In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Tunde Osazua, the Coordinator of the U.S. Out of Africa Network, a project of the Black Alliance for Peace to discuss rescue and relief efforts in Haiti after its 7.2 magnitude earthquake, the role that economic exploitation and imperialism by the U.S. and other western nations has played in Haiti’s inability to develop its infrastructure and defend itself from natural disaster, and how so-called humanitarian NGOs and aid have historically contributed to the exploitation of Haiti.
