March 27, 2014 - Campaign to End the Occupation of Haiti 1. Jean-Bertrand Aristide of Fanmi Lavalas - Elected by 91.7 % of Haitis electorate in 2000. Removed by Western Powers on Feb 29, 2004 As Haiti’s first democratically elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide recognized that Haiti’s economic woes stem from the 90 million gold francs ($24 billion U.S.) Haiti was forced to pay Paris as compensation for taking its freedom from France with the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804). By the end of the 19th century, payments to France consumed around 80% of Haiti’s budget. In 2003, on behalf of the Haitian population President Aristide publicly requested that France pay Reparations for extorting the island nation between 1825 and 1947. According to several sources, the U.S., Canada and France supported the second coup d’etat which removed Aristide from power as punishment for the Haitian leader’s demand for reparations; his policy to increase Haiti’s daily minimum wage to 25 gourds ($3.00) a day; and other populous policies, including school construction, literacy programs, and higher taxes on the rich. These policies angered an unpopular opposition movement run largely by a mulatto elite that has traditionally controlled Haiti’s economy. That movement of the elite, Western powers and Dominican death squads executed the coup on 29 February 2004 leading to Aristide’s abduction by US Marines and forced exile to the Central African Republic. Despite this, Aristide remained defiant. “I am the elected president and I remain the elected president,” Mr. Aristide said at a news conference in Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic. In 2011 Aristide defied the U.S. and returned to Haiti. https://facebook/FranceOwesHaitiReperations/photos/a.484051111613107.114667.484017601616458/491646864186865/?type=1&theater Jean-Bertrand Aristide: They Kidnapped Me and Destroyed Democracy in Haiti https://facebook/photo.php?v=735416549809894&set=vb.484017601616458&type=3&theater Does France Owe Haiti $21 Billion? youtube/watch?v=o7ow3zowilk C.I.A Operation in Haiti Before the Earthquake youtube/watch?v=FIWBsjnJ_eA Ira Kurzban on Aristide kidnapping 2-way - Haiti youtube/watch?v=DNCLaQUL7gk Aristide and the Endless Revolution - A critically acclaimed documentary by Nicolas Rossier youtube/watch?v=LRH_q7eRy1M Please if you have not done so already, sign and share the on-line petition demanding France pay Haiti back the $22 billion for the Independence Debt bit.ly/1jKnU8W On-line Petition - in English ipetitions/petition/restitution4haiti/ On-line Petition - In French ipetitions/petition/restitutionpourhaiti/ On-line Petition - In Kreyol ipetitions/petition/Restitisyonpouayiti/ youtu.be/o7ow3zowilk
