The ongoing turmoil in Haiti has been exacerbated by US meddling. There’s a very good chance that the foreign intervention announced yesterday by the United Nations will make things worse.
The U.S. has been punishing Haiti since their revolution. Could not allow a bunch of uppity slaves to provide an example of successful revolt to the U.S. slaves.

100% and let's also not let France off the hook either, aren't they still collecting a debt from Haiti for kicking out the french slaveowners?
This was “arranged” under napoleon I btw. Something we should give him shit about.
No. They're collecting interest on debt levied for the loss of property, that property being the very people who liberated themselves.
