What’s the end goal here?
It’s an excellent question. Bukele ego flex is a possibility.
I’m torn because I think Bukele is trash, but I have no love for what the gangs have done to Haiti. Not that Port-au-Prince was shangri-la previously, but Haitian gangs are not freedom fighters of any kind and they gotta go.
It’s definitely a way to drum up support for bukele since he really has fixed a lot of the public facing issues at home.
But it’s not like he’s going to liberate Haiti and turn it over to the UN appointed government for them to give it right back to the gangs? I don’t see the exit strategy or what Haiti does to become a functional government again.
I agree. I don’t think Bukele has any interest at all in the betterment of Haiti. The best Haitians can maybe hope for from his intervention is a temporary degradation of gang power and reduced gang violence.
France broke it, those fuckers should fix it, but I’m not holding out any hope at all the reparations would ever be paid, and even if by some miracle they were, I imagine that corrupt officials would pocket a lot of it.
Haiti is a thousand problems without even a single solution. It’s so fucked up.
