The U.S.-backed regime in Haiti plans to reactivate the national army, which was disbanded for terrorizing the population. The 15,000-strong national police force recently massacred a number of teachers and students, said Brooklyn-based radio host and Haitian community activist Dahoud Andre. “This police force was created by the United States and trained by Canada and the United States,” he said. “This is the means by which they are trying to determine the future of our country.”
