OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants European nations to join Canada in sanctioning Haiti's elites over alleged ties to the violent gangs paralyzing that country.
Instability in the country has allowed violent, feuding gangs to take control of critical infrastructure and the capital of Port-au-Prince.Henry's government has asked for a foreign military intervention to create a humanitarian corridor, a move endorsed by the United Nations Secretary-General. United States officials namechecked Canada as a possible lead for such a mission earlier this year.
"We haven't taken anything off the table, but with 30 years of experience in Haiti, we know very well that there are enormous challenges when it comes to any intervention," he said in French.A way forward would involve not only a consensus among Haiti's political players, but also buy-in from Caribbean neighbours and even parts of South America, so that whatever takes place isn't seen as the West yet again meddling in Haiti.
