NOT ANOTHER US/UN INVASION OF HAITI

DEMONSTRATE

Haiti Action Committee condemns in the strongest possible terms the UN 
Security Council vote to authorize yet another invasion of Haiti. 
Organized and promoted by the US, the invasion will be fronted by Kenya, 
which has pledged to send 1000 police. The Kenyan police force is 
notorious for its corruption and brutality, including the recent killing 
of over 30 people in a peaceful demonstration over increased fuel 
prices. Soon, this police force - along with other foreign troops - will 
be murdering Haitians.


The authorization comes despite overwhelming opposition from multiple 
sectors of Haitian society, who have demanded instead the removal of the 
current regime of unelected and illegitimate Prime Minister Ariel Henry 
and the installation of a broadly representative transitional 
government. While the US characterizes this new intervention as an 
attempt to stop “gang violence,” the real aim is to prop up the current 
dictatorship and to fend off the broad-based efforts within Haiti to 
oust it.


This is why Henry, the neoliberal puppet of the US and the Core Group of 
foreign occupiers, has called for foreign troops and why Kenyan soldiers 
are preparing an invasion. Faced with collapsing infrastructure, the 
spectre of famine looming over half the population, a new cholera 
outbreak, and a defunded health care system, Haitians now fear that the 
militarized national police and their armed proxies, the paramilitary 
“gangs” who have been terrorizing dissident communities, will be 
buttressed by more foreign tanks and troops, to further oppress the 
civilian population.


We remember the democraticallyelected governments of Jean-Bertrand 
Aristide and the Lavalas movement that were twice overthrown by 
US-supported coups d’etat. Had it not been for the coups, “Today, many 
of the beautiful dreams of the Haitian people would have already 
materialized,” a recent Fanmi Lavalas statement declared. “The 
anti-democratic forces have produced a hell on earth: kidnapping, 
insecurity, misery, hunger, corruption”—a failure that now requires a 
new occupying army to sustain it.


THIS IS WHY WE OPPOSE A NEW FOREIGN INVASION AND EXPRESS OUR OUTRAGE AT 
THE US GOVERNMENT’S POLICY
