country. Mostly reported in the corporate media is the
reported violence of Lavalas towards the Opposition, but
what is not being reported is the increasing violence of the

the US and France squeezes the Haitian government, they
actively fund grass roots organizations that undermine
President Aristide.

01:04  Haiti General Strike:
Special correspondent Kevin Pina on the phone speaks with
Dennis. In an apparent replay of the Venezuelan uprising of
April 2002, US- and French-backed right-wing minority
opposition to Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide
launched a 2-day general strike to further its
destabilization campaign in the hopes that Aristide could be
removed. Kevin describes the effect of the strike and also
the unreported murder, violence and arson against Aristide
supporters. More on this story tomorrow.
