In this episode we interview Emilio Alexis.  We trace his life from a small village in the South of Haiti to University in Port-au-Prince to work at the Lespwa Timoun clinic and finally the decision to flee the country in the midst of unimaginable violence.

In this last episode of our series on military interventions in Haiti, we look at how the US military acts around the globe--from Somalia, to Niger, to Jordan and the Philippines.  And then we will examine if this model will fit Haiti.

In this episode we look at times in history when the world stepped in to prevent tragedies.  In particular, we will look briefly at the British in Sierra Leone and NATO in Bosnia and try to extract lessons that can be used in Haiti today.

In this episode, we discuss the 15 year US/UN occupation of Haiti from 2004-2019.

In this episode, we discuss the US invasion of Haiti in 1994.  We will talk about the basic story, what went well and what we can learn.

In this second episode, we talk about the US invasion of Haiti in 1915.  US troops would stay and manage the country for 20 years, changing the country forever.

In this series, we will look at past US and UN military interventions in Haiti.  We will try to see how this history can inform our decisions about what to do in Haiti today.  

In lieu of an audio podcast, we have done a video podcast this week.  We feel that following a map will make this discussion easier.  Please click on the below to view it!
