Haiti’s crisis has been decades in the making, shaped by political instability, devastating earthquakes and now overwhelming gang violence that has displaced over a million people and left more than half the population food insecure. Past interventions like the UN’s MINUSTAH mission brought real help but couldn’t stop the cycle, proving that security forces alone won’t fix what’s broken. What Haiti actually needs is rebuilding: functioning roads, courts, water systems, and disaster readiness, all led by Haitians themselves rather than dictated from outside, so the country can finally break the pattern of crisis after crisis.
