The opposition gang up with the law to undermine the government with all means. The government choose to go ahead with its plans until law institution clear its house that is when it will be recognized
Something MUST be done!
If only you Haitians knew how we are so Open to export our President rather than our Officers. Ruto deserves a Nation like Haiti he would really thrive there. We are tired of him
America always looking for someone else to do the dirty work
The Kenyan forces will be meet with resistance
I am Haitian, and I thank that president is a mental slave when he tries to obey and keep Haiti in poor position to please his chief.
Traitor

I wonder who wants these Kenya police in Haiti … Kenyans benefit nothing …
This man called Ruto is in for a very loud awakening
Haiti will never change😢 I hope I'm wrong.
