"Challenges and Resilience: The Biden Administration's Dilemma in Haiti"

Haiti is in the midst of a severe political and humanitarian crisis, with armed gangs wreaking havoc, widespread hunger, and a leadership vacuum following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. The United States, which has a history of intervening in Haiti, is now working with Haitian and neighboring leaders to establish a transitional presidential council to pave the way for elections. However, critics question the level of Haitian input in the agreement and express concerns about the council's reliance on political and business elites. The challenges ahead are immense, with the country's democratic institutions hollowed out and gang violence rampant.
