Given that the U.S. is the only super power left and Haiti is on its doorstep and given the military is the only organisation able to respond quickly with aid, medical support and the security necessary to enable all responding organisations to operate and given the Haitian government has ceased to exist, who the f**k else would you suggest went to the aid of our fellow human beings in Haiti?

Film Screening: Cuba - An African Odyssey, Thursday, 13th May, 8pm in Solidarity Books.
This revealing, award-winning documentary adds to our understanding of the Cold War through its least-known context Africa.
From 1961 to 1991, the Dark Continent was a battleground for four different competing interests. The Soviet Union wanted to extend its influence into a new continent; the U.S. lusted after Africa s natural resources; former European empires felt their grip on the area weaken; and, newly formed African nations fought to defend their recently won independence. When the latter called on Cuban guerillas to aid them in their struggle, Castro and Cuba stepped in to build a new offensive strategy, which would have long-lasting influence on developing countries in their battles against colonialism.
From Che Guevara s efforts in the Congo to the triumphant battle at Cuito Cuanavale, CUBA: AN AFRICAN ODYSSEY tells the story of those internationalists who won their battles but ultimately lost the war.
Film Screening: Revanche, Saturday, 15th May, 8pm in Solidarity Books.
Ex-con Alex dreams about starting a new life with the Ukrainian prostitute Tamara. To do so, he wants to rob a bank erasing debts and making the flight towards the South possible. But Tamara is unintentionally shot on the escape by the coincidentally present policeman, Robert. Alex flees to the farm of his grandfather and learns that Robert lives close by...thoughts of revenge start to arise.
Running Time: 121 minutes.
