Action Committee condemns the arrival of 400 Kenyan police
officers in Haiti on Tuesday, June 25th, as the advance
force for the US-funded invasion to prop up and
“stabilize” the repressive US-installed PHTK (Haitian
Party of Tet Kale) regime. Even though PHTK leader Ariel
Henry was forced out of power this past spring, the PHTK
remains in control, dominating a newly-installed
“transitional presidential council” For this new

injuries of hundreds and the killings of demonstrators on

President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004 and the
