Jacquie Luqman is joined by Taminisha John, a PhD candidate at Florida International University studying multinational corporations in the Caribbean to discuss how the ongoing protests in Haiti against Jovenel Moïse's regime are connected to the US and OAS interference in the 2016 election there; the past horrors of the Duvalier regime that Haitians struggled against in the 80s; and the way Haitians are using English as a protest tool to connect with US citizens and establish the international solidarity needed to defeat US imperialism.
