Today on Sojourner Truth:
Haiti is yet again in revolt with tens of thousands of protesters across hitting the streets on Sunday, June 9,, followed by general strikes on Monday, June 10, and Tuesday, June 11. Several protesters were killed and many others injured. Protesters are continuing their demand that the U.S.-backed President of Haiti, Jovenel Moise, step down. His government, along with the two previous administrations, have been implicated in an official report about the disappearance of over $4 billion dollars from Venezuela that was meant to assist the Haitian people. A journalist covering the corruption scandal was killed in a targeted assassination. Additionally, a series of brutal massacres and targeted assassinations have affected communities opposed to Moise, as well as community leaders. The massacres have been the largest since the days of the brutal Duvalierist dictatorship. The U.S. has warned against traveling to Haiti. We speak with journalist and Haiti expert Kevin Pina.
