Haiti needs international help more than ever
2021-07-18
Op-ed piece by two Haitian academics. Worth a read as it covers a lot of the background of the past 30 years to explain why Haiti continues to be a failed country.

#4  Yhe US ruling class defines 'democracy' as our guys in charge as opposed to anybody else. Doesn't matter what is done, as long as they get to give the orders.

#3  Remember when the American ruling class was selling spreading 'democracy' in the world, at the same time they were engineering its destruction at home. True representative government is a rare thing throughout history. It doesn't naturally spring forth in the temporary absence of other governing rituals.

#2  Focus now on 'free stuff' is it? What happened to the investigation of the assassination? Media, Deep State Department, Bueller, anyone ?

#1  elected in the first round of the November 2016 presidential elections, Moïse only garnered 590,927 votes, about 10 per cent of the electorate

Easy enough.
80% of the population didn't believe in/participate in/care for/understand, a popular vote solution. Or were starved of their motivation.
