Haiti’s Water Wars: Neocolonialism Past and Present w/ Edwidge Danticat

A few days after the Dominican Republic shut down its border with Haiti over a border dispute, Joe Biden called on the UN to militarily intervene in Haiti amid an uptick in violence. The call for intervention has been met with widespread criticism given the long history of human rights abuses by UN peacekeepers in Haiti and other countries. Edwidge Danticat, renowned Haitian-American novelist, discusses how the struggle over the canal at the center of the border dispute fits into the larger fight for Haitian sovereignty.

The news of Kenya's intent to send police officers to Haiti sends shockwaves across the consciousness of every Pan-Africanist. One cannot help but see it as a glaring betrayal of our ideals, our shared history, and our collective dream of a united and strong Africa. How can President William Ruto, who has paraded himself as a Pan-Africanist, justify dispatching Kenyan officers with a murky human rights record to a beleaguered Haiti? Ruto's speeches on Pan-African unity now sound hollow, mere political rhetoric devoid of genuine intent. Haiti isn't just another country in need. It is a beacon of Black resistance, the first nation to rise against colonial oppressors. Sending a force tainted with allegations of collusion with terrorists, human rights abuses, and corruption is not solidarity; it's a mockery. This move by Kenya raises the question: are we, as Africans, now inadvertently becoming tools in the hands of the same neo-colonial powers we fought against? When our forces have been tainted with controversies on our own soil, sending them to another land, especially one as historically significant as Haiti, is akin to placing the wolf to guard the sheep. The audacity is even more glaring given the linguistic barriers. Sending officers who neither speak French nor Creole shows a sheer lack of foresight and, dare I say, a hint of arrogance. How can peace and order be brokered when there's no basic communication? Kenya's involvement in peacekeeping within Africa itself has raised eyebrows. Somalia stands testament to our failures. If we haven't been able to ensure peace in our backyard, what audacity propels us to believe we can do so across the Atlantic? The essence of Pan-Africanism lies not just in standing with our brethren but in doing so effectively, meaningfully, and respectfully. This move by Kenya feels like a slap in the face to every African and Haitian who genuinely believes in the spirit of solidarity. It's high time African nations introspect. Do we truly stand for our Pan-African ideals, or have we become pawns in a larger geopolitical game? Our actions today will define the future of our collective dream of a united, powerful, and truly independent Africa. We owe it to our ancestors, our shared history, and future generations to make the right choices.

As a Dominican you should Know by now that previous foreign military action/intervention did not really solve the core issue.
