(AP Photo/Odelyn Joseph) UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States and Mexico said Monday they are preparing a U.N. resolution that would authorize an international mission to help improve security in Haiti, whose government issued a “distress call” for the people of the crisis-wracked nation.

U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield made the announcement at an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council as thousands across Haiti organized protests demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry. The demonstrations came on the day the country commemorated the death of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, a slave who became the leader of the world’s first Black republic.

The U.S. ambassador said the proposed “non-U.N.” mission would be limited in time and scope and be led by “a partner country” that was not named “with the deep, necessary experience required for such an effort to be effective.” It would have a mandate to use military force if necessary.

I remember those days. Haiti also made most of the regulation baseballs in the world. Their neighbor with whom they share the island has sent scores of players to the MLB. I can’t think of a single one from Haiti.

True but they love them to call for help - it opens yet another revenue river flowing for the elites around the world to bundle and wash their money with.

Between Ukraine and Haiti we can be assured the elites are set.

Been there, done that.
You can’t fix terminally stupid.
Stop intervention and immigration and let the problem sort itself out.
They don’t want us White folks help, just $$$$$ for te the criminals in charge.
Remember when they held those Missionaries captive?
