Occupied Haiti Resource Page




On February 29, 2004, Haiti's elected government led by Jean Bertrand Aristide was overthrown by right wing militias linked to Haitian elites and the US government. After the coup, American, French and Canadian troops occupied the country in order to preserve what had transpired, including the imposition of a puppet government and the abolition of the minimum wage. A year on, the puppet regime continues to repress Aristide's Lavalas Party, which is the largest and most popular in Haiti. The Canadian RCMP is overseeing the training of the Haitian police, which are committing massacres against the popular movements for democracy and Aristide's return. This A&S Resource Page contains background analysis and breaking news on the occupation and pro-Aristide resistance.
