ACTIVISTS REJECT HAITI INTERVENTION

There are good reasons why another US-backed intervention in Haiti must not happen. While Western powers and media push for another armed mission, activists from the Americas told us it will fail, like all the ones before it. Instead of bringing peace, it’s feared it will cause more deaths and deepen the island’s political crisis. We hear from several groups, including the Black Alliance for Peace.

Armed gangs have taken control of Haiti’s capital after the recent resignation of President Ariel Henry. It’s a critical situation, but history shows foreign interventions make things worse, not better.

How should the crisis be resolved?
