Reaction to Haitian strike exposes Liberal lie on ‘feminist foreign policy’

A government truly committed to a “feminist foreign policy” would support Haitians striking to boost their 70-cents-per-hour wage. But thus far Canadian officials have responded to the workers’ action by paying a celebratory visit to a sweatshop and ignoring protests repressed by Canadian-funded police.

The DG of the Colombian police wonders about the role of the Chief of Security of President Moïse

The Director General of the National Colombian Police, General Jorge Luis Vargas is convinced that Commissioner Dimitri Hérard, Head of the General Security Unit of the National Palace (USGPN) in Haiti, is a key element in establishing what happened in the early morning of July 7, when the President was assassinated.

Jorge Luis Vargas also wants to establish what Dimitri Hérard did in Colombia during 7 trips to Ecuador, Colombia and the Dominican Republic, between January 2021 and last May, even if the capital of the country Bogotá “does not seem to be a stopover”.

Haiti President Moïse ‘mortally wounded’ in armed attack at his home, prime minister says

Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was “mortally wounded” and his wife shot during an armed attack in the middle of the night Wednesday at their private residence above the hills of Port-au-Prince, the country’s prime minister, Claude Joseph, said.

The assailants claimed to be agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, according to videos taken by people in the area of the president’s home. Moïse, 53, lives in Pelerin 5, a neighborhood just above the hills in the capital.

The attack happened a day after Moïse named a new prime minister, Ariel Henry, to take charge as head of the government and prepare the country for elections in the next two months for president, a new parliament and local government officials.

Ariel Henry was close to the opposition, while not not welcomed by the majority of the opposition (he also studied in France).

A Day in the Life of Fighting Dictatorship and Neocolonialism

The day begins the night before. The cadre of hope dodge sleep and the police. Under the cover of night and the ancestors, they spray-paint the walls of Port-au-Prince to encourage communities to unite and rise up: “Aba enperyalis, Aba Jovenel!” (Down with imperialism! Down with Jovenel.) “PHTK, Bann volè.” (The PHTK – Haitian Bald Headed Party – is a bunch of thieves.) “Kote kòb PetroCaribe?” (Where is the PetroCaribe money?)
