Mise au point - Haiti Fonds PetroCaribe - Investissement Marriott

Mise au point - Haiti Fonds PetroCaribe - Investissement Marriott

Here is a copy of the letter from Turgeau Developments S.A, owner of the building operating under the label of the Marriott hotel, reacting to the "casual" statements of the former President Michel Martelly who declared that the Marriott hotel benefited from Petrocaribe funds.

The establishment of such an enterprise in Haiti is the result of joint financing from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), an affiliate of the World Bank Group and the The Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO), or Dutch Development Bank, in collaboration with Turgeau Holding LTD, a subsidiary of Digicel group, the letter said.

LTD, the note says, regrets deeply that the record of the use of Petrocaribe funds is downplayed at this level, while the Haitian people are in their fullest right to demand accountability.

The Martelly family is neither directly nor indirectly part of the shareholding of Turgeau Developments S.A., the note said.

WOW... Did the Associated Press really have to show meat sold next to the Trash in Haiti?

WOW... Did the Associated Press really have to show meat sold next to the Trash in Haiti?

Help me understand this... The Associated Press sent a photographer to marché Croix-des-Bossales in Haiti's capital to take a picture of a meat seller sitting next to a huge pile of trash just so they can publish an article about the price of chicken that has doubled up in Haiti the last four years.

Question: Did you see any chicken in this picture?

Now read the article here and tell me...

Did the picture help you understand the article better?

I wanted to read the article and tell you in my own words what it's all about but I was so disgusted by the choice of picture that the Associated Press decided to used. I didn't even bother to read it.

The Associated Press didn't do this to talk about chicken, they did it to prove to Donald Trump that he was right all along!

WOW... Thanks guys!
