Adolfo
Machado Dimanche, head of the community of over 30,000 members,
pointed out that these three states were the first ones to help the
population of Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital, severely damaged
by an earthquake on January 12, which caused more than 150,000
deaths.
Doctors and first-aiders worked immediately and without a moment’s
rest with all their love, in order to offer relief and health to the
wounded, he expressed.
He added that the members of the community of immigrants are willing
to go
to Haiti any time to cooperate in the task of rebuilding their
country of origin.
Machado Dimanche said that the community is concerned about the
arrival of a large number of US soldiers to that Caribbean island
with the pretext of normalizing the situation.
He recalled that in 1915 US troops landed in Haiti to supposedly
pacify the country, and occupied it for 19 years, leaving a trail of
death, ignorance, poverty, lack of organization and a debt it has
paid many times and still owes.
The world public opinion has to be on the alert with that military
presence in Haiti,
because we don’t know the intentions of the United States with their
troops there, he stressed.
In
addition, the community demanded US President Barak Obama to erase
Cuba from a supposed list of nations that are promoters of
terrorism, because it’s actually a humanitarian state in solidarity,
and its contribution gets everywhere in an unconditional and speedy
way.
