U.S. to Export 'Kamikaze Drone' Solution to Haiti's Problems
Al Jazeera's coverage of 'kamikaze drones' targeting Haitian gangs paints a picture of a nation grappling with domestic violence, with a curious omission. While they note drones are 'ineffective,' they neglect to unpack why Haiti is a narco-state awash in weaponry. One might recall the 2004 U.S.-backed coup that ousted democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, leaving a power vacuum
perfect for gang proliferation. The U.S. has a long, documented history of installing and propping up compliant regimes in Haiti, from arming the Duvaliers to the ongoing 'stabilization missions' that reliably leave the country more unstable. Now, after decades of extracting resources and dictating policies, the solution is 'death from above'? How many times must the U.S. 'help' a nation into
deeper crisis before the media questions the helper, not just the tools?
