I think this has everything to do with the "Kenya-led intervention" US imperialists are trying to create in Hati

You do understand Haiti is being run by gangs at the moment, right? Close to a hundred thousand people have fled the capital city, this isn't some righteous revolution or something, it's a bunch of small time fascists taking advantage of a weak state and an unwillingness by the US to get involved try to seize power.

The UN and US are providing funding to help Kenya provide some kind of security. Whats your alternative? Let Haiti burn?

Wonder how haiti came to be run by gangs 🤔/gen

TLDR a history of French colonialism which is why people want Kenya at the wheel on any intervention rather than a former colonial power.

Not an answer. You literally don't have one, all you've got is "America bad".

Welp, the US is sitting this one out, so now's your chance to offer a solution on how to help without US interference.

The US is flying in hundreds of thugs from one of its puppet states in Africa to brutalise the Haitians and beat them into submission. America bad.

The USA has been letting Haiti burn for decades. It's not an alternative, it's the status quo of US intervention. The alternative is intervention by BRICS countries, but the USA would never allow it because of their blood thirsty Monroe Doctrine

Has Brazil offered to intervene?
