The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Delayed for months due to political turmoil in Haiti, the initial MSS deployment only arrived in the country in June — but has since had intermittent progress despite funding challenges. Turning the mission into a traditional UN peacekeeping operation means that there would be adequate funding to address gang violence in Haiti.

Carnegie Endowment

Establishment-critical narrative

None of the US-sponsored interventions in Haiti have been particularly successful, including the about-to-expire MSS mission. It's inconceivable that in the face of yet another failure, it can be argued that Haiti needs further occupation — and that's exactly what Washington is pushing for. Only Haitians can come up with real solutions for their own plight.
