Politics of Containment
*Selma James*, writer and solidarity activist, Global Women's Strike
*Nick Dearden*, director of Jubilee Debt Campaign

Haiti was the first independent nation in Latin America, freed as a result
of an inspiring revolution. Yet it has been subject to domination ever
since, from US occupations, to the crippling 135-year debt imposed by former
colonial master France, to Western-backed dictatorships and IMF-imposed free
market economic 'reforms'.  The last US coup was in 2004 against much loved
democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide who lives in forced
exile and has been prevented from returning.

Now, as US troops patrol the country, free market economists are seeing new
opportunities to privatise and 'restructure' Haiti's economy, while its
external debts have still not been cancelled by rich donors. The 'shock
doctrine' looks to be striking again. Join the discussion about what
solidarity we can offer to those in Haiti seeking an alternative future.

Organised by the Radical Activist Network <http://www.radicalactivist.net/>
