Haiti Food Crisis



Uploaded by: journeymanpictures
Video Description:
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?

I have to respond ... ( 2 weeks ago by go0diesz84)
I have to respond to this. Aristide was always for the people of Haiti. The US didnt want him to continue his term because he was doing the right thing for the country. So therefore the coup d'etat happened, the US found Aristide and threatened him and his family's life to flee the country into exile. Now the country is in a far worse situation than when Aristide was in office.
that's fucking true ... ( 2 weeks ago by Frantzu)
that's fucking true i'm was born and raised in haiti, and these people just don't fucking like trees!!! they cut them down. If if the USAID explained to them that they wouldn't have any agriculture without trees it wouldn't make a difference because the haitian population is not educated. it's their only way to make a living.

look i am NOT saying americans r bad ppl. or that america doesnt give aid. WHAt i am saying is that western foreign policies CREATE social injustice in the world thus famine/starvation occurs. There is tooo much of this stuff going on. for example when US (and OTHERS) give aid they DEMAND certain things that nation hav to put in place even tho for the long run it will b detrimental to their economy or agriculture for long run. YET they hav 2 accept bcoz their ppl r starving NOW.
Why shouldn't we ... ( 2 weeks ago by seka1986)
Why shouldn't we make demands if they accept aid? Look at what china does, they give money to African nations without demands and it only perpetuates the corruption and graft. China gives to them so they can use them. The demands are to improve their future. Giving aid is one thing but what can we do so they don't need aid?

so ur ok with say ur nxt door neighbour needing help from u BUT instead just helping bcoz of ur humanity - u PUT conditions on it.
ABSOLUTELY NOT! thats ridiculous

Foreign aid, is nothing more that a program for robbing and plundering countries of their natural resources, and handing U.S. taxpayer's money to dictators in those countries, so that the Elite can reap obscene benefits from the illegal plunder, while the American people, no better than the slaves of the Egyptian Pharaohs, groan under the huge burden of "foreign aid."
Yes, if my neighbor ... ( 2 weeks ago by seka1986)
Yes, if my neighbor is a stinking drunk and wants help I might say hey, clean up your act and don't drink and I'll give you some cash for food or clothes; don't expect me to fund your booze! SO YES I WILL PUT CONDITIONS ON IT!
OK, I guess we just ... ( 2 weeks ago by seka1986)
OK, I guess we just shouldn't give out aid then. Nice solution.
Array ( 2 weeks ago by Badwolf182)

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."
Like I said, your ... ( 2 weeks ago by seka1986)
Like I said, your solution is give no aid. I like it.

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

I dont get it. Why ... ( 1 week ago by mukenia12)
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.

maybe the fat slobs living in the US can donate some of their body fat.
Only black people ... ( 6 days ago by monopinion)
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.
