And what projects are these?

Probably bs proiects that have nothing to do with helping the haitian people.

After the 2004 Coup the US government forced the Haitian government to privatized Haiti national telephone company (Teleco)(2007), to sell it off to the Vietnamese military. the World Bank help make the deal. it was finalized in 2010 (around the time of the EQ)

Now the company is called NATCOM

To understand the criminal class in #Haiti that controls the wealth, read this 1994 article. They hate the poor and leaders that support the masses are killed or overthrown, which explains why more than half of Haiti's rulers were killed or overthrown. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xp

Hatred of Aristide, Fear of Poor Unite Haiti Elite : Society: The handful of light-skinned, rich families that control the economy expect to outmaneuver U.S.

KENNETH FREEDTIMES STAFF WRITER
Oct. 3 1994

Her face was twisted with rage, her voice cracked with fury, her body cramped with hate. "They should be killed, all of them, killed. We will kill them. I will kill them."

The murderous wail was aimed at Jean-Bertrand Aristide and the supporters who followed Haiti's first democratically elected president into exile when he was overthrown three years ago by the country's army.

"They are everything that is wrong here," she shrieked as she contemplated their return. "They are the mob. They want to destroy us. I have my guns. I will use them to protect my property."

This was not the rant of some uncontrollable eccentric nor the boast of a barroom denizen.

No, the venom spewed from the mouth of a demurely dressed, wealthy Haitian woman, a double graduate of one of the best U.S. Ivy League colleges and a member of one of Haiti's oddest factions--what U.S. diplomats call the Morally Repugnant Elite, or MREs for short.

They are by definition rich, sometimes exceedingly so. Most are light-skinned or white. Many have been educated in the best American and European universities. Several carry U.S. passports. Almost all have a pathological hatred for Aristide.

Romeo Halloun is the son of a Lebanese immigrant who made a small fortune in the import-export business, a fortune converted into a mountain of money when the family turned to smuggling during the various embargoes imposed to force Aristide's return.

Even though he is a U.S. citizen, Halloun joined the corps of anti-Aristide fanatics, organizing a night-riding patrol that terrorized ordinary Haitians and tried to intimidate foreigners. He was detained Sunday by U.S. forces.

"Aristide represents all I hate," he once told a reporter as he gambled away thousands of dollars at the El Rancho casino, a favorite haunt of young MREs.

"I'm not afraid to kill to protect what I and my family have."

Halloun is a follower of Bob LeCord, a former U.S. serviceman and disciple of the brutal Duvalier dynasty that ruled Haiti from 1957 to 1986.

Last October, LeCord led a band of armed thugs who prevented a U.S. Army cargo ship from landing in Port-au-Prince as part of an abortive effort to return Aristide. He was arrested Friday by U.S. troops for carrying illegal weapons.

The loathing is so intense that a few still will not accept that Aristide is coming back, despite the more than 20,000 U.S. troops sent here to ensure that the president is restored.

"I know he isn't coming back," one woman said. "Whoever gets off that plane on Oct. 15 (the date most people have set for Aristide's return) won't be Aristide. It might be someone altered by cosmetic surgery, it might be a robot, but it won't be Aristide."

The thinking behind such a statement from an otherwise rational person is based on a conviction that U.S. officials hate Aristide as much as she does. So it can't be the real Aristide that returns, the thinking goes, only some clone that Washington will control.

For the less irrational, Aristide's return is acknowledged as a probable fact--but not an acceptable one.

"I'm not going to shoot him," the husband of the excitable, demurely dressed woman said as he entertained a reporter by the pool of his relatively modest home in the hills above Petionville, a wealthy suburb of the capital. "But I have lots of friends who will, and I won't do anything to stop them."

The power behind the MREs lies with a handful of light-skinned, rich families who have a monopolistic hold on Haiti's economy and have inherited the racial attitudes and fear of the poor from the French colonialists and the mixed-raced Haitians who took control after the nation's 1804 revolution.

"You know why I'm against Aristide?" asked a U.S.-trained economist and businessman who has made a sizable profit in league with the military regime. "His democracy is the democracy of the mob, the ignorant and dirty mob," he said, as his guest gazed at a mansion being constructed on an adjoining multi-acre lot owned by the economist.

"They aren't ready for democracy. Aristide has told them they have a right to what I have, that they have the right to eat off my plate."

For the most part, these families keep their hatred of the populist priest to themselves, preferring to express it through manipulation of lesser allies such as Halloun or through financial and political aid and advice to the military.

All of these families backed the 1991 military revolt against Aristide, according to U.S. diplomats at the time--then-U.S. Ambassador Alvin Adams actually named the families the MREs--and provided the money and expertise that thwarted the international sanctions.

Paradoxically, some of the most elite of the MREs, the Mevs, Brandt, Madsen and D'Adesky families, are now in business with the supposedly hated American invaders, renting and selling land and services to the U.S. forces.

One Haitian political expert, who supports Aristide's return as an exercise in democracy even though he dislikes the man and his radical policies, believes at least some of these families are subtly engineering a plan that will frustrate the Americans and leave the families in eventual control.

"The idea is to appear resigned, if not enthusiastic, about Aristide coming back," he said, "but to encourage the looting and lawlessness so that the Americans will eventually give up and go away and leave Aristide helpless. Then they will have won."

Even with Aristide's return at least a week or more away, the MREs say they are seeing the meaning of his restoration in the streets now.

"Looting, you see the looting," said a businessman who says he is not an MRE but associates with them. "That is what Aristide means and what Aristide will bring. Your (the U.S. media's) job is to convince him to stop the looting."

Haiti: The Unsustainable Presidency
By Nancy Roc

If the parting of the Red Sea is one of the most dramatic episodes in the Old Testament, Haiti’s Moses will not be saved by a miracle; on the contrary, he’s about to drown the nation with the support of the US government.

‘’President Jovenel Moïse (Moses in English) promised to put “money in the pockets and food on the plates’’ (of the Haitian people) More than two years later, the food emergency has worsened and the famine is on our doorstep’’, states the day’s editorial of Haiti’s oldest daily newspaper, Le Nouvelliste, on May 17th 2019. And it gets worse. The exchange rate has reached an unprecedented 90 gourdes for a dollar, inflation is at 17% – while some estimate that the real rate is around 20%. On February 14th, 2019, following violent protests against President Jovenel Moise, the U.S. State Department issued a Level-4-Travel Advisory for Haiti – at its highest level of alert. Since then, there have been massive layoffs within the tourism sector and some import-export companies. The US decision exacerbated the asphyxiation of entire sectors of an economy already crippled by corruption. To make matters worse, attacks on life and property are increasing in cities and in the countryside. ‘’We are at the antipodes of the tomorrows promised by President Jovenel Moïse’’ concludes Le Nouvelliste.

For the past year, the disastrous management practices and the suspected diversion of nearly $2 billion from the Petrocaribe fund under the presidency of Michel Martelly – endorsed by Hillary Clinton in 2012 – have been the core of the violent unrest in Haiti. While Martelly took the presidency with just 16.7 per cent of the electorate, the US press billed his victory as “overwhelming“, reminds Al Jazeera. For the TV network, Martelly, ‘’the friend of coup-plotters, fascists, and armed right-wing groups in his country and abroad’’ was ‘’the second greatest disaster’’ for Haiti since the 2010 earthquake[1]. Yet, the U.S. supported him and still supports his successor, Jovenel Moise.

Two years after the latter took power, the expressions of the collapse of the state are blatant. The Haitian Moses has neither the experience, nor the political will or the moral authority to make a change. The crisis is worsening by the day and last April, in a rare volte-face, the Haitian private sector made it clear:

“The system is finished. We must break it. We can prepare, order the rupture or we can undergo the rupture. This would mean that many of us will lose their heads. We will be decapitated. What we have will be burned“, said Frantz Bernard Craan[2].




When this business leader speaks, he does so on behalf of the Haitian private sector. Indeed, Craan is the Coordinator of the Private Sector Economic Forum in Haiti -an association regrouping all Haitian private sector corporative associations.

Amid Haiti’s ongoing political and economic crisis and a month after his nomination, Haiti’s new Prime Minister, Jean-Michel Lapin has yet to be ratified by Parliament. If he is, people generally doubt that he will be able to help Moise face pressing problems such as the high cost of living and the insecurity that plagues the country.

On National Flag Day, May 18th, in Arcahaie, a small town where the flag was adopted, the Mayor gave a cold shower to the highest authorities of the country.

“People need hope, not promises. They want to live in safety. This is their cry. As long as the Haitian people complain, fearing for their future which seems more and more devastating, the flag remains stained and desecrated and you have understood nothing “, slammed the Mayor Rosemila Petit-Frère to the president under the applauds of an approving and somewhat stunned public.

She reminded members of Parliament that as long as they continue to impose ministers, overthrow governments and refuse to control the executive, they are themselves guilty of desecrating the flag.

“You, too, have not understood our bicolour. The people are following you, they have understood and taken notes“, she said. “The wind of the division has unveiled everything. The press, the private sector, the public sector, the political opposition, all are concerned. This wind of division contributed to the devaluation of the gourde, it has increased misery, insecurity and instability’’, said the mayor who gave the proverbial keys of the city to the president, and with them an invitation to use her historic city as a site to start a national dialogue, as had done the heroes of independence 216 years before.

In his speech, president Moïse reiterated his intention to hold this dialogue while admitting that he was “an accident of the system”. The problem is that the Haitian people no longer believes in Moïse’s empty promises and it is improbable that it will be behind him when, in his accident, the raging waters of discontent and scorn drown him.
