As protests demanding the resignation of President Jovenel Moïse in Haiti rage on this month, leaving at least 18 dead and close to 200 injured, it is worth remembering the devastating massacre that took place because of similar political opposition almost one year ago.

The Lasalin Massacre: Is it an accidental event, a fight between rival gangs to control an area, or a calculated and planned political act? by Vladimir Durace.

The Lasalin Massacre: Is it an accidental event, a fight between rival gangs to control an area, or a calculated and planned political act? by Vladimir Durace.

This article, originally written in Haitian Kreyol for Haiti Solidarity in February 2019, was translated by Haiti Action Committee.

Lasalin, a shantytown in the capital of Haiti, is crossed by two main thoroughfares, which make it a strategic area coveted by several economic and political groups for many reasons. On one side is Jean-Jacques Dessalines Boulevard, with Lasaline Boulevard on the…

#Haiti: Still no investigation into last November's #LaSaline massacre, the biggest mass killing in many years. If 59 people were murdered in #Venezuela, it would be international news. A respected human rights group blames gangs directed by the National Police. @ChallengePetro https://t.co/mBr68DtAht

The Truth About Jimmy "Barbecue" Cherizier

Portraying Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier as a revolutionary defies the large accumulation of documentation to the contrary. The documentation includes an order on July 19, 2024, by an investigative judge in Haiti naming Barbecue and others in connection with the Lasalin massacre; site provides English translation. Please read and share this documentation widely. It is quite helpful. The…

Christ in Alabama Christ is a nigger, Beaten and black: Oh, bare your back!

Mary is His mother: Mammy of the South. Silence your mouth.

God is His father: White Master above Grant Him your love.

Most holy bastard Of the bleeding mouth. Nigger Christ On the cross Of the South.

by Langston Hughes

The title of this poem Christ in Alabama is significant, representing as it does, everyone who is senselessly killed because they are different, have different beliefs, religions, skin tones, etc. And though it is set in Alabama, U.S.A., where many Afrikan people have been killed, this poem also mirrors Haiti – where Afrikans who were once enslaved by Euro-Amerikkka fought a titanic battle for liberation from 1791 – 1804 – & won; & so are vilified / murdered to this day for daring to be free…

“According to radio and witness reports the police have been shooting at unarmed protestors, wounding and killing an undetermined number. The situation on the ground in Haiti has been worsening as the Moise regime, backed by the U.S. and the UN, has ramped up a savage campaign of repression against the population. In the Port-au-Prince area alone, the list of attacks includes the police killing of a student leader on 10/31/18, the shootings during the week of 11/5/18 of teachers and high school students in Site Soley (Cite Soleil) protesting months of non-payment of overdue salaries and the lack of educational supplies, the mass killings and land-grab expulsion in Kanaan (Canaan) and the massacres on November 13 and 17, 2018 in the community of Lasalin (La Saline).” —from Hold the U.S./U.N. Occupation Accountable

    “Fanmi Lavalas Political Organization strongly condemns the massacre that the Jovenel and Ceant regime conducted in Lasalin where they assassinated many innocent people. The bodies of the victims they’ve shot, photos of the innocents they have mutilated with machetes are in plain sight for all to see. These bodies are piled on garbage heaps as this criminal regime engages in terror to prevent the battle of Vertieres commemoration from putting an end to their misdeeds. This must stop. These massacres will not make us back down…..” —from Fanmi Lavalas Press Release Nov 15, 2018

“But Haiti is rising up, and she is fighting back! With the swiftness of a Muhammad Ali strike, Haiti reminds us that we have not ever been n****rs, and that we always define our tree of liberty, and our “place” as being free.” —from “Resisting the lynching of Haitian liberty”
