Professor Alex Dupuy, who is Haitian. writes that “There is no doubt that the dominant economic and political classes of Haiti bear great responsibility for the abysmal conditions in the country that exacerbated the impact of the earthquake (or of hurricanes or tropical storms). However, these local actors did not create these conditions alone but did so in close partnership with foreign governments and economic actors with long-standing interests in Haiti, principally those of the advanced countries-the United States, Canada, and France-and their international financial institutions (IFIs)-the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Inter-American Development Bank”.He outlines a five-point Agenda for Change, beginning with rejection of structural adjustment polices, a large-scale public works programme and prioritisation of food security and food sovereignty.
Dr Dupuy i hear u loud and clear and will post your article at facebook. Gracias
Norman:
i am in Haiti and will be here (with the Cubans i am a forensic nurse as well as an Atty . i have also been joined by my 36 yrs old daughter who is a pediatric surgeon and my brother who practices in Cuba. Norman i have been here from day one(maybe two) i flew in from Prico met the Doctors without borders there and got on board.
What i have seen here is unimaginable. i thought Katrina was bad but, need i tell u more.
i have been asked for interviews but Cuba does none we leave that the Dr Sanjay Gupta and CNN ABC FOX etc.
However i have agreed to speak with a couple of progressive community radio shows once i decide which is most important helping or viol Cubas rules, so i know now that i will wait until i am stateside. After all i am a guest of DWB although a Cuban.
i am leaving two URLS and i hope that they will not be bounced because all of the Monday morn quarterbacks needs some enlightning..so that they can understand why and how the wonderful people that i have fallen in love with again have been injured by the insanity of the US and its allies (french) All that i am revealing is just a crux of the issues.
Norman Children have been kidnapped and this has been told to me by parents and siblings who worked at the orphanges..American Dr’s are also leaving cannot handle the pressure or task and have abandoned the people blaming the Haitan looters etc.
Some are claiming that food is being taken and viol is prevalent .This is not true as i am here and i have yet to see anything other than people begging? and being murdered by foreign soldiers and local police.
Norman we go to places no other Drs other than the Caribbean med personnel will go i am on a ship half the night where i am allowed to use computers my blackberry and get a few hrs sleep. i spend the other half the day in a makeshift hosp doing what i can with a body bag or without.
My dauther is at la paz a makeshift hosp video below of us both where anyone can come for care and since her exp is children her hands are full
Unicef said that over 231 children have come missing and they fear its kidnapping..My question is how can this happen?
Norman i need your help please please put his info out there. We need Doctors..we need them badly u can see me at facebook milagros garcia villamil where i have about 2 hrs a day to keep people up to date. There are hundreds of haitian fam all over who will take those children my concern is why if they are legal did this happen after the disaster..This is too convenient?
Last the US military has been accused of kidnapping adult men and women from airports oceansides where they are hoping to leave the island and taking them to rural areas and leaving them without food water etc & strippig them of thier clothing.
Last the risk of harvesting organs of the deceased……>
