WaPo: The United States will have to intervene in Haiti

Washington Post (3/25/24 ([link removed]) )

This week on CounterSpin: US corporate media’s story about Haiti is familiar. Haiti, according to various recent reports, has “whipped from one calamity ([link removed]) to another.” The country is a “cataclysm of hunger and terror,” “teetering on the brink of collapse ([link removed]) ,” “spiraling deeper into chaos ([link removed]) ” or else “descending into gang-fueled anarchistic chaos ([link removed]) .” It’s “become a dangerously rudderless ([link removed]) country.” According to one Florida paper’s editorial ([link removed]
otte/opinion/editorials/editorial-haitis-unrest-becoming-our-problem/article_6a39647a-ed18-11ee-bf18-af5d2189313a.html) : “Haiti's unrest” is now “becoming our problem,” as Floridians and the US "struggle to help people in Haiti, although history suggests there are no answers.”

Or, well, there is one answer: The Washington Post made space for a former ambassador to explain ([link removed]) that 20 years ago in Haiti, “the worst outcomes were avoided through decisive American intervention. Today's crisis might require it as well.”

At this point, the Austin American-Statesman’s “Haiti Cannibalism Claims Unfounded” ([link removed]) might pass for refreshing.

AP had a piece ([link removed]) that actually talked to Haitians amid what is indeed a deep and deepening crisis. A grandmother told the wire service, “We’re living day-by-day and hoping that something will change.”

We talk about what has to change—including, importantly, Western media presentations that ignore or erase even recent history—with Chris Bernadel, from the Black Alliance for Peace ([link removed]) 's Haiti/Americas Team ([link removed]) and Haitian grassroots group Moleghaf ([link removed]) .
