The Coup Against President Aristide 15 Years Later

On this week's Global Research News Hour, we mark the 15th anniversary of the coup against Haiti's democratically elected president and the foreign occupation. We first hear from Ottawa-based Haitian-Canadian writer and activist Jean St. Vil about some of the geopolitical and historical context of the coup and the violence that followed. We next hear from Canadian foreign policy critic Yves Engler about Canada's particular role and ongoing interest in the subversion of Haitian democracy, including the involvement of Quebec-based SNC Lavelin currently making headlines in the nation's capital.
