Haiti Elections, Cholera Outbreak and UN Peacekeepers
Haiti held national elections amid a devastating cholera outbreak that has been linked to a UN peacekeeping base. Candidates Jude Célestin and musician "Sweet Mickey" Martelly emerged as frontrunners following the disqualification of Wyclef Jean. The hosts allege the election is being managed to facilitate the "Clintonization" of Haiti, involving the establishment of casinos and offshore banking interests while the local population suffers from lack of medical aid.
