Dessalines' Law
Jean Jacques Dessalines

"...Members of the elite are now contemplating a sort of 'final solution' that amounts to little less than a strategy of open warfare - the use of foreign and domestic troops to kill off the poorest of the poor, pure and simple"

"The poverty in places like Citè Soleil is a direct result of the neo-liberal reconfiguration of the Haitian economy that began in the late 1970s - the result of what many Haitians call the "death plan". The US and the Haitian elite believe that they can manage the consequences of this plan by sending foreign troops to police the neighbourhoods populated by those that suffer the worst of its effects. They think they can control rising levels of poverty by shooting at the poor. The US and the Haitian elite believe that they can manage the consequences of this plan by sending foreign troops to police the neighbourhoods populated by those that suffer the worst of its effects. They think they can control rising levels of poverty by shooting at the poor. In Haiti as in various other parts of the world ( Darfur , Sierra Leone , Somalia ...) they use the UN to put out the fire, without considering who started it. They do everything possible to avoid the obvious conclusion - that this poverty, and the violence that accompanies it, is a direct consequence of the neo-liberal plan itself. The only way to reverse it is to put a stop to the plan and undo its effects.

"In places like Haiti and much of Africa, the great imperial powers use the UN as humanitarian fire-fighters, but they never identify, let alone prosecute, the neo-liberal arsonists. They never ask why social divisions have become so intense, why the levels of poverty are now so extreme, why people are so desperate that they prefer to fight, rather than starve."..."

"....Comme industriel ils se contentent de se lancer dans la sous-traitance. Ils prennent des contrats ou des sous-contrats des multinationales. Ils font crever nos ouvriers pour un salaire tuberculeux qui est 4 à 5 fois inférieur au salaire prévu dans le compte d’exploitation..." (
