Interview, Haiti: History Of Sabotage, Actors Involved And The Island s Enduring Spirit

African Stream sat down with Ezayi Jules, a Haitian from the organisation MOLEGHAF (National Movement for Liberty and Equality of Haitians for Fraternity) to discuss the recent events surrounding the Caribbean island. In particular, we talked about the Kenyan government s push (stalled in the High Court) to deploy police officers on a USfunded (and USproposed) security mission to PortauPrince. Analysing the geopolitical dynamics behind that push, Ezayi connected Haitis present woes to the aftermath of its liberation from slavery arguing that the nation is still being punished for taking freedom into its own hands. He urges Africans interested in contributing towards Haiti s liberation to act today. We learned a lot. Let us know your reaction to what he has to say. , AfricanStream, Haiti, Kenya, Police, Deployment, USA, PortAuPrince, Africa, fyp
