What to Know about PROTESTS in Haiti

This week, Briahna spoke to co-host of This is Revolution Podcast Pascal Robert about the extreme unrest in Haiti. Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who is implicated in the assassination of Haiti's last president, Jovenel Moise, is calling for international forces to help suppress paramilitary "gangs" in the country, and the US state department seems all to willing to oblige. But the people of Haiti feel differently -- still distrustful of the US for, among other reasons, it's connection to the assassination of Moise, and the UN's introduction of a cholera epidemic after the devastating 2010 earthquake. Pascal walks us through the players and interests on the ground in Haiti so that we can follow the story knowledgeably as it progresses. We also touch on the Black diaspora's response to the Queen of England's death, and the reactionary, listless posture of the left in the US.

Pascal at 34 minutes is on FIRE! What a rallying cry right there, I love Pascal!

Very interesting! Haiti has never had rest since its revolution thanks to USA, France, Canada, etc. meddling in its affairs. The Haitian people must reject American/European/UN occupation at all costs!

I find it interesting that an episode on real people and real lives gets only but a few comments. Whereas, an episode on the latest inter-left drama gets 100+ comments. Aren't we a lovely bunch?

Thank you for covering this Brie. The lack of media coverage and public outcry over an impending U.S. intervention in Haiti is absolutely shameful, and fully exposes the double standard regarding the Ukraine war. Invasions against the will of the people are fine as long as the U.S. is the one invading and the people aren’t white.
