Hugo Chavez shares thoughts of why Haiti is poor. The following is a transcript of the speech given prior to Hugo Chavezs death on March 05, 2013. Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías born on July 28, 1954 - passed away on March 5, 2013) Vive Haiti! Haiti, the Black Jacobins, that of Toussaint Louverture. Haiti that of Pétion. Haiti, from where Miranda arrived with our flag, it, and a dream of several years, and a project: the South American revolution. Haiti, that of Bolivar. Haiti, that of the expeditions of Los Cayos, sister Haiti, Haiti, painful reality. Fidel Castro, as always, continues to launch his thoughts, his ideas, his contributions to the world in which we live. And this afternoon I received - this morning, rather - the reflections of Fidel, his most recent. Fidel said, permit me to read some of these deep thoughts of our companion, comrade, commander. I read: The tragedy excites, in good faith, a lot of people, specially because of its natural character. But very few of them stop and ask the question: why Haiti is a poor country? Why does the population depend almost 50% on orders sent from the outside by its families. Why not also analyze the realities that led to the current situation of Haiti and its enormous suffering? I would add that this painful moment seems opportune to reflect and get to the bottom of things: why haiti is so poor? Why is there so much misery in Haiti? I continue reading Fidel: The most curious in this story is that nobody said a word to remember that Haiti was the first country in which enslaved Africans 400,000 of them, trafficked by Europeans, rose against white owners 30,000 plantation sugar cane and coffee, fulfilling the first great social revolution of our hemisphere. Pages of unsurpassable glory could be written around the earth. The most eminent general was defeated, Napoleon, out there. Haiti is the net product colonialism. Haiti is the net product of colonialism and imperialism, of more than a century of use of its human resources in the hardest work, of military interventions and the extraction of its wealth. This historical oblivion is not so serious to the reality which is that Haiti is the shame for our time, in a world where those prevail on the exploitation and plundering of the vast majority of the inhabitants of the planet. And then continues in Fidel and his reflections by launching rays of light that lives for this moment humanity. But it is by here we start: Haiti is a net product of colonialism. Haiti is a product of imperialism. As not only will complete colonialism, as not only will complete imperialism, and I go further: as not only will complete capitalism, we have situations and people living the painful situation facing Haiti. I confess my personal experience, when several years, for the first time, we visited Haiti. I confess, I wanted to cry myself. With one of my companions, I went to see these people in the street, with elation, hope, magic and misery, and I remembered a phrase that came out of the soul, I told my companion nearest the descent of a van - we wanted to walk for a while and we ended up running into a street - I told him: look, mate, the gates of hell, inhabited by black angels. Because it is a people full of it: this is an angelic people. I ratify what President Sylia has decreed: while our commitment to our people, all the people, the Venezuelan people are with Haiti, the Bolivarian revolution is with the people of Haiti, with its pain, with its tragedy, with its hope. — in Caracas, Distrito Federal. source: https://facebook/photo.php?v=... | Website: kalepwa FB Friends: facebook/kalepwa | The following are list of term to help find this page: Haitian Rap Rapper Haitian Festival Haiti Kanaval Haiti Carnaval Business Travel Hinche Ille A Vache Okay Les Cayes Aucap Okap Cap-Haitien Port-au-Prince Jacmel Petion Ville La Gonave Gonaives St Marc Kompa Compas Konpa Compa Haiti Ayiti Ayitien Haitian Haitien Rap Kreyol Bal Hip Hop Creole Kreyol Rap Kanaval Carnaval Carnival Dominican Republic, Montreal Canada Miami New York Haiti News Haitian Music Haitian Recipes https://youtube/watch?v=mos6SY1XtLM
