Haitian sociologist Carl Denis writes in El Siglo newspaper that Haiti is much worse off today than prior to the 1991 OAS-sponsored embargo to reinstate Jean Bertrand Aristide. Denis says that as a result of the embargo, Haiti lost thousands of direct and indirect jobs (in free zones), the cost of living skyrocketed, and the Haitian currency lost value. He criticized that Aristide, once reinstated propitiated chaos and insecurity that has no parallel in the Americas, even in Colombia. As a consequence, he says migration accelerated to the DR. Now, he writes, the OAS wants to make up for its mistakes by making an innocent pay. He says that the OAS pretends that the DR permanently lodge all those that are seeking refuge as a consequence of the shallowness and thoughtlessness in OAS actions in Haiti. Denis says the OAS move destroyed the Haitian Armed Forces, Haitian justice, economy, contributed to the present ecological disaster, and has planted desolation in Haiti. He proposes that the Armed Forces be restored, and that Aristide be removed from the shelter of bandits in which he has turned Haiti (with the OAS blessing). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
