THE former US special envoy to Haiti, Daniel Foote, has lashed out at what he calls “a complete meddling puppeteering move” by the US and its international allies to impose a political solution on strife-ridden Haiti, calling the plans “a waste of time.”
Speaking during an interview with BBC News Hour last week, Foote decried efforts by the US and Caribbean Community, an intergovernmental organisation referred to as Caricom, to effectively choose Haiti’s destiny by installing “a white-imposed leader of Haiti that the Haitians don’t want.”
Foote resigned his post in 2021, angered by the Biden administration’s ruthless deportation of 4,000 Haitians, many living in tents at the time, a continuation of a Trump-era policy that he called “inhumane.” Those deportations were embraced by unelected Haitian prime minister Ariel Henry who has since left the country and has now resigned. Foote also served as deputy chief in the US embassy in Port-au-Prince in 2011.
