UN Security Council visits Haiti on 4-day mission to assess mandate
By Associated Press, Updated: Monday, February 13, 7:59 PM

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The United Nations Security Council began a four-day mission in Haiti on Monday to review the terms of its mandate in the impoverished Caribbean country.

The 15-member delegation led by U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice plans to meet with senior Haitian officials, tour the future site of a job-generating industrial park and visit a police academy in the capital.

“We will see how the United Nations supports Haitian government institutions in security and governance,” Rice said as she read from a prepared statement. “We will examine economic development efforts and we will look at the ongoing humanitarian challenges.”

In its first mission since 2009, the delegation also aims to evaluate reconstruction efforts following the massive earthquake in 2010 that displaced more than a million people. It plans to see how it can help strengthen the national police force, which has a mere 8,000 officers in a country of 10 million.

The delegation will visit a treatment center for patients who have fallen ill to cholera. Now an epidemic, the disease has been a source of tension between Haitians and peacekeepers after several studies showed that a unit from Nepal, where the disease is endemic, likely brought the disease.

Haiti now has the highest cholera rate in the world and the disease has killed more than 7,000 people and sickened more than 526,000 others, according to Haitian officials.

Tensions have been further strained because of several abuse allegations involving peacekeepers. The cases are under investigation.

The U.N. set up the peacekeeping force in Haiti known by its French acronym Minustah in 2004 to provide stability following the overthrow of then-President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

President Michel Martelly hopes to replace the U.N. peacekeeping mission of 11,000 troops by restoring the national army, which was disbanded in 1995 because of its involvement in coups and history of abuse, and turning it into a “professional” force.

This is a step in the right direction.haiti is not the most violent and unstable country in the hemisphere.Why don't they send a United Nation force in Honduras also?The money they are spending for the MINUSTAH could accomplish more in education, health care, agriculture, environment ,control of the birth rate. industrial development in order for haiti to import less and export more.

It is time for the so called friends of haiti to reevaluate the mission of the MINUSTAH.What have these gendarmes accomplished in 7 years?Why waste money on a force that the haitians don't want in their country?President Obama should reevaluate the foreign policy of the United States toward haiti.Haitians will not tolerate the kind of help that the United States gave to the former dictators who did nothing to alleviate the sufferings of the haitian people.W,e haitian americans ,expect changes in the foreign policy of the United states toward haiti.The endorsement of the Clintons toward tet kale doesn't please the majority of the haitian people;let the haitians choose their leaders without any interference.Nobody knows what is best for the country than the haitians themeselves.

I am not defending any drug dealers,but it has been the policy of the United States to help those who want to overthrow the progrssive governments of haiti and to support the dictators.One doesn't have to be an economist to see the results of this policy despite the help provided by the United states to the country.Yes the haitian elite is the most repugnant of the world ,but the truth is the United States have always been an acomplice of the so called repugnant elite.Is it really the interests of the United States to protect the dictators and to overthrow the progressive governments in haiti?

I read between the lines, but I do not see any place where Obama made such assertion. Obama could have said it cloud and clear, right?

Alex mon fre, Jan evenman yo ap deroule la, nou kap predi ke disi 2014 MINUSTAH pap exziste anko. Pou plizye rezon legal ke nou konnen deja. Konportman devergonde de yon seri de solda nan troup sa yo vreman ambarasse peyi yo.

Kap gen yon lot prezans etranje an Ayiti ki melanje avek fos sekirite ayisyen an. An nou swiv eveman yo e evalye nan ki direksyon fos sa yo pran.

Susan Rice ak tout ekip l'ONU gen pou fe rapo yo e rekomandasyon yo pap favorab. Anpil moun ta souwete ke Obama pa gen yon 2ziem tou pake pou yo MINUSTAH pote anpil lajan($6 Billion Dolla nan 8 tan) e bay yo sekirite.
