Interview w/ Immortal Technique about Haiti-6 Months Later He Calls It a Police State

July 18, 2010 By

Haiti marks six months since a massive earthquake shook the already poor nation. Billions of dollars have been donated to help the country rebuild but half a year later, the impoverished island nation still is dire straits. RT spoke to rapper and activist Immortal Technique, who recently spent time in Haiti. He argued that there is no long term vision in Haiti, referring to the nation as a military and police state run by the United States and the UN.

We are posting the interview, but we also encourage folks to read Immortal’s incredible insightful essay
