Скачать или смотреть George Galloway interviews Kim Ives about the chaos in Haiti

Haiti, the first country in the world to overthrow slavery, has been sinking for many years. All the metrics of a failed state are present there. Rampant criminality, rigged elections, gang supremacy, foreign meddling, drug-trading, oligarchs, and, now, the assassination of their president.


Who did what and why is still hazy, but here’s what we know: a president past his mandate was murdered in his home in a commando operation involving at least 22 people, two of them Americans and the rest Colombians. The prime minister, who had already resigned, is now in charge of an island that’s in a state of siege. Beyond that, few people know, so we turned to someone who does.


In the second part of episode 393 aboard the Sputnk, Gayatri and George interview journalist, documentary maker, and editor at Haiti Liberté Kim Ives, to explain just what is happening in Haiti.
