A 7.0-magnitude quake – the biggest recorded in this part of the Caribbean – rocked Port-au-Prince last night, collapsing a hospital and sending houses tumbling into ravines. Witnesses reported seeing bodies in the rubble and clouds of dust shrouding the city, but with telephone communications cut the extent of damage was not immediately clear.

The role of the United Nations Stabilization Mission In Haiti (MINUSTAH, from its name in French) has been to impose the will of the imperialists on the Haitian people, including by killing Haitians resisting the puppet government and helping the Haitian police do the same.
Good riddance, UN/MINUSTAH!
