Breakthrough News has had consistently excellent coverage of Haiti going back quite a while now. You can check out some of their older videos, for example the ones they made after the assassination of the former president last year. In some of them they went into the history of Haiti a little as well. Haiti has a long history of colonial occupation, regime change, western backed dictatorship, sanctions and other incredibly destructive forms of meddling. It seems the colonial powers never forgave them for liberating themselves, being the first and only successful slave revolt in history. They were made to pay incredibly punitive reparations to their former slave owners for over a hundred years. Every time they were starting to recover and build themselves up the west would interfere, overthrow the government and impose austerity, send in its corporations to loot their resources and exploit them for cheap labor.

1. US puppet lead Haiti

2. The US puppet is so hated and incompetent that unrest is rising, risking a potential revolution that might actually bring some real democracy (or at least make it harder for the US to exploit Haiti)

3. the US have their own puppet assassinated using columbian mercenaries led by people linked to US drug enforcement authorities and try to hide them in the nearby embassy to taiwan

4. for some reason once the suspiciously high number of element linking the assassins to the US start being know, the media lose interest in the story

5. a new US puppet replace the previous one

6. the people also hate the new puppet and unrest is rising again, with people daring to ask for a leader that might maybe serve them instead of a foreign government

7. The US dog in charge of Haiti asks its masters to send military assistance to crush the unrest <= we are here
