haiti is under siege by violent gangs enabled by US imperialism. there is gunfire outside her door. she is terrified of dying. she has tears all over her face, and is asking herself and god and us where else she can go. โif yall donโt hear me, im deadโ.
she sounds like my mom. im in tears with her. would you want your mothers in this situation? watching this makes my stomach turn in fear for her. there is an entire country of people like her with the same fear. i wish more ppl would report on this :(
frankly, iโm not reading the comments under this. especially by ppl asking what the US has to do with this. seek the knowledge of haitian journalists and activists online (like on this very site) that have been reporting on haitian news since the very beginning.
โSaving foreignersโ always the pretext for Caribbean invasion: The US and Canada are preparing for a ground invasion in Haiti, in order to have their preferred new โprime ministerโ installed given the blatant illegitimacy of their previously installed (via tweet) PM, Ariel Henry.
Friendly Reminder: Majority of local Haitians do not want another intervention or occupation. Here's a write up from Haitian in Haiti. I translated it in English for you all and to the Haitian diasporas who is calling for it. Our people say NO. NON.
i will also say that i regret not being more careful with my words in this tweet. to my knowledge, these are part of an intentional campaign to destabilize haiti again with violence so the US and co have an excuse to colonize it (again). all of our struggles are connected.
there is never enough space to explain the breadth of these things on twitter ๐ but i will do my best to link info from ppl whoโve do much better explaining us imperialism in haiti than i can. all of our struggles are connected.
these are the times in which haitian voices need to supported, because a lot of the information being shared does not come from caring hearts.
accounts that talk about haiti: @/15Delle @/francophobicc @/natayaska and myself and others
THERE ARE US MARINES IN HAITI!!!
Haitians have been telling y'all all day yesterday! Now there are further plans being drawn up for another military occupation of Haiti by the Pentagon and a base to house the troops in near the airport. Do not let this pass your radar!
Haitian students are facing danger of losing their academic progress due to the US inciting chaos in Haiti through their paramilitaries. Medical facilities are under attack so Haitians cannot receive help. Do you understand how intentional this is? This looks familiar!

@iiHeartPolitics
How can you say Haiti is under seige, by their own violent gangs, then blame American Imperialism. Who even knows what that is. Its obvious the violent gangs are Haitian people, killing their own people
@lightenjoyer
So America intervenes its the America's fault and when America doesn't intervene its still the Americas fault. Let's be real if the entire West disappeared tomorrow Hati still remains the same for at least another 100 years.
