Haiti Life and Death Struggle in Defence of Sovereignty and People's Right to Take Decisions 
April 1,
2021.
Ongoing demonstrations in Haiti. The
people of Haiti have for several
months been waging a non-stop fight to rid themselves of an
illegitimate foreign-backed dictator who refused to relinquish power
when his term expired, but has carried on ruling by decree, persecuting
his opponents and engaging in one unconstitutional act after another to
prevent the people from expressing their democratic will. The Haitian
people's actions in defence of their rights are all the more heroic
because they are standing up to an entire "multilateral" arsenal of
imperialist subversion and violence aimed at preventing them from
empowering themselves as the masters of their own destiny.
Their
determination to put an end to the death squad democracy that the U.S.
and its Core Group (Canada, France, Germany, Spain,
Brazil, the European Union and representatives of the United Nations
and
the Organization of American States) have imposed on Haiti is
profoundly
patriotic and anti-imperialist. The Haitian people's struggle for
freedom, democracy and human rights in today's conditions shows they
are worthy sons and daughters of the formerly enslaved people who,
through their own revolutionary efforts, defeated successive European
powers and were the first to throw off both slavery and colonial rule
over 200 years ago.
