Naomi Klein on Haiti
Naomi Klein has an article in the Guardian about Haiti. It details some of the recent U.N. violence against Aristide supporters - a topic that's received little coverage. Klein reports that Aristide believes the drive for privatisation was the motive in ousting him. It's worth reading the account he provides Klein of reaching an agreement with the Clinton administration to return him to power in exchange for enacting neoliberal policies. When he failed to carry them out with sufficient fervor, Washington began funding the anti-democratic opposition groups.
