The CPT Under the Wings of BINUH!

The Haitian Presidential Transitional Council continues to prepare for the illegal occupation by meeting with the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH).

Originally published in Haiti Liberte.

On Thursday, May 16, 2024, the members of the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT) had their first baptism of fire, not to say their first meeting with Maria Isabel Salvador, the head of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) and Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Haiti.

Ironically, it was not BINUH who called the meeting, it was the subordinates who found it necessary to request this meeting from their hierarchical boss, the representative of the Metropolis.

In fact, it was only an orientation work session for the advisors, so that they are clear about their real role and so that they are reassured that BINUH will not leave them alone on this path.

Maria Isabel Salvador really appreciated these new lackeys. She did not fail to remind them that the organization she leads will always be present at their side as it was with Prime Minister Ariel Henry. BINUH will assist the Council in the manner of a crisis manager, that is to say it will consist of helping you to overcome the chaos in which your country is plunged. And this is an integral part of BINUH's commitment to implementing its mandate in support of national authorities.

Like your predecessors, you can count on us. As part of the United Nations Security Council resolution which authorized the deployment of a Multinational Security Support Mission (MMSS) in Haiti, everything is ready for the troops to arrive in order to strengthen the capacities of the forces of Haitian security, to stabilize the situation and to create an environment conducive to democratic elections and national reconstruction.

Satisfied and proud of this great first, the Council reported on X: â€œImportant working session this Thursday between the Presidential Transitional Council and the Head of BINUH in Haiti, Maria Isabel Salvador. On the agenda of the discussions, Resolution 2699 of the United Nations Security Council authorizing the deployment of the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti ,” he said.

It is obvious that this meeting was only a prelude to preparing for the reception of the Kenyan soldiers in order to plan their upcoming arrival. First, a first group of 50 police officers is already in the country to assess the situation on the ground. On Monday, May 20, 2024, this high-level Kenyan delegation, including the Commander of the Multinational Security Support Mission (MMSS), arrived in Port-au-Prince by a Sunrise Airways flight from Miami where members of the delegation were in transit.

This group will then be followed by 200 police officers during this week. Laura Richardson, General of the Southern Command of the US Army, confirmed that the deployment of Kenyan police officers to Haiti will be done in a few days, on Thursday, May 23, 2024.

The new United States ambassador to Haiti, Dennis Bruce Hankins, for his part, operates in a conquered country, because he has not presented his credentials to any presidential body. And that does not bother the submissives of the 9-member Transitional Colonial Presidential Council. Hankins assures that efforts are being made towards the completion of construction work on the first base of the planned occupation force.

To reinforce it, Richardson revealed that â€œthe process of securing the airport is complete. It was a crucial step for the deployment of troops” She promised to do everything to ensure that this deployment was, this time, a success. â€œWe must be able to receive food, medicine and other materials with a view to transporting them to other departments,” she declared.

The Haitian people must take note, it is clear that it is the United States which is responsible for all the logistical and financial operations of this non-UN military force and the deputy spokesperson for the Kenyan Government, Mwanaisha Chidzuga, crowned it all when she confirmed the hiring of Kenya by the Americans, indicating: â€œWe have been called to restore peace in Haiti, and it is not free. Kenya will receive money from this operation which will be used to develop our country.”
