Now the question is whether the prospective intervention led by Kenya would measure up to the task.

Antonio Guterres, the U.N. chief, has put forward the notion that a multinational police deployment backed by military resources is imperative for reinstating law and order in Haiti and dismantling criminal gangs.

What happened to the 500 new Haitian Army soldiers that began basic training back in January 2019?

Guterres stated, "Haiti's current context is not conducive to peacekeeping." In his report, he underscores the necessity of restoring law and order, disarming gangs, securing key installations and roads, and reinstating a state presence to offer essential services.

If you spent anytime in Haiti during the MINUSTAH days, I am sure you witnessed UN tanks rolling by in the streets indifferent of what is going on in the country.

If somebody has to come to this country one more time hopefully it is to uproot all the bad asses who have turned Haiti into a hell hole, the ones in the streets and the ones with the suits.

Otherwise stay where you are and may the "bwa kale" continue.
