Topic: Petrocaribe

The 2010 Haiti earthquake led to a massive international intervention managed largely by Bill and Hillary Clinton. Following the disaster, the U.S. military and various for-profit contractors took over reconstruction efforts, which critics claim resulted in very few actual homes being built. The current unrest in Haiti is linked to the plundering of the PetroCaribe fund, a Venezuelan oil subsidy program intended for Haitian development.

Haiti is experiencing widespread street violence and protests demanding the ouster of President Jovenel Moïse over soaring inflation and government corruption. Protesters are specifically targeting the PetroCaribe program, a discounted oil deal with Venezuela, alleging that billions in savings intended for social programs were embezzled. The situation draws comparisons to the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake and the controversial role of the Clinton Foundation in reconstruction efforts.
