Kim Ives, journalist and co-founder of the international weekly newspaper Haiti Liberté, explains the current political situation in Haiti and neighboring countries, the struggle of the people for control of their economy against US imposed policies undermining pro-people economic development, resisting President Martelly's and Bill Clinton's pro-rich orientation that is turning Haiti into a $5 a day cheap labor local Taiwan, preventing the people sharing even in their gold wealth. From Haiti Liberté's New York office (where he's based), Ives walks us through Haiti's early history until the present, including the US removal of Presdient Aristede from power and his current role.
