You claim that the country is plagued by coups and violence, yet the rule-of-law was subverted by outsiders in 1991 and 2004. These interventions were sponsored by the “international community.” The National Endowment for Democracy, International Republican Institute and others were the stakeholders who paid opposition parties to stir up trouble and push their agendas in Haiti. It is well documented that the US trained so-called rebels in the Dominican Republic. Many of these thugs were former members of the disbanded Haitian army and wanted criminals–for crimes against humanity, rapes, massacres, drug trafficking…

MINUSTAH was brought in only after chaos and the rule-of-law was subverted by the US, France and Canada. They sponsored the “kidnapping in the service of a coup.” President Aristide explained why, it was threefold, PRIVATIZATION, PRIVATIZATION, PRIVATIZATION.

So you can take your pretense at outrage and righteously indignation at the poor majority to somebody who will buy it. The thugs were brought and paid for with money from people outside the country, who aligned with so-called civil society groups like American businessman Andre Apaid’s Group 184.

The chaos was deliberately orchestrated by the “international community.” It is evident that the best interests of Haitians did not have a place at the table at the “Ottawa Initiative.” [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_Initiative] No government official from Haiti was invited to attend while Haiti’s faith was being decided by the powers that be. Rather the interest of the corporatocracy and foreign governments were the only interests that mattered.

The thugs who were paid to do the raping, murdering and killing were servicing these entities. Although the criminals who planned to scuttle Haiti’s first democratically elected government did not carry out the killings, they do have Haitian blood on their hands.

Peace.

The UN did not come because everything was smooth. They came because of the pandemonium that existed. A lot of us, yours truly included, want MINUSTAH out. But if they leave, then what? There is safe and there is safer. Haiti is NOT safe! As you mention, the killing, the raping etc… I agree Haiti is definitely NOT safe, even, with the UN present! But does anyone over the age of 5 really believe that we would be safer without them. Should we remind ourselves of how many of our own compatriots we have killed, raped or otherwise destroyed during the, sometimes, short tenures of some of our head of states?

Listen Chantal, I agree with you, the UN soldiers MUST be accountable for their acts wherever they are; including while in Haiti. However, in the absence of good, the lesser of two evils is always my choice. MINUSTAH STAYS.

Very intrigued to learn that Haiti is now so secure that MINUSTAH (according to the Brazilian Commander) can now pursue a new mission–to improve Haiti’s “socioeconomic” status. Apparently, this new work by MINUSTAH involves keeping the Haitian people away from whatever project they (MINUSTAH) are carrying out that is slated to improve the Haitian economy–makes a person wonder who’s economy is really slated for approval and at what expense to the Haitian people’s freedom and democracy.

According to MINUSTAH, Haitians can’t be trusted–so the facts about this mysterious economic venture are a deep dark secret–to be acted upon under the cover of night. How kind of MINUSTAH to do all the heavy lifting themselves for the good of Haiti (sarcasm).

Weldy and other Haitians who have been shot, raped and murdered during MINUSTAH’s extended sojourn in Haiti, certainly are in no condition health-wise to give a helping hand.

Keep up the good work.
