400 Kenyan police officers arrived on June 25 in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince. The deployment of 600 more is expected to follow in the coming days and weeks. The arrival of the Kenyan police force was authorized by the United Nations Security Council, which last year approved the dispatch of foreign law enforcement forces to the Caribbean country. The dispatch occurred the same day that Kenyan police killed eight protesters in Kenya who were protesting the unpopular neoliberal Finance Bill 2024. The armed mission in Haiti supposedly to stop the advance of gangs, which in recent months have controlled, according to some estimates, up to 80% of the territory of the capital and many other surrounding areas. Foreign police agents will be allowed to detain Haitian citizens with the local police.

Kenya’s President Defies His Country’s Constitution And Court To Invade Haiti

May 31, 2024 Ann Garrison, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Haiti, International Criminal Court (ICC), Kenya, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

Mwai Kibaki became president from 2002 to 2013, then Uhuru Kenyatta from 2013 to 2022. When Ruto was elected nothing much changed. Corruption remained endemic, and I think this explains a lot, though you don’t see it highlighted in Western media, because Kenya is a Western ally. Same thing with Ukraine. I think this corruption creates a pressure point for Western nations. Our leaders store their ill-gotten wealth in the West, in property, tax havens, and so forth, and it could all be sanctioned and seized if they didn’t do what the West wants. The same is true of a lot of African leaders. Also, our president now, William Ruto, is one of six guys who were sent to stand trial at the ICC.

May 17, 2024 Marie Laurette Numa, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Democracy, Foreign Intervention, Haiti, US Imperialism

The nine members of the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT), the new traitors to the Nation, are already at work. Working under the diktat of the American colonial administration, they have just committed another act of offense against the country by writing to Kenyan President William Ruto on Monday May 6 to demand the deployment of foreign forces that the Western powers in agreement with the UN Security Council have named their project to better sell: Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti. However, preparations to sully and defile Haitian territory for the umpteenth time by Westerners are well underway.

MOLEGHAF Denounces The US’ ‘Accord For Peaceful Orderly Transition’

April 18, 2024 MOLEGHAF, Black Agenda Report. Resist! Democracy, Foreign Intervention, Haiti, Revolution, Social Movements, US Imperialism

Once again, organizations and political parties, intertwined with the civil society above them, disrespectful of the masses, plunge Haiti into an abyss without bottom, bearing the name, POLITICAL AGREEMENT FOR A PEACEFUL AND ORDERLY TRANSITION. After more than 13 years of domination and exploitation of the neo-duvalierist PHTK political regime, and US imperialism, CARICOM has taken on the role of intermediary, renewing power for these criminal parties and organizations. It offers them all possible privileges and advantages to continue making the children of Haiti suffer more under their yoke and tribulations.

Revolution’s Human Costs And Unintended Consequences

April 12, 2024 Kim Ives, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Haiti, History, Human Rights, Revolution

On the night of August 21, 1791, the enslaved men and women of the French colony of Saint Domingue, then the richest in the Western Hemisphere, rose up in fury. They had been kidnapped from Africa, survived the deadly “middle passage,” seen their families separated, enslaved under inhuman conditions, worked around the clock, tortured, raped, abused, and humiliated. When the day of reckoning came, three centuries of anger erupted in a geyser of violence. The rampaging slaves burned the plantations and homes of their European enslavers.

CARICOM, Regional Arm Of The Core Group, Sells Out Haiti Again

April 10, 2024 Kevin Edmonds, Black Agenda Report. Educate! CARICOM, Democracy, Haiti, US Imperialism

One can be forgiven for being confused about the situation unfolding in Haiti, with all of the moving parts inside the country and, outside, the CARICOM-led construction of a Transitional Presidential Council and a looming “Kenyan-led” (and U.S. run) military intervention. This is not an accident; it is a carefully crafted distraction. A great deal of effort has been spent to make it appear that the process underway in Haiti is a result of “Haitian-led” initiatives, spearheaded by regional allies in CARICOM, out of genuine concern for Haiti and its peoples.

Haitian Community Defenders Fight US-Armed Death Squads

April 2, 2024 Danny Shaw, Truthout. Resist! Ariel Henry, Haiti, Revolution, Self-Determination

As the stars illuminate the dark alleyways of Solino, Ezayi’s heavy beige Timberlands stomp across the cracked concrete. He is on a mission. The night lookouts who stand guard at the western barricades against the marauding paramilitary gangs of the mass murderer Kempès Sanon do not have money to eat. When the night watchmen don’t eat during their shift, they get weak, drink kleren (moonshine) to trick their hunger and have a higher tendency to shirk their duties, or worse still, fall asleep. The enemy armed with modern weapons by the U.S. lurks around the corner.

Is Former De Facto Prime Minister Ariel Henry Now A De Facto Prisoner?

March 20, 2024 Kim Ives, Haiti Liberte. Educate! Ariel Henry, Corruption, Detention, FBI, Haiti

Ariel Henry, 74, once the king on Haiti’s chessboard, has now become a pawn of the U.S. in its increasingly desperate bid to send a proxy intervention force into the rebelling Caribbean nation. This is the picture Haïti Liberté has received from a well-placed source with intimate access into and knowledge of the U.S. government. Washington is now scrambling for way to send a “quick reaction force” into Haiti, and Ariel Henry remains one of their most important bargaining chips, the source says. After his chartered jet landed in Puerto Rico on Mar. 5, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) interrogated Henry for three days, according to our source.

The Haitian People Have Created A Revolutionary Moment

March 18, 2024 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Podcast - Clearing The FOG Ariel Henry, Haiti, Revolution, US Imperialism

On March 11, de facto Haitian President Ariel Henry resigned after being unable to return from a trip to Kenya where he attempted to sign an agreement for military intervention in his country. Social movements shut down the airport in Port-au-Prince and neither the Dominican Republic nor the United States were willing to assist his return. Clearing the FOG speaks with journalist and filmmaker Kim Ives of Haiti Liberte, who has covered events in Haiti for decades. Ives says the current revolutionary moment is unprecedented and describes how the popular movement is organizing to wrest control from Western imperialists that have been occupying Haiti since the coup against President Aristide in 2004.

Black Alliance For Peace: Haiti Behind The Headlines

March 15, 2024 Black Alliance For Peace Haiti/Americas Team, Black Agenda Report. Resist! Haiti, Military Intervention, US Imperialism, Western imperialism

Haiti is in the headlines again and, as usual, the headlines on Haiti are mostly negative. They are also largely false. Haiti, they tell us, is overrun by “gang violence.” Haiti is “a failed state,” standing on the verge of “anarchy” and teetering on the edge of “collapse.” Haiti, they tell us, can only be stabilized and saved through foreign military invasion and occupation. We have seen these stories before. We know their purpose. They serve to cover up the true origins of the “crisis” in Haiti while justifying foreign military intervention and setting up an attack on Haiti’s sovereignty.

Kenya Halts Police Deployment To Haiti After Resignation Of Ariel Henry

March 14, 2024 Tanupriya Singh, People's Dispatch. Educate! Ariel Henry, CARICOM, Haiti, Kenya, Military Intervention, United Nations (UN)

Kenya has suspended a police deployment to Haiti to be part of a US- and UN-backed mission, shortly after the de facto prime minister and president of the Caribbean country, Ariel Henry, announced his decision to resign on March 11. Abraham Korir Sing’Oei, the principal secretary of Kenya’s foreign ministry, stated on March 12 that the deployment would be “contingent on the ground situation, and the critical ground situation is that there has to be an authority that can be the basis for a police deployment, that enjoys constitutional authority in Haiti”.

United States Suffers Humiliating Defeat In Haiti

March 14, 2024 Steve Lalla, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Ariel Henry, Haiti, Revolution, Social Movements, US Imperialism

With the resignation of interim Prime Minister Ariel Henry, the US has suffered another humiliating foreign policy defeat. Henry was never elected, yet was recognized as prime minister and de facto leader of Haiti by the US and its vassals since July 2021, when he was encouraged to take power by the Core Group. The Core Group is a shadowy imperialist cabal composed of representatives from the US, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, the European Union, Brazil, and the Organization of American States (OAS) that has attempted to run Haiti since 2004, when democratically elected and hugely popular Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was abducted in the middle of the night by US marines and flown to the Central African Republic.
