The Battle in Haiti for a Town Called Ganthier:  Complicity of NGOs in a Land Grab http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_60500.shtml

The Mayor of Gonaives, a man considered a devoted public servant, even called wise by some, died suddenly on June 22nd during a Port-au-Prince visit and within a week of the appearance of U.S. Southern Command (SouthCom) in his city. On the announcement of his death, UN forces immediately barricaded the Gonaives city hall and took possession of the city records.

A former parlementarian, who, years ago, characterized the conditions in Haiti's prisons as being "execrable and scandalous" and, more recently, often lent his voice to the vocal parliamentary minority that opposed Preval's initiatives, including the Clinton dictatorship called CIRH (Commission International pour la Reconstruction d'Haiti), was kidnapped on June 27th and is still missing.

Now that 500 SouthCom, 8,940 UN military, 4,391 UN police, and untold numbers of mercenaries are in place to buttress the occupation, the gloves have come off. The "soft arm" of the occupation is supplied by the NGOs: modern-day missionaries, a league of settlers who spend their days pontificating to Haitians and their nights fraternizing with mercenaries.
