Aristide, after leaving the priesthood, went on to become the first democratically-elected President of Haiti. The protests were also in opposition to the series of massacres that have been taking place in the neighborhoods surrounding Saint-Jean Bosco church; massacres backed by the U.S.-supported Haitian government.

Today on Sojourner Truth: An in-depth discussion with Haiti expert Kevin Pina, independent journalist, filmmaker and founder of the Haiti Information Project. He's also the special correspondent for Flash Points, a show on Pacifica's KPFA. We have a wide-ranging discussion about Haiti's history and current events, including why the U.S., France and Canada have made it a priority to keep the nation impoverished.

As the world rightfully demands no sanctions, no coup and no war on Venezuela, another crime scene rife with US fingerprints demands our attention. Kevin Pina joins us to talk about the ongoing crisis in Haiti, the history and present of US involvement and the larger context we must grasp if we are ever to loosen this imperialist stranglehold. In short, colonialism didn’t die - it just put on a suit and tie. http://haitiinformationproject.net/ http://www.haitiemergencyrelief.org/ https://haitisolidarity.net/ http://www.ijdh.org/

Today on Sojourner Truth with Margaret Prescod: Yesterday, in his speech before the U.N. General Assembly, Donald Trump boasted that his administration had achieved more than almost any other president in U.S. history, causing world leaders to break out in laughter. Clips from that moment were shown around the world. But not so fast. Trump used his speech to underscore his America First foreign policy, including trade and support for Israel. He praised Kim Jong Un and Poland, while attacking Iran, China, Germany, the U.N. Human Rights Council, OPEC, Venezuela and immigrants. Today, he is expected to continue his attacks especially on Iran as he chairs the U.N. Security Council. To discuss all this, we welcome Dr. Gerald Horne. And an update on Haiti. A new Prime Minister has been announced following the reshuffling of the government following a nation-wide uprising against the government by the Haitian grassroots this past July. Who is Jean Henry Ceant, now Haitis new PM? Our guest is journalist and Haiti expert Kevin Pina. Also, A New Way of Life (ANWOL) will have its annual film festival this weekend.

Today on Flashpoints, we continue our drumbeat coverage of the situation in Haiti as the violent, US-backed coup surges into another week. We hear the words of a twelve year-old Haitian girl in hiding from the death squads; Flashpoints correspondent Kevin Pina returns with an on-the- ground report; We go to the Central African Republic where Aristide’s lawyers meet with him for the first time as they begin to map out a legal strategy to undo the coup; A rebroadcast of Aristide’s first address to the Haitian people, a Flashpoints exclusive; A roundtable discussion on Haiti through the eyes of Haitian and American women activists; Poetry by homeless youth on a new Flashpoints segment, Roaddawgz . The post Flashpoints – March 8, 2004 appeared first on KPFA.

Kevin Pina is an independent journalist and filmmaker who is from California and has been living in Port of Prince, Haiti for last 5 years. He has formed the Haiti Information Project and has trained local Haitian reporters as well. They are all very brave as they film on the ground and report what's going on with the poor and disenfranchised people in this Caribbean island country, especially since their duly elected President, Jean Bertrand Aristide, was removed from his office and the country, to be replaced by a government that seems to be making life much more difficult for Haiti's people, the majority of whom are poor and suffering.In this show Pina gives history, analysis and up-to-date information about what is going on in July 2005 in Haiti. It seems the United Nations "peacekeeping" force is breaking into people's shacks in the poorest areas of Port of Prince, and sometimes even killing people, including young children, with shots to the head. Pina has very graphic, sad, shocking and awful film of these horrible killings. As this is being written, Fr Jean Juste, an incredible priest who works to feed as many people as possible, mostly children, is being imprisoned for speaking out against the present regime.
