It appears the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti will come to an end soon, sooner than it was expected after Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election to Trump. Apparently, the US gov notified the UN that ( a) Haiti does not need peacekeepers and (b) there is no point in wasting money on unnecessary UN programs and/or projects.
Consequently, the UN Secretary General has recommended that the United Nations Security Council terminates Haiti peacekeeping mission with immediate effect. If the UN Security Council approves the Secretary General’s recommendation, Haiti will soon be free from what many people of Haiti call foreign occupation.
The UN took over responsibility to “reconstruct” Haiti at the time Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State. The US gov , through the State Department, was the major sponsor for Haiti reconstruction program. President Bill Clinton was made the leader of UN/US Haiti “reconstruction”! Bill Clinton is often accused of embezzling most of the money that had been set aside for Haiti reconstruction projects. Bill Clinton is accused of having given out to his friends most of the contracts to offer services in Haiti. The contracts Bill Clinton allegedly gave to his buddies include mining concessions, as part of ” reconstructing” Haiti. Kagame of Rwanda, Bill Clinton’s business partner, secured a contract to supply foods and some beverages to peacekeepers in Haiti. Kagame also acquired a contract to provide peacekeepers to Haiti.
If the UNSC approves the UN Secretary General’s recommendation – to withdrawal peacekeepers from Haiti – Kagame junta will lose millions of dollars the junta has been making from Haiti deals. That’s not good news for Kagame junta that needs foreign currency so badly.
