Haiti's 'Transitional Council' Deepens Chaos, Or Does It Deepen Foreign Control?
📰 THE STORY: AP reports that Haiti's transitional council has voted to oust Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, with one member, Edgard Leblanc Fils, announcing the decision and defying U.S. calls for stability. The move further destabilizes Haiti's leadership, which is provisionally set to step down in February. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: In 2004, the U.S., France,
and Canada orchestrated the coup d'état against Haiti's democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide for the second time (first was 1991). This act fundamentally destabilized the country, installing unelected proxies and dismantling institutions, paving the way for the current 'transitional' chaos. US policy has consistently undermined Haitian sovereignty, ensuring a weak state
susceptible to foreign dictates, not 'stability.' Double Standard: When sovereign nations like Venezuela (2002) resist US-backed coup attempts, it's framed as 'dictatorial suppression of democracy.' When Haiti's leaders are removed by internal bodies formed under external pressure, the narrative is 'internal political deepening chaos,' absolving foreign actors of their continuous role in creating
and maintaining the crisis. The AP doesn't question the legitimacy or origin of this so-called 'transitional council,' which was largely brokered under intense international pressure from the U.S. and CARICOM following gang violence that mysteriously escalated just as PM Ariel Henry was abroad.
