Neo. The Only. The One.
THE ONE
Haiti has a prime minister that was democratically elected by the "international community"
speaking of which.... who is this "international community" anyway?
This mysterious group of men......
What do you mean? I don't understand what you're trying to say. The article says that a lot of people don't see the interim PM as legitimate but I didn't see any accusations that he's a puppet.

Feb 3 (Reuters) - Around seven in 10 people in Haiti back proposed creation of an international force to help the national police fight violence from armed gangs who have expanded their territory since the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moise, according to a survey carried out in January.
Some 69% of nearly 1,330 people across Haiti said they supported an "international force" - which has been requested by the Haitian government - according to a survey from local business risk management group Agerca and consulting firm DDG.
Nearly 80%, however, said they believed Haiti's PNH national police needed international support to resolve the problem of armed gangs, most saying it should be deployed immediately.
In October, the United Nations suggested a "rapid action force" be sent to Haiti to combat escalating violence from armed gangs whose turf battles have left hundreds dead and thousands displaced.
But many have expressed skepticism, citing abuses from past missions and questioning a force backing the administration of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, which has been without democratically elected representatives since early January.
Most countries have been wary of sending troops, though nearby Jamaica on Tuesday said it would be willing to participate and El Salvador has offered "technical assistance".
U.N. envoy to Haiti Helen La Lime last week said she had heard caution from the United States and Canada, but "not a definite no."
"Nobody wants to repeat the mistakes of the past," she said, adding the force would work in partnership with the PNH.
More than a third of those surveyed said since 2021 they knew someone in their neighborhood, family, or workplace who had been killed. Over 70% said their movements in the capital had been limited by gang presence and 83% said they lost income.
Some 36% said they or someone they knew had since 2021 been victim of a kidnapping, while 28% said this was the case for physical assault, and 9% for sexual assault. A quarter said they had stopped social activities and a fifth said they had left their homes.

Caricom is pro-west. The only carribbean nation that stand with the Haitian people against the corrupt government is Cuba. Cuba is the only nation that speak out
they're gonna have to figure this out cause...
This is bad. The county is missing out on tourist money as a vacation spot with this political mess. They literally share an island with DR.
People not gonna want to hear it...BUT ... prominent Haitians are begging for foreign intervention...and frankly, I don't wanna hear any complaints when US Marines touch downThis is bad. The county is missing out on tourist money as a vacation spot with this political mess. They literally share an island with DR.
I just went down the rabbit hole of this crisis on YouTube and it seems like the locals want the UN to step in asap. Didn't realize how common kidnapping is over there. Its funding the gangs in addtion to politicians paying the gangs to apply pressure on the locals to stay in power. Cops also stealing gas for themselves and them being corrupt also. Locals are saying the guns ad coming from the US....this shyt is nutsPeople not gonna want to hear it...BUT ... prominent Haitians are begging for foreign intervention...and frankly, I don't wanna hear any complaints when US Marines touch down
Bruh, it's damn near Mexico without the military down there.
IDK what people expect to happen.
People say tourism in Haiti but France f**ked that part of the island centuries ago. There are spots but it won’t be comparable to DR. They just have the bad third of the island.This is bad. The county is missing out on tourist money as a vacation spot with this political mess. They literally share an island with DR.
