Haiti: We Must Kill the Bandits

Haiti Bandits

Kevin Pina's gripping, 66 minute documentary film, Haiti: We Must Kill the Bandits, has been released in late 2010 for general distribution. Consisting of footage and commentary by the filmmaker and interview subjects, it tells the story of the foreign military intervention that overthrew elected government in Haiti in 2004 and then established the military occupation force known as MINUSTAH. Today, MINUSTAH numbers 13,500 soldiers, police and administrative personnel.

Hands Off Haiti CD

The “Hands Off Haiti” compilation album is a project of the Canada Haiti Action Network (CHAN), a grassroots group of activists based in most provinces across Canada that have actively been involved in Haiti solidarity work since 2004.

Funds raised from sales of the “Hands Off Haiti” compilation album go directly to the Haitian-based grassroots organizations and efforts including the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund, Partners in Health and the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti.

CHAN supports the list of principles outlined at the international Kongres Bwa Kayiman (KBK) conference of February, 2005, in which Haiti solidarity activists from various countries reiterated their support for Haitian democracy.

"We've Been Forgotten": Conditions in Haiti's Displacement Camps Eight Months After the Earthquake

September 24, 2010. The Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti has just produced a 48 page report on the conditions of survivors of the January 12 earthquake. Some of its findings are based on a comprehensive survery of 52 families in six internally displaced persons (IDP) camps in the Port au Prince region. The report also outlines the legal and humanitarian obligations of the Haitian government and donor countries and agencies. The report says there are 1.3 million people living in 1,300 makeshift IDP camps in and around Port au Prince .
