International Day of Solidarity with Haiti
FONDASYON TRANT SEPTANM
September Thirtieth Foundation
Commemoration September 30, 2005

Let us all come together to denounce and condemn the dictatorship and
the U.S./U.N. repression against the poor in Haiti.

On September 30, 1991 a democratic experiment which had already begun to bear fruit, was drowned in blood by the traditional enemies of the Haitian people. More than 5,000 dead in 3 years. Then on February 29, 2004, they re-enacted this horror. The results are catastrophic: more than 13,000 dead in 18 months - an average of 720 killed every month, 24 every day, out of a population of 8,000,000 inhabitants.

After acts of kidnapping, the Haitian police, heavily militarized and reinforced by UN occupation forces, financed and equipped by the US, French and Canadian governments through their embassies in Haiti, are distributing machetes to death squads to continue the carnage among the poor civilian population. Those who demand the return of democracy, those who demand the return of the President voted into office by the people, are condemned to die, cut into pieces and their bodies left to be eaten by dogs - to serve as an example, as was the case with Charlemagne Peralte, assassinated by United States Marines (during the first US occupation of Haiti 1915-34), his body exposed on a door in a public square.

Ethnic cleansing in Rwanda … war against the poor or social cleansing in Haiti. To put a stop to this "Black Holocaust" the September 30th Foundation is calling out to all the citizens of the world who love freedom and justice, to do the following:

Make September 30, 2005 an international day of solidarity with the Haitian people.
Organize activities in the major cities of the world on Friday, September 30, 2005, denouncing the dictatorship and the repression in Haiti.
Denounce and condemn the dictatorship and the US/UN repression in Haiti.
Put in place an International Coalition to work for the return of democracy in Haiti, and for the return of the President elected by the people.
Establish a fund, administered by the September 30th Foundation, to support the victims of the repression in Haiti.
Sponsors: Fanmi Lavalas, Haitian Initiative for Democracy, Haiti Action Committee, Fondasyon Mapou, Haitian Lawyers Leadership, Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti....Other sponsors to be added.
