The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

Foreign powers are to blame for the ongoing crisis in Haiti - criminal gangs are in cahoots with the US-puppet, illegitimate regime with the aim of provoking chaos and prompting another imperialist intervention. Haitians are fed up with foreign occupations and must be allowed to find a concrete solution for themselves as a sovereign people.

Pro-establishment narrative

The situation in Haiti is worse now than ever before, with gang-related violence affecting even the nation's ability to sustain normal activities. The only way to prevent the country from soon becoming a failed state is to suspend its national sovereignty and put the nation under the custody of international governance on behalf of the UN.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 64% chance that Haiti won't become a World Bank upper middle-income country before 2050, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
