An interview with Haitian activist Patrick Elie in Port au Prince.
Recorded in Port au Prince, Haiti, by Aaron Lakoff and Leslie Bagg of CKUT radio, and Kevin Pina of KPFAs Flashpoints.

Patrick Elie is a long-time political and human rights activist in Haiti. He served as the Secretary of State for National Defence under Jean-Bertrand Aristide's first term in office, and was the national coordinator against drug trafficking from 1991-94.
In the context of a coup d'etat, massive violence, and a UN occupation, Elie is a necessary and unheard voice in the Haitian political landscape.
Here, he debunks the myths promoted by Haiti's elite about kidnappings and insecurity in the country, speaks about the difference between armed resistance and terrorism, and breaks down Canada's role in creating the human rights disaster which exists in Haiti today.
