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.

But Baby Doc was an anti-Communist who kept the Soviets out, so we looked the other way.
“Could care less about Haiti..”
Not me. I couldn’t care less.
Ah:
1: Take over the place.
2. Wait for the Democrats to make it a state.
3. Well, you know what comes next.
Tell biden to just use one of his nukes on the place.
Not our monkeys - Not our Circus!
Anything we try to do try will be pointless and a waste of resources. And, most likely only make things worse. They need to resolve their problems themselves.
Almost all of the Haitians I’ve met are decent folks but....but they cannot run their country. Not a race thing but a culture thing.
We were probably involved.
Lol. No surprise there.
Well, women are equal or superior to men in all things now. So ship ‘em out!
Or not. We could choose to stand on the sidelines and let someone else assist. Given our recent history, our “nation-building” skills are somewhat non-extant...
Classic third world kleptocracy.
We are heading to third world kleptocracy status...
fast.
What is that Polish saying? Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Liberia is not doing much better than Haiti these days.
That's probably why Pelosi is setting up a Capitol Hill police office in Florida, along with California.
All we’ve done to Haiti over the years and drop free food and doctors on them.
What’s the result? Nobody wants to farm there, because who can compete with free food. And who wants to be a doctor when the doctors are free. Basically Haitians had no incentive to create their own infrastructure, so the cycle of dependency on foreign aid becomes perpetual.
Under no circumstances should any US troops be sent to the Haitian hell hole, except Dementia Joe wants to send his “elite” transgender troops to Haiti of course. Didn’t we learn anything from invading Iraq and Afghanistan?
