RUTO'S HAITI FAILURE EXPLAINED

The situation in Haiti reflects deep-seated global inequalities perpetuated by imperialist interests and systemic exploitation. Despite Haiti's challenges being in large part due to subjugation and political interference, figures such as Kenyan President William Ruto adopt positions that align with Western powers - all the while obscuring their culpability through progressive rhetoric. Ruto's involvement in Haiti, including deploying Kenyan police officers under the guise of a pan-African security mission, highlights how African leaders can be complicit in furthering imperialist agendas. Ironically, Ruto's alignment with Western interests has not yielded tangible benefits, as Kenya's treasury foots the bill for an underfunded and ineffective mission while Haitian problems, such as gang violence and state collapse, persist unabated.

The destabilisation of Haiti parallels cases like Sudan, where Western-backed factions perpetuate conflict. The flow of arms into Haiti from the US, unchecked by Washington, suggests a deliberate perpetuation of instability, while NGOs exacerbate local problems rather than resolving them. Haiti's plight, rooted in centuries of exploitation, is emblematic of a global system where imperialist powers extract resources, destabilise governments and suppress progressive leaders, leaving nations in perpetual cycles of suffering and dependence.
