We urge people of conscience around the world to stop another United Nations invasion of Haiti.
Black Alliance for Peace
SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 â Once again, the Haiti/Americas Team of the Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) strongly denounces the latest attempts by the U.S. to push for yet another UN military occupation of Haiti. We condemn this action and the relentless assaults on Haitian self-determination by the US and its criminal allies. We also urge Caribbean and Latin American governments to stand in solidarity with Haiti â just as they have stood with one another against violations of national sovereignty in Venezuela, Cuba, Honduras, etc. â as the Haitian people continue to bear the brunt of U.S. imperial policies and actions in the region.
On September 5th and 6th, the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Haiti and the Dominican Republic. In Haiti, Blinken met with members of the US- and CARICOM-imposed âpresidential councilâ and the illegitimate Prime Minister of Haiti to discuss support for the Kenyan and U.S. occupation forces currently present in the country.
On September 5, 2024, a group of Haitian and Dominican organizations released a statement denouncing Blinkenâs visit to the island (English translation here). The statement titled, âRepudiation of the Presence of the Representative of Yankee Imperialism in Haiti and the Dominican Republic,â declared:
This interventionist visit will bring no good to the Haitian people, nor to the Dominican people. Rather, it will seek to consolidate the neocolonial domination imposed on Haiti since the first U.S. military occupation (1915-1934) and on the Dominican Republic (1916-1924). In fact, Blinkenâs only mission is to protect the interests of imperialism in Haiti and those of Haiti's small, repugnant elite class. He will do the same in the Dominican Republic.
Soon after Blinkenâs departure from the island, Western media revealed the true U.S. objective of his visit: transforming the illegal, unpopular, and inept U.S.-led Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission of 400 Kenyan police officers into a full-scale UN occupation (cynically referred to as a âpeacekeeping operation.â). This was further confirmed by reports that the UN Security Council is considering a resolution to deploy a military force to Haiti.
BAPâs position has been consistent and unwavering: we support Haitian self-determination. We will continue to struggle against foreign invasion and occupation of the country. Since 2021, we have advocated against U.S. imperial machinations in Haiti, including the continuing renewal of the mandate of the UN office in Haiti (BINUH), which Haitian people see as an occupation force, and the establishment of the MSS. BAP challenged the narrative of âgang violenceâ as a pretext for occupation and argued that it is the U.S.âs own puppets and Haitian oligarchs that are arming young men in Haiti. We warned that the MSS was a temporary cover for a more permanent military occupation of Haiti through proxies, and with the blessing of the UN. And we continue to remind people of the brutal repercussions of the two decades-long 2004 UN intervention and occupation of Haiti.
In solidarity with Haitian and Dominican organizations opposing U.S. imperialism, and in defense of Haitian self-determination and sovereignty, the Haiti/Americas Team of the Black Alliance for Peace demands an end to the current occupation of Haiti, calling for the closure of the BINUH office in Haiti, and the removal of Kenyan and U.S. militarized police from the country. We also demand that the UNSC cease its interference in Haitian affairs on behalf of the U.S.
We urge people of conscience around the world to help stop another UN invasion of Haiti and, we also warn leaders of the Caribbean and Latin America â who have either remained silent or are actively participating in the U.S. usurpation of Haitian sovereignty â that if Haiti is not free from U.S. bullying and imperial control, no other country in the region will be free.
