The illegitimate regime of Ariel Henry that the Biden Administration placed in power is done for and is the only faction in Haiti that wants an intervention, for its own benefit, whereas the Haitian people do not want an international intervention because of the long history of them being egregiously harmed by the outside world. The only proper thing to do is let Haiti go through the difficult process of building a viable state on its own.
