The Black Alliance for Peace Haiti/Americas Team issued this statement in protest of the latest effort of the Core Group to undermine Haitian sovereignty.

APRIL 26, 2023âToday, the United Nations Security Council is holding consultations on the future of Haiti. No Haitian individuals or organizations will be present at the meeting. Instead, Haiti will be represented by its occupying entities: The Core Group and the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH), the mandate of which is set to expire on July 23.
The Haiti/Americas Team of the Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) and BAP member organization in Haiti, MOLEGHAF (Mouvement National pour la LibertĂ© et LâĂ©galitĂ© des HaĂŻtiens pour la FraternitĂ© or National Movement for Liberty and Equality of Haitians for Fraternity), denounce the Core Groupâs and BINUHâs continued occupation of Haiti as well as their ongoing actions to undermine Haitiâs democracy and sovereignty.
Over the past year, we have witnessed massive popular protests that have been part of a broader struggle for a Haiti free from suffocating foreign interference. That includes manufactured âgang violenceâ and the illegitimate government installed by the United States and the Core Group. Yet, those speaking on behalf of Haiti refuse to recognize the core demands of the people for democracy, sovereignty and a just life.
BINUH and the Core Group do not represent Haitian people. Haitian people consider these entities occupation forces. BAP and MOLEGHAF have consistently demanded the Core Group and the so-called âInternational Communityâ acknowledge and atone for their role in the continuing deterioration of the situation in Haiti today.
As we have continually stated, the âcrisisâ in Haiti is a crisis of imperialism, a crisis initiated in 2004 by the United States, France and Canada, and consecrated by the United Nations. No decision about Haiti should be made by those who not only do not represent the people, but have also consistently harmed them.
Once again, we demand the disbanding of the Core Group, the removal of the BINUH office from Haiti, respect for the sovereign rights of the Haitian people, and NO MORE FOREIGN INTERFERENCE IN HAITI!
The Democrats -- who are now the most aggressive war party â have succeeded in linking Donald Trump to Russia, and then lumping all critics of U.S.
It is time for leftists to stop giving Sanders a pass and make demands on him and all other candidates for office.
The U.S.-led arms trade and the Great Race to the Bottom are interconnected phenomena that cannot be fought separately.
If Bernie Sanders keeps going along with the Russiagate propaganda, he will find himself âTrumpedâ by the War Party and unable to enact his agenda.
