Moïse’s death and the lack of a functioning government also serves as a clear cut signal that the U.S. must play a greater role in Haiti’s future, starting right now.
It’s clear that Haiti will need both immediate and longer-term guidance to move forward in a democratic way. This is a country that started out with weak institutions, and they’re now virtually non-existent. The U.S., as Haiti’s biggest donor, has no choice but to take the lead — with international partners and, importantly, Haiti’s own civil society — to stabilize Haiti.
An international coalition could do immense good very quickly by picking five critical things to focus on so that basic life in Haiti can continue: good roads, reliable electricity, clean water, policing that works and COVID vaccines...
U.S. must also drop the idea of elections in two months. The Biden administration had pinned its hopes on “free and fair” elections, refusing to take into consideration the amount of turmoil in Haiti was going to make that very hard time to pull off.
Transition governments have worked in the past. That’s the best path forward now. Elections must be reset for a date that allows Haiti time to get its footing. Rushing into an election now will only result in more chaos — and an electorate that doesn’t believe in the results.

What would the illegitimate Biden regime know about ‘democracy’? Nothing, they obviously don’t even believe in it.

By all PC logic they should be building Faster than Light Starships by now!
It's a clear-cut signal to blockade the place and evacuate all Americans willing to leave.
Playing a greater role in "Haiti's future" (as if) is not our job.
Actually the ONLY action that should be taken is to completely eliminate the ability of ALL Haitians to come to the US.
Disgusting, dirty and vile people.
Live in a tropical paradise. The Dominican Republic has tourism out the whazoo, reaping all sorts of money from tourists, while the Haitians can’t even wipe their own a$$es.
