Haiti Is Collapsing: Interior Ministry Set on Fire, Presidential Palace Attacked - PM Henry Faces Mounting Internal and External Pressure To Resign

Haiti forces are frequently overpowered by rebels.

The present situation in Haiti defies our capacity for hyperbole. After more than a week of widespread violence and chaos, the country is politically adrift as Prime Minster Ariel Henry can’t even return to the country, and faces both internal and international pressure to resign.

MSM headlines try to describe it by saying that Haiti ‘may fall at any time,’ is ‘on the brink,’ ‘spiraling into chaos,’ and further pointing out that ‘a major humanitarian crisis is unfolding.’

The heavily armed men who control the capital Port-au-Prince and are about to overthrow the government are still described as ‘gang members,’ but, by now, they have all but morphed into a rebel force posing as an alternative to the government.

Calls for some kind of foreign force to intervene in Haiti are multiplying, but by now, there is apparently no possibility of ‘peace-keeping’ – whoever goes in will have to wrestle control by force.

At this point, the seemingly inevitable outcome is for PM Henry to be deposed. But then what?

The Interior Ministry was set ablaze overnight, and multiple police stations and government offices were attacked in the capital.

Bloomberg reported:

“Local media reported intense fighting in downtown Port-au-Prince, as more than a week of violence aimed at toppling the government of Prime Minister Ariel Henry reached a new peak.”

Caribbean Community Caricom Chairman Mohamed Irfaan Ali:

“We are acutely aware of the urgent need for consensus. We have impressed on the respective parties that time is not on their side in agreeing to the way forward. From our reports, the situation on the ground remains dire, and is of serious concern to us.”

Meanwhile, the political leader who should be heading the effort against the gang rebels can’t even return to the country.

“[Prime Minister] Henry, who left Haiti on Feb. 25 to build support for a multinational security force led by Kenya, has been unable to return to the country, as gangs have attacked the capital and closed the main airport. The Biden administration has called on Henry to support a transition of power.”

Last we heard from Henry, he was in Puerto Rico facing growing pressure — both domestically and from abroad — to resign and make way for a transitional government.

The armed gang rebels launched a large-scale assault against multiple government buildings.

ABC News reported:

“The attack was coordinated and swift, with different groups simultaneously targeting multiple government buildings including the Presidential Palace, the Interior Ministry, and a police headquarters for Haiti’s western district which includes Port-au-Prince.”

Intense gunfire and heard large explosions were heard.

“Preliminary numbers indicate around a dozen gang fighters were killed, though cautioned the figure was not fully confirmed. No police casualties have yet been reported.”

Haiti is collapsing as we speak:

• Interior Ministry on fire
• Attacks on the international airport
• Gunfights outside the Presidential Palace
• Attempted breaches of the Ministry of Education and Supreme Court

Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry is struggling to stay in power as he tries to return home, where gang attacks have shuttered the country’s main international airport and freed more than 4,000 inmates in recent days.

As of midday Wednesday, Henry remained in Puerto Rico, where he landed the day before after he was barred from landing in neighboring Dominican Republic because officials there closed the airspace to flights to and from Haiti.

Locked out of his country for now, Henry appears to face an impasse as a growing number of officials call for his resignation or nudge him toward it.

Here’s what to know about the embattled prime minister and the crisis he faces:

WHO IS ARIEL HENRY?​

The 74-year-old neurosurgeon who trained and worked in southern France got involved in Haitian politics in the early 2000s, when he became leader of a movement that opposed then-President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

After Aristide was ousted, Henry became member of a U.S.-backed council that helped choose the transitional government.

In June 2006, he was named director-general of Haiti’s Ministry of Health and later became its chief of staff, helping to manage the government’s response to a devastating 2010 earthquake.

In 2015, he was named minister of the interior and territorial communities and became responsible for overseeing Haiti’s security and domestic policy.

Months later, he was appointed minister of social affairs and labor but faced calls for resignation after he quit the Inite party.



He then largely disappeared from the limelight, serving as a political consultant and working as a professor at Haiti’s medical university until he was installed as prime minister shortly after the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, who had selected him for that position.

Moïse’s party likely thought Henry would bring credibility and some kind of constituency, said Brian Concannon, executive director of the U.S.-based nonprofit Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti.

“It seems to me he must have been a pretty big figure. Presidents don’t just pick random people,” he said.

WHY ARE PEOPLE DEMANDING THAT HENRY RESIGN?​

Henry has faced calls for resignation ever since he was sworn in as prime minister with the backing of the international community.

Those demanding that he step down include gangs vying for political power and Haitians angry that general elections have not been held in nearly a decade. They also note that Henry was never elected and does not represent the people.

Concannon noted that Henry has served the longest single term of any Haitian prime minister since the country’s 1987 constitution was established.

“He was not appointed through any recognized Haitian procedure,” Concannon said. “He was basically installed by the Core Group.”

The Core Group, established by a U.N. resolution, comprises diplomats from Germany, Brazil, Canada, Spain, the U.S., France, the E.U. and representatives from the United Nations and the Organization of American States. The group issued a statement shortly after Moïse’s assassination essentially declaring Henry as Haiti’s new leader, replacing Claude Joseph, who was prime minister at the time.

Henry has repeatedly said he seeks unity and dialogue and has noted that elections cannot be held until it’s safe to do so.

In February 2023, he formally appointed a transition council responsible for ensuring that general elections are held, calling it a “significant step” toward that goal.

But elections have been repeatedly delayed as gang-related killings and kidnappings surge across the country. Last year, more than 8,400 people were reported killed, injured or kidnapped, more than double the number reported in 2022.

WHY IS THE PRIME MINISTER NOT IN HAITI?​

Henry left Haiti last month to attend a four-day summit in the South American country of Guyana organized by a regional trade bloc known as Caricom. That’s where Haiti’s worsening crisis was discussed behind closed doors.

While Henry did not speak to the media, Caribbean leaders said that he promised to hold elections in mid-2025. A day later, coordinated gang attacks began in Haiti’s capital and beyond.

Henry then departed Guyana for Kenya last week to meet with President William Ruto and to push for the U.N.-backed deployment of a Kenyan police force, which a court in the East African country ruled was unconstitutional.

Officials never said when Henry was due back in Haiti following the trip to Kenya, and his whereabouts were unknown for several days until he unexpectedly landed Tuesday in Puerto Rico to the surprise of many.

He was originally scheduled to land in the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, but the government closed its airspace and said Henry’s plane did not have the required flight plan.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW?​

Caribbean leaders spoke to Henry late Tuesday and presented him with several options, including resigning, which he rejected, according to a regional official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to share details of the call.

Meanwhile, the prime minister of Grenada said Henry told officials that his plan is to return to Haiti.

The U.N. Security Council planned to hold an emergency meeting later Wednesday to talk about Haiti and the troubles Henry faces.

Ahead of that meeting, U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the U.S. and its partners are asking Henry to make concessions.

“So we are not calling on him or pushing him to resign, but we are urging him to expedite the transition to an empowered and inclusive governance structure” Miller said.

US mulls deploying Marine security team to Haiti amid gang crisis

US mulls deploying Marine security team to Haiti amid gang crisis​

4–5 minutes


Correction Friday 9:45 a.m. ET: This story was corrected on Friday to note that the fleet has not actually deployed to Haiti. The defense official said on Friday he had misunderstood their status and had been discussing what were actually contingency operations.

The United States is considering deploying an elite Marine security team to Haiti because of a deteriorating security situation there, according to a defense official.

The Marines would be deployed at the request of the State Department, according to the defense official. Marine Corps Times asked the State Department for further details Thursday and didn’t receive a response.

“Deploying a FAST platoon is one option at the DoD’s disposal should the DoS request assistance with security at the U.S. Embassy in Port Au Prince,” Maj. Mason Englehart, a spokesman for Marine Corps Forces South, wrote in an email to Marine Corps Times on Friday.

Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry is struggling to stay in power as he tries to return home, where gang attacks have shuttered his country’s main international airport and freed more than 4,000 inmates in recent days.

Henry remained in Puerto Rico as of midday Wednesday. He landed in the U.S. territory on Tuesday after he was barred from landing in the neighboring Dominican Republic, where officials closed the airspace to flights to and from Haiti.

In 2023, more than 8,400 people in Haiti were reported killed, injured or kidnapped, more than double the number reported in 2022. The U.N. estimates that nearly half of Haiti’s 11 million people need humanitarian assistance, but the 2024 humanitarian appeal for $674 million has received just $17 million — about 2.5% of what’s needed.

On Wednesday, the U.S. embassy in Haiti urged Americans in the country to depart as soon as possible and said it would be on limited operations Thursday.

“Embassy operations may be further affected during the week because of gang-related violence and its effects on transportation and infrastructure,” the embassy said in the security alert.

The Corps’ fleet antiterrorism security teams, often known as FAST, are deployed around the world for limited periods of time to reinforce or recapture U.S. assets.

FAST Marines receive specialized training on noncombatant evacuation operations, close-quarters battle, military operations in urban terrain, convoy operations, shipboard operations and specialized security operations, according to a page on the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service.

The teams are part of the Yorktown, Virginia-based Marine Corps Security Force Regiment.

In 2019, fleet antiterrorism security team Marines embarked a U.S. merchant vessel to provide security as it transited the Strait of Hormuz, located between Oman and Iran.

In 2010, after a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, they were sent to assist the Marine security guards who already had been guarding the U.S. embassy in the capital Port-au-Prince.

At a press conference Wednesday, Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, denied that the United States was considering sending U.S. forces to Haiti.

Jean-Pierre said noted that Kenya had agreed to send police officers on a security mission to Haiti.
“So, that was recently signed, and that’s going to move forward,” she said. “But there is no plan to bring U.S. forces into Haiti.”

In 2021, President Joe Biden sent Marines from the Marine Security Guard Security Augmentation Unit to the Port-Au-Prince embassy “out of an abundance of caution” following the assassination of the Haitian president but insisted sending U.S. forces to stabilize the country was “not on the agenda.”

Haiti Government Collapse

“We have every reason to be mad - The Clintons have destroyed Haiti”

“They pretend to be our friends but in reality they are our #1 enemy”

The US Military have just evacuated non essential personal for the Haiti US Embassy following Government collapse & Gangs taking over the Streets.

The Clinton Foundation has received millions to allegedly support Haiti - however their involvement in Haiti is clearly not appreciated & again linked to some extremely sinister disturbing stories involving young children.

Interestingly, when I first saw this thread this morning, it was immediately above the following thread:

"Kathy Hochul Defends Sending National Guard into NYC Subways, Says Move Was Made To Address 'High Level Of Anxiety"

Third World problems are more or less universal and are not necessarily dependent on geography. The root of New York's plague of criminality is similar to that which afflicts Haiti: low IQ African genetics and an inability to control the emotional, impulsive motivations of the baser instincts.

New York, much like Detroit, Chicago and many other major US metropolitan entities were once considered to be magnificent and safe cities when their demographics were overwhelmingly, racially European. Similarly, the city of my birth, New Orleans, LA, was much safer many decades ago when the administration and police department was racially European.

Needless to say, such observations are taboo and politically incorrect - no matter how true they may be - and any efforts to reign in the problems of urban crime and decay are doomed to failure unless they are taken into account.
