Haitian President Martelly is a US Pawn with a Platform of Repression http://hcvanalysis.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/haitian-president-martelly-is-a-us-pawn-with-a-platform-of-repression/

Immediately after being declared the winner, Martelly got on a plane to Washington and met with the State Department, the World Bank, the IMF and all the heavy-hitters. He made a point of getting a photo-op with both Hillary and Bill Clinton. The latter is co-chair of the Interim Reconstruction Commission, which controls any aid Haiti gets.

Ever since 1990, when the Haitian people decisively defeated Marc Bazin, the candidate favored by U.S. imperialism, in an election that was really a mass movement, Washington has been scheming to regain total political control of Latin America and the Caribbean and secure its hold over Haiti’s strategic location and all its resources. As long as Martelly suits their needs, they will back him. When he doesn’t, they’ll dump him.
