A symbol of resistance

Charlemagne Péralte

Charlemagne Péralte was a Haitian resistance leader shot by U.S. forces during the 1915 occupation.

After Péralte's death, U.S. troops displayed his body posed in a way that resembled a crucifixion – tied upright with a Haitian flag draped over him. This photo was intended to intimidate the Haitian population.

However, it backfired. The image resonated with Haitians, making Péralte a martyr and a symbol of resistance. There's even a famous Haitian painting called "The Crucifixion of Charlemagne Péralte for Freedom."

AFRICA CONTROLLING RESOURCES WOULD BE TROUBLE FOR WEST

Journalist Clayton Morris blasted the United States during an interview with US-based media outlet Redacted about which African countries the US government may seek to destabilise next.

In this excerpt, he explains how Norway's discovering oil in the mid-20th century helped transform it into one of the world’s most prosperous countries. However, Morris said the United States would not want resource-rich African countries to undergo such a transformation.
