Human Rights Watch has denounced the deportation of Haitians back to Haiti by the U.S. and other countries.
I have two memories of Haiti. The first was in 1993. I had led a United Nations delegation to Haiti to ascertain the consequences of the embargo imposed by the U.N. The embargo intended to put pressure on the military-installed regime to restore president Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power.
The second memory was when I went to assess the Pan American Health Organization’s collaboration efforts with the government regarding public health. I was visiting a hospital in Port-au-Prince with a colleague when, all of a sudden, she asked me, “Did you see that?” Regrettably, I had. She was referring to a dead child covered by a sheet, flies buzzing around the corpse, seemingly abandoned in a hospital hallway. For days afterwards that sight was a recurring nightmare for me.
The country is undergoing a serious political and constitutional crisis. Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who had been appointed by Moïse two days before his assassination, was found to have close links to a prime suspect in the assassination and to have maintained contact with him after the president’s assassination.
