"Hundreds Killed Every Day" by Well-Equipped Former Military
March 16, 2004
"Hundreds Killed Every Day" by Well-Equipped Former Military
The 28-year-old former mayor of Milo, a town of 50,000 in northern Haiti, told reporters that the formerly disbanded Haitian military is now killing hundreds of people. Jean Charles Moise, who is now in hiding, said that "the journalists are in Port-au-Prince, but here in the north no one is reporting what's going on, that the former Haitian military is killing people. They are killing about 50 people a day in Cap Haitien."
Moise also said the former army has been equipped with sophisticated weaponry, including helicopters and planes, and asked reporters to find out where it was coming from. He said that the army, which killed thousands of Haitian dissidents during the US-supported Duvalier dictatorships, was traditionally used to oppress the poor of Haiti before it was disbanded by President Aristide in 1994.
Moise also drew attention to the achievements of Haiti's democratic government, and asked why the US chose to destabilize the country with an aid embargo.
"One has to ask, why is all of this happening? Is this because we used to have only 10 public high schools but now we have over 150?"

There is a crisis in the media in the West. The Murdoch wannabes are swallowing more and more of what we used to call the free press. There are honourable exceptions, and a beacon among them is The Dominion which, in its coverage of its community, of Canada and the wider world, is a rare, authentic independent voice -- of people not of power. I salute The Dominion.
--John Pilger, journalist, author, filmmaker

About the Dominion
The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
