African Stream sat down with Ezayi Jules, a Haitian from the organisation MOLEGHAF (National Movement for Liberty and Equality of Haitians for Fraternity) – to discuss the recent events surrounding the Caribbean island. In particular, we talked about the Kenyan government’s push (stalled in the High Court) to deploy police officers on a US-funded (and US-proposed) security mission to Port-au-Prince. Analysing the geopolitical dynamics behind that push, Ezayi connected Haiti’s present woes to the aftermath of its liberation from slavery – arguing that the nation is still being punished for taking freedom into its own hands. He urges Africans interested in contributing towards Haiti’s liberation to act today. We learned a lot. Let us know your reaction to what he has to say.
