A tale of two countries

TWO countries have made the front pages and lead stories in our lemming-like capitalist media: Haiti and Cuba. One country  Haiti  has earned the ire of the self-styled Western democracies by overthrowing its colonial slavemasters and establishing a free state in 1803, the first country in history to liberate itself from European-imposed slavery. The Europeans and elites in the US never forgave the rebellious followers of Toussaint L’Ouverture and their descendants. Through occupations, threats, “incentives” and economic extortion, imperialism has ensured that Haiti remains among the poorest countries of the Americas, ranking 145 on the UN’s Human Development Index. The brutal assassination of the Haitian president, an attempted coup d’etat by right-wing mercenaries, only added to the country’s miseries.

Shots, tear gas mar Moise funeral in Haiti

CAP-HAITIEN, HAITI — Haiti police fired tear gas as shots rang out Friday moments after the start of the funeral ceremony for slain President Jovenel Moise, who was assassinated two weeks ago. The U.S. delegation to the funeral, headed by the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas Greenfield, cut its visit short after the shooting began around 10 a.m. local time. Moments later the United Nations special representative to Haiti, Helen La Lime, left hurriedly with her entourage as well. Moments before the funeral service began, the crowd began shouting “Assassin” as Haiti National Police Chief Leon Charles arrived. They were joined by others yelling, “Where is Jovenel?”
