Ondertussen is het IMF bezig om Haiti op te zadelen met nog meer schulden. Het straatarme Haiti is inmiddels al meer dan 1 miljard dollar schuldig aan de internationale gemeenschap. Dit terwijl de ruim 1 miljard dollar die de internationale gemeenschap toezegde voor de wederopbouw van Haiti nooit zijn aangekomen.

Straatbendes heersen de straat terwijl de nieuwe ongekozen regering van Haiti de politie gebruikt om aanhangers van Aristide op te pakken of gewoon bruut geweld gebruiken om demonstraties tegen het regime te onderukken. De door Amerika gewapende bendes die vorig jaar Aristide het land wisten te destabiliseren worden nog steeds ongemoeid gelaten door de VN troepen en de regering van Haiti, hoewel ze inmiddels wel in openlijke opstand zijn tegen de regering. De enige die wel strijd voeren met de gewapende voormalig militairen zijn rebellen die geassocieerd kunnen worden met Aristide, al worden ze niet door hem gecontrolleerd, zoals sommige boze tongen beweren. Grote gedeelten van het land zijn in handen van deze Aristide aanhangers of in handen van de voormalig militairen.

Een jaar na de coup: situatie chaotisch.. Verkiezingen staan gepland voor December 2005. Maar wat meer waarschijnlijk is dat de VN nog dit jaar van het eiland wordt gekickt en dan zal de internationale gemeenschap waarschijnlijk wel weer een oproep doen aan Aristide om de chaos te bezweren. Of de Haitianen hem dan echter nog terug willen is nog maar af te wachten.

UN works to squash followers of Aristide in Haiti
Haiti Information Project (HIP)

Port-au-Prince, Haiti (HIP) - Rounding up residents and kicking down doors, heavily armed troops of the UN and the Police Nationale de Haiti (PNH) invaded several neighborhoods of Cite Soleil one day after an alleged attack on the headquarters of the mission of the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul.

Cite Soleil along with Bel Air are slums in the capital of Port au Prince that have served as launching sites for demonstrations demanding the return of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Aristide was ousted last February 29th amid charges he was kidnapped by U.S. Marines and remains in exile in the Republic of South Africa. Today both areas have come under strict millitary control by UN troops and the Haitian police since violence erupted last Sept, 30 when witnesses and journalists reported that the peacekeepers stoodby when police fired on unarmed demonstrators calling for Aristide's return.

Hundreds of UN troops and Haitian police formed a dragnet that resulted in truckloads of residents being arrested without a warrant in the sprawling neighborhood that is home to more than 500,000 Haitians. Following the arrests, the UN and PNH conducted house-to-house searches as residents of the slum reacted with fear, anger and disgust. The UN left a calling card of a fluorescent lime-green "X" on residences they searched without a legal warrant.

Representatives of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide's Lavalas party accused gunmen associated with a gangster named Labanye, who they claim is aligned with wealthy sweatshop owner Andre Apaid, of attacking the Catholic mission to justify the military intervention. Residents recalled violence in the early morning hours of December 14th, when heavily armed gangsters of the so-called Baz Labanye, began firing on the population. The firefight that followed gave the UN justification to militarily occupy Cite Soleil.

Last December 14th an angry resident of Cite Soleil exclaimed, "Baz Labanye, controlled by Andre Apaid and Reginald Boulos [of the former opposition], began a heavy attack against us and many people were killed. The United Nations then used this as a pretext to invade our neighborhood and end our calls for Aristide's return. It is clear they are working together to exterminate us." Most residents echoed the same sentiments today as they sought information concerning the whereabouts of their loved ones.

"Where is my boy?" asked 49 year-old Marie Douisson, whose door was kicked in by Jordanian troops who left a huge fluorescent lime-green "X" in front of her house after arresting her son. She continued, "What right does the blue helmets have to break down my door? They gave no reason and then they took my son away in handcuffs. What did he ever do except ask that Aristide be returned to Haiti. Aristide was democracy. This is not democracy."

At the church of Weslyenne, students recalled the violent operation by the UN and PNH in tears. A student who feared giving his identity recalled, "The UN shot at our church with huge guns. Look at the damage they did to the school, in the church grounds. Look at the damage to the church. I still cannot understand their violence against us."

The population of Cite Soleil reacted to the military action of the UN and the PNH with a peaceful demonstration that ultimately broke out into a call for the return of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. A representative of Lavalas in Cite Soleil concluded, "The UN wants to pretend they are for democracy. We will surprise them with a democracy they have never dreamed of in their own countries. A Haitian democracy of the poor majority they are helping to destroy and never had in their own countries. We thank them for the example. But always remember 1983. We will never forget our own history even when their memories fail or they have no interest in us. We can never forget because this is Haiti. This is our country."

Haiti was het eerste land ter wereld dat zich succesvol wisten te ontworstelen uit de grip van het koloniale Europa. Zal het ook als eerste een succesvolle opstand uitvoeren tegen de fascistische NWO?

Haiti was het eerste land ter wereld dat zich succesvol wisten te ontworstelen uit de grip van het koloniale Europa. Zal het ook als eerste een succesvolle opstand uitvoeren tegen de fascistische NWO?

Een democratie van `de mondeloze massa` bedoel je?

Cuba was eerder. Is uiteindelijk niet zo`n succes, hoewel bedoelingen in 1e instantie waarschijnlijk wel goed waren. Nicaragua probeerde het begin jaren 80, werd gesaboteerd door Reagan en het Vaticaan.

In beide landen is het trouwens meer dan ooit armoede wat de klok slaat.

Cuba heeft onlangs olie ontdekt.. overigens heeft Cuba zich niet ontworsteld aan fascisme.

En de massa is niet mondeloos, maar wordt monddood gemaakt.. Zoals bijvoorbeeld blijkt uit het feit dat de VN bezig is met het oppakken van Aristide aanhangers die gebruik maken van hun democratisch recht om te protesteren.

Haiti wordt morgen behandeld in Netwerk.

Je zou bijna zeggen dat ik paranormale gaven heb, maar dat is echt niet zo :)
