The gangs are heavily composed of ex/current police. My guess is the weapons went to the police and the police funneled them down to the gangs. BBQ himself was police, that's probably where a good chunk of his collection came from.

But if the NED is backing the incumbent president, and was responsible for getting BBQ kicked out of the federal police, why would the US arm his guys too?

It's been a while since this discussion last came up so my memory is a little hazy. But afaik the gangs were originally enforcers for the US puppets rule. BBQ himself was a police chief and the police and gangs worked in tandem to maintain the status quo.

It's gotten messy since the assassination of the previous puppet, with them now working againzt the US

quote:

Haiti’s Prime Minister Ariel Henry has tendered his resignation and appealed for calm as the country descends into chaos.

The 74-year-old announced he would step aside late on Monday following an emergency meeting of regional nations.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was also at the summit and promised an additional $100m for a United Nations-backed force to stabilise the country as well as $30m in humanitarian assistance.

It would be tasked with meeting the “immediate needs” of Haitian people, enabling the security mission’s deployment and creating security conditions necessary for free elections, Blinken said.

Love to recruit mercenaries to secure elections.

that 100 million would be enough to put in place an extensive and sustainable food security program in place which would go a long way towards relieving the conflict. instead, they want to serve more conflict

Bbq seems like a shady character, and i dont know too much about Haiti. But if the goal is less violence and chaos its probably a good thing if the person nominally in charge of the state is the same person who can actually control the streets.

They couldn't give a poo poo about the people that live there, I'm sure they just want to drone strike Cherizier and the other leaders, and then deal with the aftermath sometime down the road.

Kenya pauses Haiti mission following doubts

quote:

STORY: Kenya’s government did an about-face on Tuesday, announcing it was pausing a long-delayed deployment of Kenyan police officers to tackle spiraling violence in Haiti.

Only 11 days ago, Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry and Kenyan President William Ruto signed an agreement that Ruto said would fast-track the deployment of the officers to the Caribbean nation.

The jarring turn of events leaves the future of the U.N.-backed, multinational mission for Haiti in serious doubt.

Kenya's decided this is not a good idea after all.

No, no. This time when we're sending the Marines to Haiti, it's for good reasons, and only a handful. :dumb:

e: Why the gently caress does the US Embassy in Canada have a platoon of Marine guards if they needed to send additional marines to Haiti? I realize photo ops and dress blues or whatever, but I'm confused about what the point is if the (evacuated?) US embassy in Haiti needed a fleet level asset deployed there?
