Hundreds of Kenyan police officers have arrived in Haiti as part of a US-backed security intervention aiming to rescue the Caribbean country from a criminal insurrection that toppled the prime minister and brought death and chaos to the streets.
About 400 members of the Kenya-led multinational police operation stepped off a Kenyan Airways plane at Port-au-Prince’s international airport on Tuesday. The US president, Joe Biden, hailed their arrival as the start of “an effort that will bring much-needed relief to Haitians”.
Our newspapers which were very content with Ariel Henry’s coup are now very worried about “gangs”.
American intervention was very much opposed. The Kenyan Army Gang isn’t going to fix this.
Because of Haiti’s close proximity it’s in America’s interest to make sure only American puppet regimes get and stay in power.
Probably won’t fix things, I agree. I just don’t see any good options. I feel terrible for Haiti, they’ve deserved better for as long as they have been a state.
The previous UN intervention force was disastrous. From the article:
It’s unlikely that angry revolutionaries will be the best option in the short term but since we keep kicking Haiti when they’re down they cannot build up their country while it remains under puppet regimes.
