By Haiti Democracy Project in the Inter-American Dialogue’s Latin America Advisor, February 18, 2022. Haiti can’t do this alone, torn to pieces by intra-elite strife and the gangs they send out.

This donation from supplies in Haiti will be a game-changer for the numerous families thrown out of their homes who now have no place to live, at least temporary shelter until they can begin to rebuild. To capitalize on this donation we need to come through with more to transport this stuff south

How to get aid to the victims in the south? Let Wiselaine Dorcélus, leader of the women candidates, take it there herself! She is now collecting medical and hygienic supplies and clothing for a trip to Sud, Grand’ Anse, and Nippes where women candidates and their families are in distress.

By Haiti Democracy Project in the Washington Post. Washington has pulled out so many of the supports that Jovenel Moïse will be lucky to make it through his term. It has completely dismantled the protective edifice that three U.S. presidents erected for Haitian presidents over many years

The Haiti Democracy Project loudly urged the U.N. to stay in 2017, while other pundits nodded off.
