Send to friend Ousting Laloo won't cure Bihar After the slave revolt, Haitiâs sugar was boycotted by white nations to prevent copycat slave revolts in their possessions. To overcome the boycott, Haiti later agreed to compensate former French plantation owners at great expense. But even after slavery was abolished in the US and Europe, Haitiâs fortunes showed little improvement. The richest country in the world became the poorest. Neighbouring countries remained slave states for decades and colonies for over a century, yet became infinitely richer than Haiti. The lesson? No matter how bad slavery or colonialism is, self-rule can be as bad or worse. Krishna Menon argued in the 1950s that bad self-rule was preferable to good colonial rule. At the time this seemed an obvious truth to me. Not any more, after watching Haiti and Africa.

COMPLETE ARCHIVE OF ANSWER UPDATES Call initiated by the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition The U.S. war and occupation of Iraq is a disaster for the people there and here, a disaster that the Bush administration wants to escalate. In the first three weeks of April alone, more than 1,000 Iraqis, most of them civilians, and at least 110 U.S. soldiers have been killed. It is not only U.S. troops that are dying but those from Latin America and from other countries in Bush's "coalition of the willing." Thousands more have been wounded. The war is costing more than 300 million dollars ($300,000,000) every day, money that is transferred from working people in the U.S. to the pockets of arms manufacturers and corporate war profiteers. It is a war that is destroying an entire country and the lives of the Iraqi people already victimized for more than a decade by sanctions.

Extractions: By Pauline Mumia, Lutheran World Federation/ACT International German version of News Update Geneva, March 10,2004 The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) representative in Haiti, Michael Kuehn, has appealed for long-term assistance and support for the Caribbean nation after the recent political crisis that has resulted in humanitarian emergency situation. Long-term, participatory programs for development could make an important contribution to crisis prevention, said Kuehn, director of the LWF Department for World Service (DWS) country program in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. LWF is one of four members of Action by Churches Together (ACT) International - a global alliance of churches and related agencies working to save lives and support communities during emergencies - in Haiti. The formation of a government in Haiti, he said, and establishment of trust within society must be given priority following the departure of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, after weeks of violent rebellion against his rule. Insecurity, Kuehn noted, still constitutes a major problem, as many people worry about the violence, looting and widespread destruction.
