The Spin

Haiti should critically evaluate Western calls for intervention, as historically, Western powers, particularly the US, have exerted control over the country to sustain economic systems reliant on low-wage labor. Many so-called "gangs" are essentially freedom fighters opposing a Western-backed oligarchy. Labeling them as criminals perpetuates chaos that benefits foreign interests while keeping Haitians impoverished.

Just days after Prime Minister Fils-Aimé's inauguration, violence has spiraled out of control, with Jimmy Chérizier's gang forcing 20K more from their homes in a week. Over 700K are now displaced, and aid delivery has become too dangerous. With insufficient police to restore order, Haiti faces a deepening humanitarian crisis. The global community must act urgently to provide the help Haiti desperately needs.
