Massive Demonstrations in Haiti Suprise U.N.

Tweet Pretty weird how the NYTimes and U.N. paint all the people in Cite Soleil as "gangs." They let their paid assassins from Haiti live in NY for years, w/o doing anything. Now they use helicopter gunships to attack the slums (just as the U.S. does in Iraq) killing indiscriminately. The Empire -- Killing Us All. L

HIP — Challenging recent assertions made by the United Nations that the Lavalas movement is dead, crowds estimated at well over 100,000 took to the streets of seven major cities throughout Haiti on February 7 to demand an end to the UN occupation, freedom for political prisoners and the return of exiled president Aristide. Lavalas is the political movement of Haiti's desperately poor majority and the political party of president Jean-Bertrand Aristide who was ousted on February 29, 2004 in a coup reportedly backed by the United States, France and Canada.

Although the largest demonstrations took place in the capital of Port-au-Prince and Haiti's second largest city Cap Haitien, thousands were reported to have joined similar actions in Port de Paix, Hinche, La Kay, St. Marc and Miragoane. Smaller actions were also reported in the towns of Jacmel, Leogane and Gonaives.
