The Americas Chaos In Haiti

Honestly?

I think Haiti should be left alone for a few decades and left to solve its own problems, not quarantined, just left alone. Even includes if a gang or warlord became the sovereign. Barring said warlord isn't Pol Pot levels of terrible.

That way the country can actually have an opportunity to slowly evolve stable powers structures. Instead of constantly being stirred and prodded.
that might be the best solution.

Which is why the US establishment will NEVER let it happen.

Why would French have to do anything about Haiti? Both countries are very clear on not wanting to have anything to do with each other for the last 200 years.
Kenyans noped the fuck out of there, this situation is too messed up for them and they are bordering Somalia, Ethiopia and Uganda.

Perhaps if the French had returned Toussaint Louverture's body to Haiti, the island's voodoo-curse could not have taken such terrible hold.

They apparently are physically incapable of returning the remains because they don't know where they are? I haven't investigated much, wikipedia claims (uncited) that France apparently returned a shovelful of dirt from the Fort where he died in prison as a symbolic thing and presumably that's because they don't know where the body is. A random internet-goer claiming to translate old French documents I saw claims the remains were tossed into a cave that was used for prisoners and soldiers and not marked, and then *that* was dug up and discarded in renovation-work in the late 1800s...No idea how reliable that is, though.

But, then, considering the number of British, French, Spaniards, slaves and indians dead just through 1802, the island's curse probably had enough fuel to get going without Louverture's spirit adding any haunted bonus points.

And now we've got gang-leader/warlord Barbecue.

If we go into situation as usual Latin America will decry us as being piggish imperialist and Africans and African Americans will call us racist, just let the country sort out its own problems and ensure China and Russia don't decide to put a military presence there.

Haiti will never be able to stand on its own if it doesn't learn the mistakes of its own leadership choosing skill and suffer their consequences.
