US-Haitian elected officials request 'urgent' meeting with Biden
A group of more than 200 current and former Haitian-American elected officials are reaching out to the Biden administration and requesting an “urgent” meeting to discuss U.S. policy toward the Caribbean nation in the wake of the assassination of the country’s president.
In a letter sent Friday to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and obtained by The Hill, the National Haitian-American Elected Officials Network (NHAEON) requests a briefing on the administration’s approach to Haiti amid the country's political turmoil, ongoing plague of gang violence and struggle against COVID-19.
The group said they are “weary and frustrated” over the lack of engagement from the Biden administration on the issue, despite an established relationship addressing the president’s decision in May to extend for 18 months Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians residing in the U.S.
@Mirin4rmfar why is it odd that a President can be corrupt, do nice things to gain the people's support, and do terrible things to people who challenge the government? It's not like it hasn't been done before.
But he hasn't done any of this. All the talks of him being a dictator were unwarrented. He had to rule by decree not because he wanted a dictatorship but because a lot of these politicians are brought and their sole purpose is to him because they are taking orders from rich guy at the top telling them to block this guy from doing his job. He asked them plenty of time to come to the table. He did not kill not one of them.
Hope they stream this live

I’m used to the type.Gave people the heads up about that member for years here. He's part of the YTer follower element that spreads ignorance. He doesn't know what he's talking about, and when corrected/debunked he ducks owning up to it.
