A Ha\u00efti, chaos et leadership<\/em> US<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

\tDans la presse britannique, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s prompte \u00e0 envoyer des journalistes pour la couverture des \u00e9v\u00e9nements \u00e0 Ha\u00efti, le Times<\/em> de Londres est le plus critique de la situation, de l’absence de contr\u00f4le et de direction. Indirectement mais d’une fa\u00e7on explicite, le quotidien londonien est critique de l’action US dans ce pays d\u00e9vast\u00e9, \u00e0 cause du r\u00f4le pro\u00e9minent pris par la Grande R\u00e9publique dans l’op\u00e9ration. Parmi ces critiques, notamment celles qui s’exercent contre les mesures de blocage s\u00e9lectif des arriv\u00e9es sur l’a\u00e9roport et sur la s\u00e9lection des vols autoris\u00e9s, et des d\u00e9cisions de complet blocage lorsqu’un officiel US (Hillary Clinton samedi) est sur place pour bien montrer aux m\u00e9dias la pr\u00e9sence US. Le Times<\/em> fait un large \u00e9cho au m\u00e9contentement des organisations humanitaires, lui aussi largement anti-US, toujours \u00e0 cause du r\u00f4le pro\u00e9minent jou\u00e9 par les USA. De Paris, dans un texte<\/a> du 18 janvier, Charles Bremner met l’action sur la critique fran\u00e7aise de l’action US.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe Times<\/em> publie deux<\/a> articles<\/a> ce 19 janvier, sur le m\u00eame th\u00e8me, de ses trois envoy\u00e9s sp\u00e9ciaux sur l’\u00eele. Les descriptions donnent une semblable impression de chaos et de critique anti-US. Les extraits ci-dessous sont successivement du premier et du second.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t Premier texte (\u00abThis is criminal: leadership is desperately needed<\/em>\u00bb):<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abOn the tarmac the 82nd Airborne Division, some of whom I spoke to on Sunday, had been languishing since Wednesday night, sitting around, smoking cigarettes, not having left the airport. Outside the perimeter tens of thousands of Haitians were desperate for water and were begging for food and medicine.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbPrivate First Class Patrick Jones told me that only a few supplies of food and water had arrived. We don’t want to go out and distribute anything until we are sure we have enough for everyone, he said. We don’t want to give to some and not to others.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThere are planes from the US, Nicaragua, Argentina, the UK, Canada, Chile, Spain and France yet no central command. Aid agencies were incensed by Hillary Clinton’s visit on Saturday. The US military blocked supply planes from landing to make way for her arrival.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t Second texte (\u00abHaiti has a leader in charge, but not in control<\/em>\u00bb).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abSix days after disaster struck, the operation to rescue Haiti descended into blame and finger-pointing yesterday as only a trickle of food, water and medical assistance reached hundreds of thousands of victims. Aid agencies and donor countries accused the US military of giving its own aircraft priority. Outside the airport, aid and rescue workers protested that nobody seemed to be in charge as looting and lawlessness rose sharply on the streets of Port-au-Prince.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbM\u00e9decins sans Fronti\u00e8res (MSF) complained that it had had five aircraft carrying medical supplies and doctors diverted to the Dominican Republic since Saturday, and that the earliest landing slot it could secure at Port-au-Prince for a relief aircraft supposed to leave today was January 26. MSF said that the US military, which is running Port-au-Prince’s airport, had skewed priorities and it declared: Priority must be given immediately to planes carrying life-saving equipment and medical personnel. Forty per cent of incoming flights since last Tuesday have been military.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbAlain Joyandet, the French Co-operation Minister, called on the UN to investigate America’s dominant role in the relief effort and protested: This is about helping Haiti, not occupying it. Aid officials in Haiti complained of the lack of co-ordination between the UN, the US and aid agencies and were enraged when the airport was closed on Saturday so that Mrs Clinton could visit. I don’t really know who’s in charge, said Beno\u00eet Leduc, MSF’s operations manager in the capital.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
