The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
With the establishment of the Gang Suppression Force — the international community is finally acting to help Haiti fight criminal groups that have pushed the country to the brink of a complete collapse into chaos, even threatening regional stability. This resolution marks a decisive turning point for Haiti's future, providing a framework to restore order, protect innocent lives and support the country's democratic path forward.
Establishment-critical narrative
Foreign powers have repeatedly failed Haiti, never breaking the country's cycle of violence and instability — and this new force is another likely failure, as there is no guaranteed funding or clear deployment timeline. As long as they keep installing puppet regimes while dismantling state institutions and flooding the country with nongovernmental organizations that benefit foreign interests rather than Haitians, there will be no real solutions for the country.
