Haiti Food Crisis

Back


June 2008
Haiti is facing a major food crisis as riots break out in the capital Port-au-Prince. Five people have died, the Prime Minister was forced to resign and authorities fear the worst is yet to come!
All produce, even eggs, are imported here, leaving Haiti at the hands of the global market. Although blessed with fertile land, farmers have no machinery and are forced to use their hands. A farmer says "we cannot compete with other farmers who have the technology to back them". People are even eating mud cookies to relieve hunger. The Haitian government have turned to International crisis funds for immediate food relief but what will happen in the long run?

Only black people can solve our problems. Our first step should be education. Foreign aid is just a band aid. It's not a long-term solution.

I dont get it. Why are people now associating Haiti with Africa? Because its hungry now they all of a sudden wish it was in Africa? News flash to you all, most of the so African countries you are looking down upon like South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco just to name a few can afford a three square meal for their citizens, and afford to feed Hiti if asked for help. Fact guys.

U r actually not listening since u have a particular viewpoint and ur so caught up in it that u fail to see reality.

1. foreign aid is NOT aid. Its manipulation
2. we help ppl bcoz we r human

Aid is a monopoly of all goods and services, raw materials and control. Only in this framework can the New World Order gain full control. In the United States, u are constantly helping the One World Government to obtain control of the world's natural resources by being tricked into giving part of your income for this purpose. It is called "foreign aid."
