Black Agenda Report continues its commitment to reporting on events in Haiti.
Haiti is once again the focus of a special issue in Black Agenda Report. Conditions in that country are dire because of outside interference from the US, UN, and the Core Group. The corporate media tell endless stories about gangs but do not mention that they wouldn't exist without the gang of oligarchs who pillage the nation.
Propaganda leads the public to believe that Haitians cannot solve their own problems and that violent interventions will help them. Nothing could be further from the truth. Black Agenda Report is proud to have focused on Haiti for many years. This level of attention is important as the US and its partners in crime are again making the case for an invasion, and this time with the help of willing Black partners.
As always Black Agenda Report addresses a variety of issues, but this week there is a special emphasis on Haitian history, opposition to further occupations, and an analysis of present day conditions.

While Gaza burns, a collaborationist class is being handed the keys to a prison and calling it a state, all in service to western imperialism.
