The U.S. preventing progress in Haiti
Today I learned that the United States is a big contributer as to why Haiti is still in desperate need of help. Haiti is unable to rebuild it self because they lack the necessities to do it. The money from the Inter-American Development Bank was supposed to be intended for important needs such as health care, water improvement, education, and roads, but the Haitians are denied that money because the U.S. is preventing the I.D.B. from loaning them money. The U.S. is preventing Haiti from recieving this money because they accused the Haitians of a voting irregularity in their elections when Jean-Bertrand Aristide had won more than 90% of the popular vote. Because of the accusation of a fixed election, the U.S. denies money to be sent to Haiti, therefore preventing Haiti from progressing.
