The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Time is running out to contain the total collapse of Haiti and avoid a humanitarian catastrophe, so it's pressing that the United States break from its failed disengagement approach to the country in its backyard and empowers trusted Haitian and Haitian-American partners. Otherwise, Haiti will turn into a narco-state and pose a threat to Americans.

Establishment-critical narrative

None of the US-sponsored neocolonial interventions in Haiti have been particularly successful, including the Multinational Security Support Mission currently on the ground. Neither this occupation nor any other foreign efforts will address the plight of the people — only Haitians can achieve that.
