the civil war completely closed the chapter on its formative stage

That is a very important point.

[quote author=aloy-emeka link=topic=632855.msg8046511#msg8046511 date=1301890532]Oh please, they are not asking because they don't give. They do not have the face to ask for help. Japan is one of the most self centered nations on earth. Germany is another self centered country on earth but when people claim that US only help when their national interest is in tact, I just laugh because US is one of the most benevolent nations on earth. England is another good hearted nation and the best there is in Europe.[/quote]You really need to look at things in depth. If you did you would notice that It is the american people who are kind hearted and charitable not their Government. Have you ever heard of 'tied aid'? The money the united states spends on its military per year could feed the worlds hungry children for a month. it could also eradicate AIDS.

To all those people thanking france and shi7. France didnt do AYTHING they just waited until the ivorian troops did all the hard fighting then swooped in at the end for glory and a "good human rights record." this angers me so much.

The same thing happend with nigerian troops in the first ivory coast civil war. ECOWAS did all the hard fighting then the british come in at the end and take responsibility.

im sure nigeria is Number 11.

wait. woah, Gbagbo is anti imperialist?

quote from katy86

I have learned in school that race is not existing, so I can not tell you my race

they teach that race doesnt exist in germany? interesting!

Well, Ghandi was a racist, MLK was a nympho. surprised?

The world isnt what it seems to be. and what you think is true is a lie.

Subscibed! this will be an interesting blog.

buhari's desire to have nothing to do with the IMF slavery debt scam which america is using to recolonise african nations through the back door.

Impressive, didnt know about that about Buhari. Im starting to suspect GEJ is just more of the same.

What does the "maritime security" of west africa matter? is nigeria under any threat from the sea at all?

cdoffx:
Do you guys think we people could not just form a congress here,become a strong mouthpiece for the African people. It starts somewhere

Your absolutely right man we cant just let these things happen. but if the A.U is powerless its really an uphill battle

Arabs just cant resist trying to enslave black people. They still enslave people in Mauritania.

^^dont forget lamumba. Unfortunatly dispite mugabe's stance against neo-colonialism he is an ediot, and hasnt done much good for his country.

The truth is Japan really doesnt need foreign aid that much. And they are not asking for it.

The great tragedy of the 7.0 earthquake that essentially destroyed the nation of Haiti has many wondering if that nation can ever recover. In fact, as you read this Haiti continues to be a disaster zone of unprecedented magnitude. Lots of money has been raised by celebrities, but victims of the earthquake in Haiti are still absolutely desperate for food and water.

But even as Haiti struggles to recover from the greatest disaster in that nation's history, information is coming to light that the key to a brighter future for the Haitians may have been lying under their feet all this time. It turns out that there are massive reserves of gold and oil in Haiti. These abundant natural resources could be used to rebuild Haiti and give those people an incredibly bright future - if someone else does not sweep in and steal those resources first.

I'll have to admit when I first heard about oil in Haiti I was quite skeptical.

After all, why wouldn't we have heard about it by now if they had it?

Well, the reality is that there are vast untapped oil reserves in many areas of the globe, and Haiti's have not been developed due to the violence and political instability that have ravaged that nation for decades. Not to mention the fact that Haiti does not possess the technical expertise to exploit those resources.

But apparently they do exist.

According to a report in the French newspaper Le Post, scientists Daniel and Ginette Mathurin say that Haiti's oil reserves are larger than those of Venezuela.

In fact, Daniel Mathurin says that Haiti's oil reserves are so much larger that they are not even worth comparing,

"An Olympic pool compared to a glass of water that is the comparison to show the importance of oil Haitian compared to those of Venezuela."

That is an amazing statement considering the fact that Venezuela is one of the world's major oil producers.

But Daniel and Ginette Mathurin are not the only ones making these claims about oil in Haiti.

In a paper dated March 27, 2004, Dr. Georges Michel detailed the history of oil discoveries in Haiti and explained why they have not been exploited yet.

According to Michel, the big oil companies know about the massive reserves of oil in Haiti but in the 50s and 60s there was almost too much oil to go around so they decided that those reserves were not needed at the time and that they would be kept in reserve until later,


[The attitude of these big multinational oil companies was] "We shall keep the Haitian deposits and other such layers of deposits in reserve for the 21st century when the Middle Eastern jackpot are depleted."

In fact, it was apparently known as far back as 1908 that Haiti has substantial reserves of oil.

But those poor people have been kept in abject poverty all this time when they could have been benefiting from all of this oil.

Not only that, but Haiti also apparently possesses a great deal of gold as well.

A United Nations study in the 70s indicated Haiti could be littered with gold and copper deposits. However, the same political violence and recurring coups that have kept the oil in Haiti from being exploited have also kept the gold from being mined.

So how much gold does Haiti have? Well, the former president of Dominican Petroleum Refinery recently said that Haiti has vast untapped reserves of gold and iridium (a little known and rare mineral that is vital for the construction of spacecraft) and that these resources should be used to pay off the Haitian foreign debt.

And he is not alone in his assessment.

Back in 2007 a geologist with 27 years of experience hunting for gold was asked what he thought the chances of discovering huge amounts of gold in Haiti were. This is how he responded,

"I don't think there's a question of whether there's a good deposit here. It's a question of whether we can develop it here in Haiti."

In fact, analysts are predicting "a stampede into Haiti" if the existence of large gold deposits there can be confirmed.

So one of poorest nations in the world turns out to be just brimming with oil and gold,

Do you think that those resources will be used to rebuild Haiti and to give those people a truly bright future?

Don't count on it.

In fact, now that Haiti has essentially been destroyed, troops are pouring in and politicians are already talking about starting business ventures in the country. To many in Washington, Haiti's natural resources are considered "strategic reserves" of the United States.

You see, for decades Haiti has been viewed by many as being essentially "owned" by the United States. The U.S. government has done little to actually help the nation of Haiti get on the right path, but they maintain a huge presence there. In fact, the U.S. constructed its fifth largest embassy in the world in the nation of Haiti.

But perhaps that is just a coincidence.

The key will be to watch what happens to Haiti's natural resources as the rebuilding of that nation proceeds.

Will all of the gold and oil be used to help the people of Haiti, or will the gold and oil be exploited by ruthless foreigners?

The world will be watching.

Also 20 thousand U.S troops are based in the country.
