High prices and less land keep Haiti hungry - 26 April 08

[GmanZouk]

Although the USAID planted 60 million trees in the last 20 years which is wonderful, they should have also distributed propane stoves to the poor. And, make propane available to the poor at an affordable price. Furthermore, the Haitian government should guard the trees from getting cut down. That is the solution.

[JogBird]

the issue isnt rising cost of food... its TOO MANY MOUTHS to feed. they need to lose 3/4 of the population asap

[judoflipper98]

@JogBird No they should not lost 3/4 of their population Bill Gates you eugenics fuck. These people first of all need not to depend on the government to save them and be self dependant. Give me a fucking break, this is cointelpro all over this page. Secondly, the world is not over populated due to the fact that one people are dying daily as children are being born (nature fixes the "over population problem) and third there is no way you can ever get an exact number of how many people there are.

[m00se321]

After the Earth Quake!!Prisoners have Escaped from The Jails, and Many of Thousand of Haitans are movin to the Dominican Republic!!

[ehk65]

good luck its helpless in countries like these

[weebals]

THis is So Sad, and deperessing that's why I'm majoring in internatioln development so that I improve the conditions of these under-developed countries, and give the poor more and better resources to rise above the poverty line.

[TVParkdale]

Gods-beneath-us, what a miserable choice:(

Keep the wood for a possible future.

Or have shelter and eat.

[CircusMaximus09]

@nothingbutdabest22 They are tooo stupid

[jimmyintheswamp]

Many of the preceding comments prove that we're still super-racist towards Haiti after 204 years...damn. Using words like "nigger" might make people feel superior to the men and women in Haiti, but as always, using racial slurs doesn't change history - quite the opposite. For those interested in understanding the "situation" in Haiti and how we're ALL responsible, check out "Damming the Flood" by Peter Hallward. Or stay ignorant and continue to make fools of yourselves all over the internet.

[TimeChronical]

What happened to the fauna in Haiti then if the flora was lost? What happened to rivers? No matter how many trees you plant, those treasures are already lost forver.

[2300SKIDOO]

Hey, JiveTurkey, the white man's great and skill at cultural destruction, colonization, using up the natural resources of other poorer nations, and most importantly greed, is always the culprit. Haiti needs quite simply to be re-forrested. The white man is using up everything the world as to offer and leaving a great deal of destruction in it's wake. Juts remember that you are outnumbered and these people will become refugees due to your medaling...lol. Serious... stop screwing ethnic people.

[JiveTurkeyXXX]

Let them die as nature intended. Arrogant white man is disrupting the balance of nature in his misguided attempts at rescuing them. That only prolongs the Haitians' agony, and gives them just enough energy to fuck and breed more angry helpless starving blacks for whitey to support. The situation isn't improving. It's worsening. Tampering with nature is always a bad idea. Mind your own business and stay out of it - you meddlesome white liberals.

[reesezgirl]

you really need to educate yrself!!!

[vegbeauti]

What bs. Their own use of firewood has obviously been what they have always done. The real deforestation problem stems back to France's massive confication of their trees in the 1700s. Read Aristide's Eyes of the Heart.

[Aiursrage2k]

Maybe they can eat there poorest people

[meatclown09]

Niggers failing to provide for themselves? Who would have guessed?

[lastnymleft]

As opposed to what...racking everything onto credit cards, like in America?

[4evermeX]

The Stupid White Men is responsible for this hunger crisis in Haiti!

Haiti is a macro experiment for the Whites devils to make the blacks suffer. Analize this points. It is STRANGE and EVIL why the US goverment with the complicity of the UN removed forcefully Jean B Aristide from power and left some puppet to govern the island and the inhabitants its also news that with the UN presence their not welcome an are not necessary feeding the people of haiti. What kind of a hyprocacy is that?

[hebron1972]

Get real and wake the f*&k up. You little whiny scrubs were crying about democracy and protesting for us to go into Haiti back in '94. I was a part of Restore and Uphold Democracy, I dropped into that shitty little place. I walked the streets of Port-au-Prince. Haitians have only themselves to blame. You talk as if there are US soldiers knocking the bread out of the hands of the poor. You, sir or madame, are retarded.

Also, it is spelled hypocrisy.

[stupdworld]

who cares about niggers? i sure as fuck dont.

[breaks0]

Wow what a bunch of little nazis alot of you are. HAve you pulled out your brown shirts yet? You do realize this dumb report said nothing about how many Haitian governments the US has ousted in the last century, right? In the last 20 years alone they've backed right wing thugs who've ousted Aristide twice (once the US kidnapped him itself) and then they tried to keep current President Preval from winning too, but the Haitian people wouldn't take it anymore. That's putting aside the Duvaliers.

[breaks0]

That accounts alot more for Haiti's problems today than any "deforestation" the poor are causing there. Alot of you would do yourselves a favor by going to read a little about that history if you wanna have any sense of the country's current problems. The only thing worse than blaming the poor for problems were mainly imposed on them by the rich, is to lay that blame using a racist and imperialist argument as alot of you are doing.

[hahajohnnyb]

Food relief should be dependent on sterilization.

[suzannacharisma]

I have read that they are eating mud ( mud pie) but nobody give a damn

[meatclown09]

i sure don't.

[veeseee128]

@hallowseve1973 satan. you and your race will be judged for the crimes you have commited towards the blacks, asians native americans and other non whites. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[chachalaca777]

they could digest their excrement in digestors to get methane and cook with that... but their ecosystem needs to be replenished now!

[Txivhlubniam]

wow...........man wonder why these people can't have food to fed themselves? Idia is a big country how come NO food?

[Flirmy]

too many people.

[divinejudge1]

This is the early stages of the World Bank, IMF, and UN to use food to control people and population.

Watch how food will be given only to people who undergo sterilization programs for food. A practice in eugenics to wipe out the poor.

[shartaz]

agreed, theres to many options to help cure this problem but none of them are being put into action, thats because the ones in power want it this way period.

[Chromegrillz]

Biofuels is the main cost of high price foods.

[ehunter2]

Exactly..why should we try to "oppress" the Haitians...lets let them enjoy their independance to the max....bwaaahahahaaa.

[hajqbvii]

Next time I bitch over price of gas, I'll keep in mind that it could be me in Haiti looking for food!!!

[DonSimonBolivar]

That was kind of a bigot remark that Haitians before these Haitians where destroying the environment. Any way bring back the president the United States forced out of office. The president the people loved. Not the fascist dictators who are all still under the yoke of France. While these people exploit the land to get much richer those at the bottom are stuck with no options. They need to be removed and

Jean-Bertrand Aristide needs to come back. What does the US and France have anything to do?

[DonSimonBolivar]

With does people? Why is the U.S. always telling other nations what leader they should have? If the leader doesn't fall well with the U.S. or other European nations they get together like bullies.

[zanawench]

nice to hear someone who actually KNOWS what they're talking about...the problem is not the father of six who cuts down trees because he has no other options, the problem is the politicians who embezzle all the foreign aid and stoke this perpetual inferno with their greed. I am ashamed to see a lot of racist comments here.

[mercedescl]

So what's your solution? If farmers or importers get rob in this nation, they will simply sell their goods else where or charge a risk premium on Haiti import. You can blame india, china, IMF, the US, or biofuel all you want, but the situation can't be helped. The demand driven price hike can't be stopped in fuel or food. Take it or leave it.

[moviedude111]

cannibalism is next.

[gzyyy6]

[Daritto7117]

i have no doubt that humans will scorn this planet to perpetual death. however our death will bring this planet back from the brink of destruction :(

[BooBooLane]

Daritto7117 has the Boo-Boo vote for World Boss. Animals, Water and Trees = good, great!

We humanoids = horrible.

And everyone else here has a lot of insight except nauiocelotl.

[Daritto7117]

God gave this planet to us and i have no doubt he will take it away in the form of us killing ourselves off by the pollution we add to this planet!!!

Im being real you being a fucking moron!!

WAKE UP AND LOOK THROUGH THE FOG YA IDIOT!!

[BooBooLane]

There's no pleasing some pee-pull.

[shartaz]

or christ will come first, either or

[TILLKER]

Are these people humans !! It seems that they act like animals .. Think people !!!

[nauiocelotl]

You idiot you think how is the poor supposed to cook their food ? The USA has plenty to do with poverty in Hati .

[TILLKER]

Ok , blame it all on the US . Blame the illnesses, the scratch on your ass and everything on the U.S . By the way , how does haiti compare to the US . Im suggesting that the government or the people find a solution instead of eating and pooing all the time like animals.

[nauiocelotl]

The US puts those goverment puppets in power that oppress the people and leave them to live in severe poverty .

[ChristianCommando]

"The USA has plenty to do with poverty in Hati"

Explain yourself.

[Tubbbers]

Had you ever been hungry you could comprehend.

[nassor02]

them today, maybe us tommorow. don't take what you have for granted.

[uchoob00]

seems like nobody gives a damn over there

[cardieunion]

Sounds like alot of people are going to starve.
