There was a hearing in front of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs which ended with a summary letter of policy recommendations to Secretary of State Blinken

The Biden Administration has already changed one aspect of US policy on Haiti by extending the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of Haitians in the United States

There was a hearing in front of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs which ended with a summary letter of policy recommendations to Secretary of State Blinken

Here is the video of the hearing -

starts a minute 15

See at hour 1:08 - from New Jersey - on the military? Are the Ambassadors of other countries speaking out?

It would seem to me that the Ambassador from the Dominican Republic ought to be the one who has the most interest in being heard by this committee - which is the House Foreign Affairs Committee

See at 1:21 for former US Ambassador Pamela White comments on low reported number from Haiti when DR numbers are 8 or 9 times as high - saying her sources on the ground report the figures are accurate

 

[mountainannie]

That response - from the Ambassador - who also served throughout Africa - speaks to the question of Haiti & her recognition of Taiwan rather than China - (Haiti is one of 7 countries that does not recognize "Red" China) - and China's incursion?

See 1:27 - on Haiti not traditionally being a country that sent refugees but received them? From Brian Mast - from Martin County Florida

See 1:31 for the start of America's original and brutal relationship with Haiti

(the questions rotate between Democrats and Republicans and you will perhaps notice a difference in the thrust of their questions)

OK- I have been called on my a dear Haitian friend to help them keep connected with news from the US and "advise" - so I will just leave that there for any of the few who might be interested as I have a lot of other work to do... abrazos
