You know people ask for donations and then the people of haiti dont get it. They still have shit its pathetic I donate and donate to make a change. And it seems like it still looks like what it did before the quake happened. And its been almost a year and nothing? the government lies pure bullshitters. Its like we gotta go other there ourselves to make a change in the haitian lives. Which 1 will one of these days its my goal.

@daniells71 I would not be surprised. But what really happened after Baby Doc fell post 1986, contracts were signed to allow produce (e.g., rice) to come in to the country much cheaper than us. In effect it killed our agriculture and put the farmers out of business. Then, most of the farmers went to Port-au-Prince to find work. This situation overcrowded PAP resulting in 300,000 deaths from the earthquake. Our government can reverse the agricultural policies but they do not want to.

@GmanZouk the only way to explain how Haiti’s trade regulations could be so weak is that it is done intentionally. I think government officials are being paid off to allow importers to dump the excess produce out there. The world has lots of greedy and “shortsighted” people.

The video states that Haiti imports almost everything. That is true. But the Haitian people are not lazy. Haiti has the potential to grow its own food (e.g., rice, mangos, coffee, sugar). The problem is that multi-nationals lowered their tariffs and flooded the Haitian market with their goods. In effect, the Haitians growers could not compete and drove them out of business. What needs to be done is a regulation of those tariffs to allow Haiti to compete so that jobs can be created.

1000 trucks are needed to clean up Haiti. Out of billions of dollars that were received thanks to the world’s generosity only 100 million was actually disbursed. If more money would be disbursed for specific projects 1000 trucks can be purchased for the cleanup. There are 8 million unemployed people in Haiti. They can be given work to cleanup the rubbles. Six months after the earthquake it is incredible to see millions of unemployed with crossed harms. We need the funds to be disbursed!

Great journalism. I’ve heard American interests have been crafting Haiti to become another second or third-world production nation like Malaysia, Taiwan or other ‘silicon valley’ places. I think we need to take on board what Ostenio Lious Jean [forgive me if my spellings off
] had to say, Haiti is fertile and recieves half a year of rain – let it offer the world (and its people) what it has to offer agriculturally. US+ industries still operate with agriculture, lol, “bio…” this “bio” that

support should go to the peasant organization for permaculture training and planting that will have them sustainable in 2-3years. alongside this annual crops could be planted that produce rapidly. a warm country like haiti has all it requires, except maybe enough seed stock?[non-gmo]

@ANDjjela The U.S. and other White Christian nations have done all the help over there. Where was all the North & South Black African leaders to help???? There sorry asses did not spend a penny to help & North Black African leaders starve their own people to death because of greed. It’s Black leaders who do not want them to prosper dumb ass.

@manouchecamf
’cause you haitians are always crying about haiti being shitty, bad, and poor.
And because your …’leaders’ have nothing better to do than steal all the money and give a rat’s ass about the haitian people.
