Foreign Aid to Haiti Re #Matthew
gee.. in your country the state does not have the right of eminent domain?
they do not buidling codes?
have you ever seen Port au Prince?
most of the land in Haiti belongs to the State
but then most of the land in Haiti is mountains
The State of Haiti took some land from some small farmers up in Wanamet to build the Groupo M factory
there was an international uprising from the LEFT
boycotting Levis.. internationally.. as they had a contract with Groupo M
They boycotted in London and in San Francisco
The factory has an entrance on the DR side.. but most of it is in fact on Haitian land. .No one would Hatian after the riots under Aristide had destroyed the factories. They were only willing to invest if the Dominican military could protect it. Well Groupo M is Dominican but the project was done with a World Bank loan.
the Left raised an uproar about exploitation about taking of fertile farm land etc etc etc etc
The factory employs 1500 Haitians.. actually the largest employer in Ouanaminthe
that was the use of eminent domain
i am for it.,. yes.

but then in your country the people who own so called "private" property are really just leasing it from the state or maybe you live in a state with no property taxes? and maybe your state will not confiscate your property if you do not pay your taxes. That is how it works in all of the places that I have lived in the US but your states might be different

For those who might wish to donate..
I can recommend any of the following organizations based on the following
All are in Haiti, led by Haitians, and do not have foreign offices
All are non sectarian
All are dedicated to uplifting the lives of the small farmers in the rural areas
All have been recommended to me by more than two Haitians who are very involved in development and whose opinions I value
One may suit one's personal values more than another
I put them in the order as they come to my mind

Il est 3:50 PM Un petit compte rendu du passage de Matthieu en Haiti (LU POUR VOUS)
Personne ne sait vraiment l'?tendue de tous les d?g?ts caus?s par Matthew, mais ils sont de toute ?vidence catastrophiques!
1. Il pleuvine sur P?tion-Ville, le brouillard est parti et les vents sont pratiquement tomb?s, si ce ne sont que des rafales isol?es. Il semblerait, au moins pour cette commune, que le pire soit derri?re elle.
2. Toutes les communications sont coup?es avec la Grande Anse. Les derni?res nouvelles datent de ce matin 9 heures AM.
3. Extr?me pointe Ouest, de Tiburon ? J?r?mie : d?g?ts mat?riels importants routes, maisons, r?coltes en majeure partie d?truites, 5 gros villages de p?cheurs pratiquement inexistants (L?Ilet, Embouchure Malette, Rousselin, Lailler, Bariadelle et Petite Rivi?re )
4. Grande Anse Est: bas Pestel sous les eaux : ?coles d?truites de m?me que le temple Adventiste.
5. ?les Caimittes d?vast?es par les vents et la mer en furie. Nombre de maisons endommag?es ou d?truites ? la campagne. 3 villages ont refus? de bouger, seule la communaut? de Z?b guinnen a ?t? d?plac?e?
6. M?me histoire ? Duchity, Beaumont, etc? Corail assi?g?e par les vagues. R?coltes de caf? ? Beaumont, Duchittis et Pestel, r?coltes d?ignames et de pois Congo perdues
7. ? date pas de morts signal?s
8. Le cimeti?re de Bariadelle a ?t? d?vast?. Les cadavres ont ?t? retrouv?s partout dans le village. Certains d?entre eux sont morts de Chol?ra. C?est une situation pour le moins inqui?tante
9. ? J?r?mie environ 100 maisons pr?s de Caracoli ont ?t? d?truites
10. La ville historique a ?t? d?truite, presque toutes les anciennes gingerbread de la ville sont par terre. ? Dantesque ! ? m?a rapport? Jean-Claude Fignol?
11. Bien que la Marine Am?ricaine ait d?p?ch? trois bateaux dans la Cara?bes, que le gouvernement Ha?tien ait officiellement demand? au gouvernement am?ricain de lui venir en aide, le D?partement de la D?fense Am?ricain n'a apparemment pas encore confirm? avoir donn? l?ordre ? ses soldats d?intervenir en Ha?ti.
12. Prisons:
- 42 prisonniers ont ?t? d?plac?s de Miragoane vers Fonds des N?gres
- 323 de Mackandal ? J?r?mie vers le commissariat de la Source
- 60 d'Aquin vers Port-au-Prince
- 102 du commissariat des Cayes vers un ? abri s?r ?
13. Le bord de mer de Baie de Henne dans le Nord?Ouest a ?t? ?vacu?e en raison de forts vents, de grosses vagues et de fortes pluies.
14. L??cole de Fontaine dans la Commune de la Victoire dans le Nord a ?t? emport?e par les vents.
