Situasjonen i Haiti går fra vondt til verre, og en halv million haitianere må nå forlate USA og vende tilbake til et land i kaos etter at president Trump opphevet beskyttelsen de har hatt i USA. Carnegie inviterer 17.juli (kl.11 EST/17 Norge) til en diskusjon rundt USAs interesser i Haiti versus befolkningens ønsker og behov.

 

Since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021, Haiti has been engulfed in crisis, with well-armed criminal gangs and Haitian Security Forces battling for control of the capital Port-Au-Prince. President Trump recently classified some Haitian criminal gangs as foreign terrorist organizations, paving the way for lethal military action to restore stability.  The administration has also announced plans to end deportation protection for roughly 500,000 Haitians residing in the United States, putting them at risk of violence if they return to Haiti.

These developments raise urgent questions: What are U.S. interests in Haiti and how might these interests translate into concrete policy objectives? How do these interests interact with the aspirations of the Haitian people and to what extent are they in conflict or compatible? And are measures like terrorist designations and support for mercenaries viable, or wise, strategies for restoring order?
