復興を妨げている問題・要因と思われること;

    −−−Préval's moves ceding Haitian sovereignty to foreign officials and increasing his own power have provided an opening for the political opposition. (以下略)
  • Haiti: Madrid meeting rejects "humanitarian alibi"

    On May 16 European and Latin American social movements meeting in Madrid adopted a statement denouncing the US and European response to a devastating Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti as "the utilization of the humanitarian alibi with the sole goal of defending US geopolitical, economic and military interests, with the complicity of the European Union (EU)."  (中略)


    −−−since Préval took office in 2006 these opposition parties "have never missed a chance to take their piece of the cake while the people died of hunger and the country's sovereignty was mocked with the presence of the MINUSTAH"--the 9,000-member United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti that has occupied the country since 2004.
  • Haiti: Monsanto offers "poisoned present"?

    −−− An investigation by CBS News found that most of the hundreds of millions of dollars raised by five US charities (中略) had still not reached Haiti four months after the earthquake. CARE had spent about 25% of the $444 million it raised, while Catholic Relief Services had spent just 8%. The charities said they were keeping the money for long-term projects. CBS calculated that enough had been raised to give "a check for $37,000" to each family made homeless by the quake. (CBS News, May 12; Center for Economic Policy and Research blog, May 13) (以下略)


    鳴り物入りの 「援助」 の実態は、それが 「選ばれた」 外国企業を通じて本国に還流するだけのこと。この構図は相変わらず。
    • 世銀がハイチの債務返済を免除、地震からの復興支援で
      5月29日12時54分配信 CNN.co.jp


      今頃ようやく免除を決めたのか? 災害直後から言われていたのは、ハイチのケースでは、債務の支払い猶予 (モラトリアム) ではなく免除 (write-off) が絶対に必要と云うこと。災害直後早々に免除を決定したのはベネズエラと確かどこかもう1〜2国だったか。日本はどうするのだろう?


「援助」 の実態をよく説明しているのが、以下チョムスキー教授のインタビュー記事。マラライさんも同じ様なことを発信しておりますので後日もう少し詳しく考察予定ですが、とりあえず紹介しておきます;
