Editorial: Le Monde

  • Haiti is facing a security and governance crisis, reflected in the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, the threat of civil war, and control by organized crime groups.
  • Ariel Henry, lacked popular legitimacy and his tenure was largely propped up by Western nations, primarily the United States.
  • The intervention of Western nations has led to mistrust due to their past actions in Haiti, including the spread of cholera and sexual abuses.
  • Forming a transition council in a gang-ruled capital and rebuilding security and democratic order are Haiti's immediate challenges.
  • Haiti's organized crime issue intertwines with global issues like arms trafficking from the United States and political influence of gangs.

Conclusion: Haiti's future necessitates international intervention, but in a more effective format than in the past, ensuring Haitians feel ownership of their destiny while effectively managing transnational organized crime.
