Haiti's future must lie in its own hands‏

Ahead of tomorrow night’s concert for Haiti at Congress House in London, Natasha Hickman of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign compares the economic, social and political realities of Cuba and Haiti – separated by just 50 miles of Caribbean Sea.

“For many in Latin America, Cuba is a beacon to what human beings can achieve when they have opportunities for health care and education and a say in their future. Haiti, meanwhile, is a harrowing picture of the human suffering caused by years of economic policies moulded to benefit elites, multinationals and foreign economic interests and imposed on a people from the outside.”
