Peter Hallward looks at how haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide was forcibly removed from office in 2004 in a U.s.-orchestrated act of 'neo-imperial sabotage'
SUE MONTGOMERY, The Gazette
Un petit extrait parce que les gens qui ont participé au Coup d'état aiment à se faire passerpour des héros, aux coeurs purs et aux mains propres., nterressés uniquement à la cause du peuple,
Ce qui est non seulement ridicule.
Mais aussi révoltant.
Extrait :
Electoral Systems and the International Republican Institute doled out
about $70 million to "anyone and anything that might criticize and
undermine the elected government."
Traduction:
"Entre 1994 et 2002, USAID, la Fondation internationale pour le système électoral, et
l'Institut International Républicain (iRI) ont versé à peu près 70 millions de $ " pour n'importe quoi et
à n'importe qui pouvant critiquer et déstabiler le gouvernement constitutionnel."
