UN peacekeepers have attacked protesters with live ammo-

Haitian police and UN peacekeepers have attacked protesters with live ammo and chemical agents as several thousand opposition supporters tried to march on the presidential palace, demanding new leadership. Haiti has seen many anti-government protests in recent months calling for President Michael Martelly to step down, amid a growing anger over the high levels of government corruption. Elections have been delayed now for years. Martelly said during a brief televised speech that Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe was prepared to resign, but an actual date for that to happen was not given.

The impoverished Caribbean nation is still reeling from a devastating earthquake that killed more than 220,000 people in January 2010 and flattened much of the capital. Journalist Amelie Baron told Al Jazeera from Port-au-Prince that many of the protesters came from poor areas of the capital that have not seen much progress being made since the disaster nearly five years ago. Much of the millions donated around the world by the Bush/Clinton network were actually stolen sadly and never made it to any Haitian people.

For eight years apiece, Clinton and Bush were directly and deeply involved in a series of political machinations and military interventions that have played a major role in perpetuating the poverty, backwardness and repression in Haiti. Clinton took office in the immediate aftermath of the military coup which ousted Haiti’s first democratically elected president, the populist cleric Jean-Bertrand Aristide. That coup was backed by the administration of Bush’s father. For three years, Haiti was systematically starved by the US aid cutoff and measures taken by the Bush administration to block international aid and isolate the Aristide government. Finally, in February 2004, amid protests fomented by the Haitian ruling elite with covert American backing, the US military again intervened in the country, seizing Aristide and shipping him out of the country to exile. The Marines turned over effective control of the country to a United Nations peacekeeping force
