zilibutton In a series of articles written for the October 17, 2006 bicentennial commemoration of the life and works of Dessalines, I wrote for HLLN that: "Haiti's liberator and founding father, General Jean Jacques Dessalines, said, "I Want the Assets of the Country to be Equitably Divided" and for that he was assassinated by the Mullato sons of France. That was the first coup d'etat, the Haitian holocaust - organized exclusion of the masses, misery, poverty and the impunity of the economic elite - continues (with Feb. 29, 2004 marking the 33rd coup d'etat). Haiti's peoples continue to resist the return of despots, tyrants and enslavers who wage war on the poor majority and Black, contain-them-in poverty through neocolonialism' debts, "free trade" and foreign "investments." These neocolonial tyrants refuse to allow an equitable division of wealth, excluding the majority in Haiti from sharing in the country's wealth and assets."

UN Out of Haiti: BRAZIL OUT OF HAITI!

"President da Silva, according to a U.N. after-action report, your soldiers spent seven hours shooting at an unarmed population. They expended over 22,000 rounds of ammunition, knowing they were striking unintended targets. This cannot possibly be the best that the Brazilian people have to offer. How can this happen when you are the President of Brazil?

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. reminded us that there comes a time when silence is betrayal. Will you and your Administration remain silent on these atrocities?" Davie Josue

Ezili Danto's Note: UN- Brazilian soldiers severely beat two Haitian Police officers

August 6, 2008, direct from the streets of Haiti, we hear Haitian journalist, Jean Ristil, reporting for Lakou New York radio, tell how UN Brazilian soldiers, brutally beat two Haitian police officers (Ronald Denis and Donson Bien-Aimé ) in front of their station in Site Soley, even entering the station to chase and further pulverize the two Haitian police officers, who showed their identification information to the Brazilian soldiers. The foreign soldiers arbitrarily stopped them, as they left work right in front of their station. Both police were transported to the hospital, one was unconscious. The people who observed this on the street began an automatic protest against the foreign UN "peacekeepers" for beating these policemen like they were animals and without human rights, and even entering the Haitian police station without compunction and totally disrespecting the people of Haiti. A Haitian police inspector named, agent Blaise, who witnessed this incident, was interviewed live and confirmed these facts for the New York and international listening audience.

Haitian policemen said beaten by U.N. peacekeepers Aug 7, 2008 10:22pm EDT
By Joseph Guyler Delva

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Two Haitian policemen were severely beaten by U.N. peacekeepers in Haiti's largest and most violent slum, a local municipal official and witnesses said on Thursday.

They said the seemingly arbitrary attack on the plainclothes officers, identified as Osnald Denis and Donson Bien-Aime, occurred on Wednesday in Cite Soleil, a teeming warren of shanties on the south side of the impoverished Caribbean nation's capital.

Cite Soleil Mayor Wilson Louis, in an account supported by several witnesses, told Reuters about 10 Brazilian members of the U.N. peacekeeping force in Haiti took part in the beating.

"I can confirm that the two policemen were severely beaten up by Brazilian troops of the U.N. mission here," Louis said.

"We deplore and condemn this behavior and those at fault should be punished," he added.

Eyewitnesses said the U.N. troops ordered the policemen to leave the area during a security operation along narrow streets and back alleys once the fiefdom of armed gangs whose leaders were mostly loyal to ousted former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

The two policemen had properly identified themselves but were beaten, one of them into unconsciousness, after refusing to leave the area, said one witnesses, who gave his name as Maxon Edouard.

Louis said the policemen were being treated for their injuries in a local hospital and senior Haitian police officials had no immediate comment on the incident,
But U.N. spokeswoman Sophie Boutaud de la Combe said the incident was under investigation and vowed that appropriate sanctions would be applied if the allegations of abuse and excessive use of force were confirmed.

The U.N. peacekeeping force -- currently 6,800 troops and nearly 2,000 police -- returned to Haiti after Aristide was ousted in an armed rebellion in February 2004.

President Rene Preval authorized the peacekeepers to launch a crackdown on Cite Soleil's notorious gangs to pacify the slum shortly after he took office in May 2006. (Editing by Tom Brown)

Deux policiers haïtiens brutalisés par des soldats de la MINUSTAH, Le Nouvelliste, Aug. 6, 2006

(Click HERE: to see photos of the two injured policemen)

Deux agents de la Police nationale d'Haïti (PNH), en civil, ont été
brutalisés, ce matin, par des soldats brésiliens de la Mission des Nations
unies pour la Stabilisation en Haïti (MINUSTAH) dans la commune de Cité
Soleil.

Ces deux policiers, Donson Bien-Aimé, agent II et Ronald Denis, agent III se
trouvant dans un état déplorable après avoir été molestés par des soldats
de la MINUSTAH, ont été transférés en urgence à l'hôpital du Canapé-Vert
pour recevoir les soins que nécessite leur cas.

Ces deux policiers haïtiens sont affectés au commissariat de Cité Soleil à
proximité du bâtiment « Konbit pou lapè » où sont logés les militaires
brésiliens et jordaniens de la force étrangère. Selon certains témoins, ces
policiers, qui attendaient un tap-tap, s'apprétaient à regagner leur domicile
après avoir passé une nuit de service au commissariat. C'est à ce moment que
les soldats onusiens sont arrivés à ce même endroit où l'incident allait se
produire.

« Effectivement, à mon arrivée sur les lieux, à la suite d'un appel reçu
d'un riverain, j'ai constaté les deux policiers haïtiens en train d'être
maltraités par des soldats de la MINUSTAH. Tout de suite, je me suis
interposé en vue de porter sécours à mes collègues qui, à la suite de ces
brimades, ont perdu l'usage de la parole », a confirmé Rosmond Aristide, un
inspecteur de la PNH affecté à ce commissariat.

« J'ignore, en ce moment, l'origine de l'incident, a ajouté l'inspecteur de
police, et j'attends leur rétablissement pour savoir ce qui a été à la base
de cet évènement »

Cet incident a créé une situation de panique dans la commune au niveau de la
population qui était très hostile envers les agents de la MINUSTAH. Certains
habitants de la zone, suite à cet incident qu'ils disent déplorer, ont lancé
des jets de pierres sur des soldats onusiens.

Des responsables de la MINUSTAH, un instant après, arrivés sur les lieux pour
calmer la population de la Cité Soleil en colère, étaient entrés en
pourparlers avec ceux de la PNH pour une enquête. « La MINUSTAH a promis aux
responsables de la PNH de prendre des mesures appropriées à l'encontre de ces
soldats s'ils sont effectivement coupables », a affirmé M. Aristide.

Les policiers haïtiens, de leur côté, attendent de la part des autorités
une ferme décision pour éviter que ce genre de situation ne se reproduise.

"...So, people-to-people, we ask assistance to stop the corruption genocide going on (the better to steal from and fleece) Haiti. A genocide, depopulation and terror taking place through: indefinite detention/incarceration; UN, NGO and humanitarian aid workers sexual rape, human trafficking and molestation of Haitian children; imposed famine from fraudulent "free trade" policies that destroys Haitian food sovereignty; imposed coup d'etat and UN/US protectorate that destroys Haitian security and stability, increases violence and organized kidnappings, drug-dealings and arms trafficking; and, perhaps genocide and forced sterilization by this wholesale foreign-imposed (UNICEF/WHO $10-million dollar) vaccination program in UN occupied Haiti."
