Haitian Movements Are Clear: Foreign Intervention Is No Solution |
|
On March 21, our Haitian partners joined us for a webinar on the current crisis in their country, and its historical roots. This solidarity encounter served to highlight voices not often heard in the international bodies currently plotting Haiti’s future: that of Haitian grassroots movements made up of small farmers and ordinary people. Amid rising gang violence and plans for a new United Nations military occupation, these movements made clear that UN “peacekeepers” are no solution to Haiti’s problems. According to our partners, wealth extraction by the world’s major powers, gang violence, and UN military occupations are all related. In place of imperial interventions, proposals like the Montana Accord offer Haitian-led solutions and a path to a free, sovereign, and democratic Haiti. |
