[news] Aristide's Lavalas puts UN duplicity to the test in Haiti

[Resist!ca]

"Evidence continues to mount of the United Nation's complicity in an on-going campaign by the US-installed government of Gerard Latortue to terrorize and exterminate sympathizers of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide's political party known as Lavalas. Despite detailed documentation of innumerable massacres committed by the Police Nationale de Haiti (PNH) over the last five months, the UN insisted in a new report released on February 25 that "the general security environment across Haiti has improved." Any sensible observer of Haiti must ask, "improved for whom?" The recent attack by the PNH against unarmed demonstrators demanding Aristide's return on February 28 destroyed the credibility of several such statements made recently by the UN in Haiti and exposed the duplicitous role of their forces in propping up an unpopular regime."
