No to African and Caricom troops in Haiti!
Socialist Movement of Workers of the Dominican Republic
19 Jun 2024

The undemocratically imposed bourgeois political misleaders in Haiti must be understood as tools of imperialism that have led the country into its ongoing crisis.

Originally published in Socialist Movement of Workers of the Dominican Republic.

The imperialist government of the United States managed, through Caricom, to form a Presidential Council in Haiti made up of the PHTK and Lavalas, two bourgeois parties that, together with the imperialists, bear a good part of the responsibility for having led the country to the current crisis. . After two years of failed efforts with Canada, Brazil and other governments to try to persuade them to undertake the military occupation of Haiti, the US has also committed the governments of Caricom and Kenya and other African governments to integrate an occupation mission, similar to Minustah although weaker.

We consider that a new imperialist military intervention to support corrupt bourgeois politicians will not bring prosperity and peace to Haiti, on the contrary it will give continuity to the type of interference that has been crucial for the development of the current crisis. Even if it temporarily manages to return to the Haitian bourgeoisie some territorial control in the capital, this intervention will not solve any of the country's fundamental problems.

A broad international movement of solidarity with Haiti is needed to support the popular self-defense of the Bwa Kalé movement against the gangs, the cancellation of Haiti's foreign debt, the payment of compensation and reparations for the colonial thefts perpetrated by France and the United States, the confiscation of the properties and bank accounts of the corrupt Petrocaribe in Haiti and abroad and that these resources are used to guarantee access to water, electricity, food and sources of work for the Haitian masses. The Presidential Council imposed by the United States, headed by an agent of the Clintons, does not represent the interests of the working people; it is necessary to build a front of workers and popular organizations to exercise an effective opposition, fighting for better salaries and living conditions, in the prospect of building a working class government.
