Despite massive corruption, hunger, misery extrajudicial killings, arming of murderous gangs, massacres, politicization of the police...the Trump admin gives @moisejovenel a clean bill of health & it's full support in #Haiti. https://twitter.com/USEmbassyHaiti/status/1197318232887181312 …
Violent clashes broke out in Haiti as police fired live ammunition, rubber bullets and tear gas at protestors demonstrating against the arrival of the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
A corrupt president with an illegitimate government cannot be a part of the fight against corruption. We denounce the @OEAHaiti @OEA_oficial’s attempts to legitimize a corrupt regime & interfere in #Haiti’s internal affairs.
Police removing tires at the airport intersection before protesters could set them ablaze in today’s anti-government protests. The whole city seem to be on lockdown by the police as the US embassador to the UN is expected in the country today. #Haiti
The OAS is setting up a commission in #haiti to "help fight corruption" alongside the gvm't implicated in a massive corruption scandal. The initiative completely ignores civil society & popular demands for greater accountability. I am curious to see the reactions from Haiti.... https://twitter.com/oeahaiti/status/1196800483966509058 …
This is what it looks like when it rains today in #Haiti's 2nd largest city, Cap Haitien (Okap) . Billions of $$ from #Venezuela's PetroCaribe fund intended 4 new roads, drainage & sewer projects THAT COULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE were STOLEN by #PHTK ruling party & Co.
First images of meeting between US-backed govt of Pres @moisejovenel & Trump UN appointee to UN Permanent Mission, Amb. Kelly Craft
Trump appointee to UN arrives to cobble deal between US-backed govt of @moisejovenel & "opposition" for govt of National Reconciliation. Lots of carrots & sticks around the table. Don't expect this to resolve the crisis in #Haiti. https://twitter.com/HaitiInfoProj/status/1197247298272497664 …
Reports & images from Bel Air in #Haiti's capital of carnage from two days of intense attacks by govt-backed gangs coordinating with the BOID unit of the police.
Fanmi Lavalas has entered into national dialogue for transition in #Haiti not as a member of any opposition coalition which is forbidden by its charter, but as an independent voice "representing the interests of the majority of the poor."
On the eve of the 226th anniversary of the Battle of Vertières an entire city block housing local govt offices in Okap, #Haiti set ablaze this evening after the arrest of a popular protest leader.
About 1000 police & their supporters protested in #Haiti's capital today claiming they are victims 4 being overworked & underpaid. The families of countless peaceful protesters killed by the police and families still trying to find their loved ones in prisons disagree.
It will be interesting to see who from #Haiti's conservative opposition coalition, the Alternative Consensual, will meet with Craft. The apparent goal is to further dilute the demands of the people for substantive change by cobbling together a unity govt with the #PHTK. https://twitter.com/USEmbassyHaiti/status/1196954137214275586 …
