Haiti needs the United Nations to stay

When the UN arrived in Haiti at the end of President Bertrand Aristide’s tumultuous reign in 2004, the murder rate in the capital of Port-au-Prince was an astounding 219 per 100,000. To put this in context, the murder rate in St. Louis – the city with our nation’s highest murder rate at present, is 66 per 100,000.

When the UN’s stabilization mission left Haiti in 2017, that rate had fallen to 35 per 100,000. However, since that time violence has been increasing, a particularly troubling sign since the last vestige of the UN mission is scheduled to depart mid-October.

It is never ideal for a UN presence to become prolonged to the point at which it feels as if it is permanent, and the ideal should be a departure of such forces as soon as a nation is stable. Unfortunately, based on our on-the-ground presence and current assessment, Haiti is not at this point. We need Congress and the administration to urge the United Nations to continue its presence in country


Another driver of the nation’s woes has been the destabilization of the Haitian gourde, the local currency. During much of the UN’s tenure in Haiti, the gourde remained reasonably stable against the U.S. dollar. While the gradual devaluation of the gourde certainly predated the exit of the UN, the currency has fallen precipitously since the UN drawdown began.

The extent of the diminished buying power of basic goods and services has driven the already marginalized poor to their breaking point, leading to an escalation of the violence described earlier. Without the calming effect of the UN’s presence, the situation will surely worsen.



Funny how the moment there aren't arm troops lawlessness starts again. At this point, I am for Haiti being occupied since it's obvious Haitians can't rule themselves at this point, the moment Jovenel leaves, the country will go further down the rabbit hole because every dumb fukker is going to want power and will stop at nothing to get it hence why they can't wait for proper elections and are always preaching violence.

Jovenel leaving isn't going to magically solve anything and having leaders who preach violent take over isn't going to make the country. Haiti is corrupt through it's core. It ain't just the president. From top to bottom everyone is getting a little money in their pocket to keep quiet.

Here is one of the senators crib :patrice:

half a million dollar house in Boca Raton :patrice: How much money are these senators getting broke off that they are able to buy half of million dollars and have their kids go to UF, Notre Dame etc. How are all these people's family able to live in Canada, France or U.S while they maintain a residence in Haiti? No Thanks.

Go to any establishment in Haiti, put some money in your hand, with a handshake, they will skip you right through the front of the line. I know a lady that hasn't worked in Haiti for years, the hospital is cashing phantom worker checks.

This is the bullshyt I want to avoid by Jovenel leaving though I do believe is incompetent. I would rather have a transition through elections than pure lawlessness because people with personal interest in the election. It will get worse if he leaves without a transitional election in place.

I am not rooting for anybody, I listened to the protesters. I have realized he has done a poor job meeting the needs of a lot of people because of "lavi che" which is within their full rights to complain about. If the basic needs of people are not being met, they have every right to protest. I fully believe you cannot squeeze an already poor population out of their money. It's also ashame that the country twice had the funds to reset only for money to fall into corrupt hands...the earth quake money and the petro Carib money.

I just want a clean house if Jovenel goes. Literally clean house. No PHTK, No Fanmi Lavalas, No pitit Desallin, completely clean house. Completely new from top to bottom. No hold overs. Even some of my family members want him to go in hopes of peace If that's what's it's going to take, so be it.
