Seitenfus says that the United Nations, “especially Edmond Mulet and Ban Ki-moon,” denied the UN’s “direct and scientifically-verified responsibility for the introduction of the Vibrio #cholera into Haiti.” As of February 9, 2014, 699,244 people contracted cholera and 8,549 have died.

Seitenfus slams the international community for supporting The UN’s “lie” and turning it into strategy. He blames the so-called “Group of Friends of Haiti”: Argentina, the Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Chile, the United States, Guatemala, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, as well as Germany, France, Spain and Norway, in their roles as Permanent Observers in the OAS as complicit in a “genocide by negligence.”

The UN’s report on origins of #cholera in #Haiti

the full report as a PDF. After a very quick scan of the document, I can say that it’s an excellent history of the early phase of the outbreak.
It’s also a masterpiece of diplomatic writing that never once directly names the Nepali peacekeepers as the carriers of the South Asian strain of Vibrio cholera that has killed almost 5,000 persons and sickened a quarter of a million.

In fact, the report blames the victims much more directly:
(...)
We have to understand that the MINUSTAH forces are there because of a coup organized by the US and Canadian governments against the elected Haitian government of Jean-Claude Aristide. Rather than send in the US Marines, who ran the country early in the 20th century, it was now politically expedient to hand the dirty work over to the UN.
The UN, in turn, had to find peacekeepers. These come nowadays from developing countries who can use the cash paid for contributing their soldiers.
