“”I hope we can help Haiti to rebuild itself in a way that leads to more prosperity for Haitians “”
Did anyone hear the interview Greta did last night with Bill Clinton? He said he and Hillary had been going to Haiti since 1975 (delayed honeymoon or some such tripe) and with all the work his foundation has been doing there along with the UN and others, the objective of making progress there had been nearly completed????? Now they will have to start all over!!
I don’t have his exact words but it was incredible to believe that he thought he could fool everyone with that statement. Nothing new there (fooling people) but anyone with a brain knows things haven’t improved there one iota! People still living on $2.00 a day, 50% unemployment, corruption still in place. That was part of Greta’s report - not Clinton’s words.
I didn’t know he was the UN Envoy to Haiti. He talked about getting the UN workers (deceased) out of the UN building that crumbled and getting them back to their families. Also people could make donations to help through his website or texting.
I saw part of that interview. I don’t know anything about what Clinton did there, or what efforts have been made in general over the past several years, but it seems that too often places like Haiti become political battlegrounds and the only people who really suffer are those who live there.
The UN workers in Haiti are not appreciated by the Haitian people.
The workers are known for strong arm tactics to elicit bribes.
My son saw this first hand when he was there. UN workers stopped a car he was riding in and try to get the passengers to fork over some cash.
