Discussion on Cuba's aid and solidarity to Haiti

Dundee Rock around the Blockade has called this political meeting to look at Haiti's dire situation and to challenge the United States colonial treatment of the people. We uphold socialist Cuba’s record of real aid and solidarity to Haiti.

Wednesday 17 March, 7-9pm

Room G7, Dundee Uni Tower.

HAITI

The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere

Devastated by natural disaster

250,000 Dead

A million homeless

Occupied by 15, 000 United States marines

CUBA

“WE SEND DOCTORS, NOT SOLDIERS!”-  FIDEL CASTRO

Don't expect an honest account of the aid situation from the hired pens of the millionaire media. These comfortable stooges have already moved on to the next cosy international hotel. Having briefly touched upon the suffering of the Haitian people they have nothing to say about the militarisation of aid by the United States.

“WE NEED TENTS. NOT GUNS!”

A sign held up at a Haitian women's protest about the lack of aid as stocks pile up at US controlled airports. While millions have given and expressed their solidarity and humanity, US imperialism has a choke hold on supplies.
