The United Nations is continuing its calls for an invasion of the Caribbean island of Haiti under the pretext that they will “combat gang violence.” UN soldiers have a long history of committing atrocities against civilians in Haiti during previous invasions, including starting a cholera outbreak, sexual violence, propping up a murderous government, the murder of civilians, and a child sex ring involving 134 UN soldiers during the last UN occupation which lasted from 2004 to 2017.

The UN wants to send Kenyan troops to lead the invasion even though a Kenyan court has issued an order preventing the government from sending the country’s troops to Haiti following a case launched by opposition politician Ekuru Akrot. The Kenyan parliament is also yet to approve the deployment, although the cabinet “ratified” the deployment on October 13. Human rights groups have said that in the past Kenyan troops have used lethal force against civilians and their deployment to Haiti would be inappropriate because foreign UN troops have committed numerous crimes against civilians in the past.

    Haiti is already a maelstrom of chaos, and it makes no difference whether the UN sends troops or not.

      It’s worth noting the UN has specifically singled out the leader of possibly the least harmful “gang,” the G9 Revolutionary Force.

      Considering there’s widespread talk of government cooperation with the other gangs and the timing of this intervention talk right after the Bwa Kalé movement, there is no doubt in my mind that this intervention is meant specifically to quell the Haitian revolutionary potential.

      If you put the factions on their sides, the Kenyan police, the Core Group puppet government and a large selection of gangs will all be stacked against self-defence organisations, the odd opportunistic gang and popular movements.

      We can only hope the Kenyan police pull a Polish Mutiny thing and side with the rebels, but I doubt it’d happen in modern times.
