Ezili Danto's Note:
This week, on April 13, the UN Security Council voted to extend the UN-MINUSTAH military mission in Haiti for six months and thereafter to rename and replace it with MINUJUSTH.

MINUJUSTH shall be formed with seven formed militarized police units and 295 individual police trainers, presumably already on the ground.

This week the Associated Press followed up on the Aljazeera coverage and documentary about UN sexual predators, their rape, pedophilia and the babies abandoned by the MINUSTAH so-called "peacekeeping" troops in Haiti with a report about how these UN sexual assaults and abuses date back to when MINUSTAH got there in 2004, and emphasized a case where 134 Sri Lankan soldiers set up brothels in Haiti from 2004 to 2007 but no arrests were made.

Strangely, no media focused on the more documented failures of the UN and MINUSTAH mission in Haiti, such as: the cholera epidemic it brought; the squandering of over $10 billions in earthquake funds with no reconstruction done; the UN trained police shooting unarmed demonstrators with UN back-up; and the charges that the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS,) and MINUSTAH helped rig the 2010, 2015 and 2016 vote count while destroying, during transport, ballots from areas that were not voting for the UN status quo candidate.

After the UN Security Council Resolution 2350 to extend the MINUSTAH mission deemed MINUSTAH a "success", the mainstream media soundbites going around the next day was: 1) the UN is leaving Haiti and 2) 134 Sri Lankan soldiers sexually abused ONLY nine Haiti children from 2004 to 2007 and were not punished. U.S. says countries must punish United Nations troops for sexual abuse.

That's the Haiti soundbites. Both soundbites are wrong and directly and indirectly complicit in taking part in the complicated cover up of UN crimes in Haiti.

The UN reports, which the AP is quoting from, are compromised and not to be taken seriously at all. For, the UN has a history of covering up, decriminalizing and minimizing the crimes, human rights violations, the violence of its soldiers, police, and personnel as we've previously outlined last week.

AP, in fact, did say they couldn't locate any of the Sri Lankan soldier's Haiti victims or much reporting from 2004 to 2007 and relied on UN reports for their article about the victims of the Sri Lankan soldiers. So why didn't the AP come to us? Probably because the white Liberals and "saviors of Haiti" of Haiti, along with the white Neocons and "destroyers of Haiti" which the mainstream corporate media depends on to do the good/cop bad/cop one-evil Hegelian dialectic of the Western nations, steered them away. Or, AP simply wasn't looking for the truth beyond the UN-NGO cabal in Haiti.

Haitians could have pointed AP to the rapes committed against Tamil girls in 2009. Quoting, HLLN's reporting on the Sri Lanka brothels and rapes in Haiti, the Tamil Guardian wrote:

"Such accounts bear a harrowing resemblence to the subsequent reports of sexual abuse, prostitution rings and rape of children by Sri Lankan forces during the final stages of the conflict in 2009 and within government-run IDP camps.

See 'Orgy of massacre, rape, torture and mutilation in final days' - an eye-witness account of the rape amid impunity by a Sri Lankan soldier."

We could have told AP that in 2007, both the UN and the UN's investigative body, the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) told us what they told the Tamil Guardian, in 2011, that they were working with the Sri Lankan government, and all "those responsible would be 'held accountable for their actions."

With absolute certainty we Haitians know that the numbers of Haiti children hurt by UN soldiers (2000 overall allegations reported by AP) are as vastly understated as the number of dead UN cholera victims are vastly understated. The media headlines that the UN is leaving and there will be no tolerance for UN sexual predators, the soundbites don't tell you nothing has changed for Haitians. Nothing. Our UN nightmare continues.

See, it seems in those soundbites as if there's progress in exposure of crimes committed by the UN peacekeepers and that the UN is leaving Haiti. But the UN is not leaving Haiti. It's just reorganizing to rise up with a new name without the previous MINUSTAH liabilities while papering over its moral bankruptcy. The UN talks on. Moves lots of air around, mouthing zero tolerance spiels; pushing various "reports" and planted propaganda in the media to show its "efforts" and "recordings," which inevitably bring no concrete justice, no restitution monies, no mental health trauma counseling and no relief to the Haiti victims of its sexual predators.

The AP exclusive disclosure ignores the UN-MINUSTAH sex brothels in Haiti in 2017, right now but goes back ten years ago to 2007.

The timing and what's amplified in the reporting are suspicious and manipulative.

AP focus on a narrow if devastating assault on children that people can't really stay stomach on for long without psychological hurt. But, it wasn't only children who were hurt in the Sri Lankan brothels. Some Haiti women were trafficked out of Haiti. Or, as the UN wants to term it "went" or "followed" the Sri Lanka soldiers were put in brothels and "polygamous households" in Sri Lanka also. Frankly, we've never been able to get the truth out of the United Nations. But we know, from the Ezili Danto Witness Project on the ground in those years, that Haiti women, children and men were drugged and some kidnapped from military trucks/tanks, and forced to stay and service the foreign crews, there supposedly to bring the "rule of law" and "stability" to Haiti after the US took down Haiti's first democratically elected president for a second time.

We spent ten years publicly asking the UN for the report on the 2007 Sri Lankan investigation and again via mail and in a public letter on April 3, 2017 after the Aljazeera interview.

But on April 12, 2017, the Associated Press just reported on some aspects of it, out of the blue, and at a point when there was a Security Council vote coming up on whether to extend MINUSTAH for another six months or not and/or to eliminate it altogether. The AP report that 134 Sri Lankan soldiers were involved and got deported for sexually abusing 9 children and there was no arrest. That statement conflicts with a report we had where:

"Brigadiear Nihal Hapuarachchi, spokesperson for the Sri Lankan Army is reported to have stated: "A full inquiry was carried out and those soldiers who were found guilty were prosecuted" -- See, Haitian lawyers condemn impunity for Sri Lankan soldiers

So what is the reason for this AP report which emphasized the 2007 sex rings, but didn't talk to the Haitians involved in the matter, but relied on UN reports?

Is there something that MINUSTAH did that is worst than the 2004-2007 sex rings in Haiti, something that's going on today, in April 2017, right now?

Yes. Are the white Liberals, the Neocons, the feminists, the anti-war folks so appalled about the "Saren gas" victims in Syria and their Black assimilated UN/NGO/US deep state employees appropriating Haiti suffering to buff up their resumes, get more funding for their living expenses, write books, create documentaries, maintain themselves in a poverty-pimping job while whitewashing the scope of the UN crimes in Haiti. Indeed, they are. That's why we Haitians have put together this petition. We know we're alone. Have always been.

The fact is, the UN brought a cholera epidemic to Haiti that killed over 30,000 Haitians, made over one million sick, continues to kill Haitians and this was covered up by the UN, the Clintons, the CDC and the Obama Administration. The victims never got any justice.

The UN presided over the killing of from 14,000 to 20,000, mostly unarmed Haitians from 2004 to 2006, who protested the bi-centennial regime change of George W Bush, Jr that brought in the UN-MINUSTAH mission through the handy propaganda work of Colin Powell, Condi Rice and Kofi Annan.

The UN sex trafficking, prostitution, drug and organ trafficking rings continue to this day and are not a thing of the past in 2007. Moreover, contrary to the current mainstream media soundbites, it's not just 9 children who were abused by 134 Sri Lankan soldier somewhere around the vicinity of the Habitation Lecler ruins in Haiti.

"Following the initial investigation by the UN's OIOS, the systematic and exploitative nature of the abuse was specifically highlighted."

"acts of sexual exploitation and abuse (against children) were frequent and occurred usually at night, and at virtually every location where the contingent personnel were deployed,"

"In exchange for sex, the children received small amounts of money, food, and sometimes mobile phones," -- See, Haitian lawyers condemn impunity for Sri Lankan soldiers

HLLN wrote back then, in 2007, that:
"Sri Lankan soldiers were accused of systematically raping Haitian women and girls, some as young as 7 years old."

The UN-MINUTAH set up BROTHELS and sex-slavery rings in Haiti. That's how come one boy could say he had sex with 50 to 100 peacekeepers. He serviced them round the clock. The AP doesn't mention the UN brothels, hotels and bars in Haiti and thus, its reporting is not representative of the scope, nature, and geography of the sexual slavery abuse in Haiti by United Nation personnel nor the MINUSTAH so-called "peacekeepers."

Also, the foul UN Security Council Resolution calling the MINUSTAH mission "professional and a success" was drafted by the very so-called CORE GROUP of "Friends of Haiti" headed by MINUSTAH spokesperson Sandra Honore who helped rigged the 2010, 2015 and 2016 Haiti parliamentary and presidential elections with UNOPS.

These organized, powerful and well-connected global criminals treat us Haitians like we're not human; have no brains, feel no pain, and must tolerate their absolute untruths. We won't.

Here, in this petition, Haitians tell their own story about the nightmare the UN brought to Haiti with MINUSTAH, a group Haitians refer to as TOURISTAH and Volè Kabrit or rapists, kidnappers and thieves. Justice for Haitians hasn't come in decades. We know that. But we're making a record for the record. (By Force: United Nations Pedophilia, Rape, Forced Pregnancy, Prostitution and Ethnic Cleansing of National Groups.)

The people who sign this Haiti petition are saying to the United Nation, that the Haitian victims of the UN-MINUSTAH rape are flesh and blood, are human, not disposable, not expendable. At another point maybe we'll focus on a Haiti petition detailing the catastrophic UN-imposed cholera, the transnational appropriation of Haiti lands, earthquake funds and the fake elections supervised by UN-MINUSTAH. But today, in the preamble of this petition, we address the colonial narrative in the UN resolution that deems MINUSTAH a "success" for bringing Haiti "stability" and the "rule of law."

In the demand section of the Haiti Petition, we address and demand some zero tolerance measures that are necessary to help the MINUSTAH-MINUJUSTH victims of rape, sexual exploitation and abuse.

If you'd like to stand for justice for Haiti and the UN sexual abuse and exploitation victims:

Sign our petition to recognize the humanity of the UN-MINUSTAH survivors and help give every victim the voice, the relief, the dignity they can't fight for by themselves but deserve.
