Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

U.S. Accuses Aristide Of Orchestrating Violence in Haiti

HeadlineJun 27, 2005

This news on Haiti: U.S. State Department official Roger Noriega has accused former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide of orchestrating violence in his home country. Aristide is living in exile in South Africa. He was ousted in a U.S.-backed coup nearly 18 months ago. Noriega said “We believe that his people are receiving instructions directly from his voice and indirectly through his acolytes that communicate with him personally in South Africa.” This marks the strongest statement to date by the Bush administration against Aristide since the February 2004 coup.
