Haiti : In a State of Permanent War and Cholera January 12, 2014 marks the 4 year anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti. It is a disaster of unparalleled dimensions in the human history. Haiti - the beacon of African liberation has been in constant assault since they beat the French imperialist in the early 1800's. In a recent article - Ezili Danto comments on the history and contemporary moment in Haiti she says: "Haiti has been a reflection of European and US inhumanity towards the poor and African since their "New World" and updated feudal social order began. At this moment in Haiti ...It's still an international crime scene hidden behind false benevolence, false brotherhood, false charity, false aid. Those billed as the "do-gooders" are about initiating or exacerbating catastrophe then capitalizing on catastrophe. That's the profitable, parasitic formula."
