Where's the call to investigate the UN shooting of Sonia Romelus, killed by the same UN bullet that passed through the body of her 1-year old infant son, Nelson. Her 4 year-old son, Stanley Romelus, shot in the head as he lay sleeping next to his mother and brother. (See, Ezili Dantà ²'s Deliver this Letter to Lula, July 28, 2005; Evidence mounts of a UN massacre in Haiti ; What Haitian-Americans ask the new US president and Congress ; Proposed solutions to create a new paradigm)

I'm re-MEMBERing the Site Soley Massacre Declassification Project - where the US Ambassador to Haiti cabled Washington to say that I was spreading rumors on the Internet, but the declassified reports verified what we knew at the time was just a fraction of the abuses we said 330 UN soldiers had entered Site Soley shooting at the people while they slept, but in fact the declassified reports indicated MORE. There were 440 UN soldiers who entered Site Soley, 1,000 surrounded Site Soley a civilian population not at war and the UN fired 22,000 rounds of ammunition in the operations.

And, just as the Haitian police who are today involved in the Les Cayes prison killings are saying the killings was done by "gang" members, blaming it on the victims by criminalizing them to dehumanize them, well so has that been the UN explanation for July 6 and every other time unarmed civilians where found shot by UN or US bullets in Haiti since 2004.

Who, if not USAID's private military contractors, US Special Forces the Pentagon reps and UN "experts" trained and armed the new Haitian police force that are involved in the Les Cayes episode?

And where was the UN troops while the shootings where occurring? Why didn't they step in to stop the Haitian police? Who will investigate that? Uhmmm, the UN and USAID? Oh, the vipers' pit we dwell in? This Haitian reality is more tragic than any Shakespearean tragedy, it's Machiavellian and would be comical if it wasn't so heart wrenching horrifying, sad and ironic. For, pray tell, who trained the Guy Phillip/Louis Jodel Chamblain and Lame Timanchet death squads in Haiti that roam free under the UN/US occupation since 2004, even with the power to arrest and warehouse their political opponents under cover of UN/US firepower?????? Answer that question New York Times!

Nou la! Nou pap bay legen.
