US seeks to turn Kenya mission in Haiti into UN peacekeeping operation

More than two months after the first contingents of Kenyan police officers arrived in Haiti to head a largely U.S.-funded multinational security force, the Biden administration is exploring the possibility of transitioning to a traditional United Nations peacekeeping operation.
The State Department, which in the face of funding and equipment shortfalls has been mulling over the possibility of transforming the Kenya-led Multinational Security Support, has notified U.S. lawmakers of its intentions, a source familiar with the matter told the Miami Herald.
An official with the White House National Security Council confirmed to McClatchy and the Herald that plans are under consideration to alter the nature of the force. The direction was also confirmed by a third source.
“In coordination with partners, the United States is exploring options to bolster the Multinational Security Support mission and ensure the support that the MSS is providing Haitians is sustained long-term and ultimately paves the way to security conditions permitting free and fair elections,” the national security official said.
The switch is both an acknowledgment of the administration’s struggle to attract voluntary contributions for the mission, which the administration says roughly costs $200 million every six months to operate, and of its failure to quickly restore order in Haiti despite public pronouncements that there has been progress since the Kenyans’ arrival.
A traditional U.N. peacekeeping operation would end the mission’s problems with funding, because it would be paid for through member nations’ traditionally assessed contributions. It would also provide more equipment like helicopters, which the current Kenya-led mission lacks, and possibly a hospital capable of performing surgeries. Also the U.N. would be able to mobilize military forces, rather than just cops, from other nations in a way that the U.S. has been unable to do.
A peacekeeping mission would need the approval of the U.N. Security Council, and there are questions about whether its members, especially China and Russia, would support it.

*Smith August second from the left
At least one of the political coalitions at the center of a high-profile corruption scandal threatening Haiti’s U.S.-backed transition has agreed to remove its representative from the country’s ruling presidential council, sources confirmed to the Miami Herald.
The EDE-RED/Compromis Historique political coalition, led by former prime minister Claude Joseph, agreed on Wednesday to replace its representative, Smith Augustin, from the nine-member council. Smith was scheduled to take the reins of the council’s leadership next month.
Smith, a former ambassador of Haiti to the Dominican Republic, Smith, and two other council members are accused in a bank bribery scandal that has blocked the panel’s ability to make decisions and the prime minister ability to secure members’ signature on certain decisions.
“We are in plain view of a new crisis,” Frantz Duval, the editor-in-chief of Le Nouvelliste, the country’s oldest daily, said Thursday during his appearance on the paper’s Radio Magik 9 morning news program. “We cannot say that the country is functioning better with nine people at its helm than when it had only one president or it didn’t have a president at all.”
For weeks CARICOM has been trying to help save the transition. On Wednesday, the bloc appeared to finally have a breakthrough when Joseph informed former Bahamas Prime Minister Perry Christie, who has been leading the negotiations, that his group would replace Augustin.
Christie is set to meet with representatives of the political parties behind the two other accused members on Thursday. They are also set to meet with Blinken, who is arrived in Port-au-Prince on Thursday to see where leaders are in organizing elections so that Haiti can have a new president by February 2026 and to shore up support for the security mission.

Even with the world watching Haiti's transition , motherfukkers still can't resist their natural tendency to be a fukkin thief.
People can talk all that blan, imperialism, neo-colonialism bullshyt but corruption and incompetence from Haitian leadership is always the biggest roadblock to progress.

In the interests of promoting Haitian lead solutions, representatives from different segments of society and political parties were to be put on the council.
I assumed that the political parties chose somebody to represent their voice/interests on the council. Those 3 council members allegedly trying to get bribes made personal decisions to steal. Can't be blamed on anybody but them. Not the US, and not the political parties they represent.

Would Hatian involvement from its diaspora in liberal democracies help at all? I would assume it would lead to effective ideas on checks and balances just from their experiences to stop corruption

Haiti’s ruling council moves to fire prime minister, endangering U.S.-backed transition
November 09, 2024
As the United Nations warned Friday that famine is spreading to new areas of Haiti amid the country’s worsening hunger and gang crises, the country’s top politicians are engaged in a high-stakes blame game that is setting the stage for another crisis. After weeks of tensions over who should control the government, the ruling Transitional Presidential Council moved late Friday to fire Prime Minister Garry Conille in an act that resembled more of a coup than a simple change in governance, as Haitians and diplomats tried to keep pace.
The council reportedly met with the national security forces in which leaders were informed of changes, and decided among themselves a replacement for Conille. The decision came after hours of discussions and political wrangling Friday, and after weeks of disagreement between the prime minister and Leslie Voltaire, the president of the nine-member council, which after taking the leadership reins last month demanded a cabinet reshuffle that Conille resisted.
On Thursday, a meeting brokered by the Organization of American States to try to salvage the transition ended without resolution after Conille, Voltaire and council member Fritz Jean could not reach an agreement. Another attempt on Friday to mediate the crisis also went nowhere and ended with one of the council members storming out on Conille.
Late Friday, the council sent a resolution dismissing Conille to the government’s official newspaper, Le Moniteur, for publication, several sources confirmed to the Miami Herald. The council was working on a second resolution reportedly naming his replacement. Whether the resolutions will be published remained uncertain, as council members appeared to be still engaged in discussions and planned to meet again on Saturday morning. Some foreign diplomats in Port-au-Prince were attempting again on Saturday to see if they could get both sides to make concessions before the publication of any resolution or mandate naming a new prime minister.
