Minustha, should it stay, or should it go?

UN TROOPS MUST BE REPLACED BY CREOLE AND FRENCH-SPEAKING POLICE OFFICERS
MINUSTAH conduct illegal search and seizure seeking non-existing weapons without a search warrant. Hundreds of innocent civilians have lost their lives during these deadly operations.
Article 143 of the Haitian constitution empowers the president to be in charge of the army in Haiti, therefore we demand that the government acts swiftly and take charge of those forces operating in Haiti.
MINUSTAHS's presence in Haiti is depriving the Haitian government of much needed funds to meet these demands. "If MINUSTAH remains in Haiti, it must be a civil mission to assist the Haitian government at building roads, catastrophe preparedness, energy enhancement, communications, government technology and health related preparedness.
We urge the Haitian government and the United Nations to set up a long-term fund in order to provide care for the victims and their families by MINUSTHA's operation, including psychological treatment. Moreover, we ask that the UN troops be held accountable for their crimes and the perpetrators should be punished according to Haitian laws.
If these minimal changes are not done, MINUSTHA must leave Haiti by October 2007. The $500 million annual budget for MINUSTHA should be reallocated to funding needed projects in Haiti. Once and for all, Haiti can have the funds necessary to sprint into the 21st century.
Given these facts on the ground in Haiti, If things are not changed for the better, Minustha should go.

The constitution should absolutely be revise but at the same how can you revise something that’s not being follow. I don’t believe our government is following the constitution at all because look at what minustahs are doing. The Minustahs have complete immunity to do whatever they want, so if they want to kill or arrest someone nothing will happen to them. The agreement that was signed between Gerard Latortue and the UN give complete immunity to the minustahs. It’s up to the Preval administrative to amend the agreement so the Minustahs can face charges for their crime.
I do agree with you the constitution should be revise but it doesn’t make any since to revise it if it’s not being follow.

Right on brother. I believe that we need to mobilize so that Minustha can change their tactics in Haiti. If they are not contributing positively to the country, they need to go. In addition, we do not need any army force in Haiti, the problems we have can be solve by a solid police force. We need to put these guys to work, otherwise, they need to go.

When the Secretary General of the UN was visiting Haiti he made this remark to our president:"Mr. president, you have been able to put together a broad-base government, a government that is determined to tackle the problems of the country in partnership with the international community. But you have taken the ownership and the lead. It is your program that we are here to support - we do not have our own program. We are here in support of what you want to achieve- you and the people of Haiti". Préval's government has welcomed MINUSTAH to stay in Haiti indefinitely, claiming that the 5,300 Haitian police force cannot maintain order in Haiti in the mid time, many Haitians respond that MINUSTAH only creates instability and enforces injustice.
I think that we need to start pointing at our own government and demanding some answers?

Whenever a country have a stabilize army in their country usually mean that country is under control of that army. The minustahs believe it or not have more control in Haiti than the Preval Government. I agree with Jacob if the Minustahs going to stay in Haiti they need to be put to work and the immunity that was given to them by the Gerard Latorture administrative need to be revised. I don’t believe Preval Administrative has it in them to stand up to the UN. Brazil sold purpose in Haiti is to get a permanente seat in the UN, they don’t care about how many Haitian die or live. The Minusthas have complete immunity so if you against them they get ride of you.

I know the reason why so many haitians want that minustha go,cause the police force we have in haiti is coorupted, with the UN troop there will be least kidnapinp there won't be able to fonction.if the UN troop goes Haiti will return it was before the departure of Aristide,the minustha must stay in Haiti until we have a police force aducated. htey don't even know for what reason they carry a gun.the 31 december 2008,i was so an angry to see how an agent of police mistreated a young man some bodu says it because the man was talking to a his wife.i think that the natinal police is not ready to to give tha securitu in Haiti.

I suppose those believers among us, whichever religion they believe in and whichever God they worship, we all go back to the justification that God has his reasons. I still question both God’s will and the fate of these poor people, a whole battalion of human lives, on why they were chosen to a suffering which they all never anticipated. No holy books or scriptures can explain why the country was chosen to be devastated.
