YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A few days after the Dominican Republic shut down its border with Haiti over a border dispute, Joe Biden called on the UN to militarily intervene in Haiti amid an uptick in violence. The call for intervention has been met with widespread criticism given the long history of human rights abuses by UN peacekeepers in Haiti and other countries. Edwidge Danticat, renowned Haitian-American novelist, discusses how the struggle over the canal at the center of the border dispute fits into the larger fight for Haitian sovereignty.
