In response to Haiti’s call for help, the UN Security Council authorised a Multinational Security Support Mission (UN Security Council Resolution 2699, 2 Oct 2023) to support the Haitian National Police re-establish security in Haiti and build security conditions to allow free and fair elections. The cost of the Mission is to be borne by voluntary contributions from individual Member States and regional organizations.

The US has committed US$200M but no troops. Only five countries have committed troops and Barbados is one of them. Barbados has reportedly committed 600 Barbados Defence Force (BDF) soldiers. The Bahamas reportedly offered 150. Benin is sending the most soldiers at 1,500, so our 600 is a respectable amount.

WAR PREPARATIONS.

The BDF is reportedly preparing for the mission by using the knowledge gained by officers on a previous mission in 1994. “We are making the best use of those individuals to be able to pass on some of the knowledge, some of the information and some of the cultural nuances with respect to the Haitian people and what to expect when our troops arrive in Haiti.” (Military Advisor to the BDF Chief of Staff, Lieutenant Colonel Carlos Lovell)

We need to support our troops at this time. This is not some harmless fun-filled expedition, but a place where death is likely. The troops from Benin, Chad and Bangladesh will look to the BDF for leadership, since this is our region – but the BDF is not battle-hardened. Our soldiers will have to confront a reported 200 gangs and 4,000 escaped prisoners in a country that is different from other Caribbean countries they are used to. Therefore, the BDF needs all the help it can get.

INTELLIGENCE.

According to Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, a critical component of war is intelligence. Therefore, the BDF is on the right preparation-path. However, in addition to the 1994 dated intelligence, the BDF should use other resources to get more up-to-date intelligence.

There are several people who have worked in Haiti, including on the ground among communities in the capital where our soldiers are being sent to fight. The BDF should consider inviting such persons to brief them on more recent developments. Our 600 soldiers need to be prepared for what they are getting into.

I have been deployed to Haiti over 12 times since 2010, with most of them in Port au Prince where the gangs currently operate. On some deployments I had a contingent of soldiers providing security. But for many, I had no security but God. I heard people beg for their lives while they were mercilessly beaten and killed – Haiti is an easy place to die.

    Let’s hope that this is not a training exercise for the BDF. Does someone know something about local conditions developing in a way that would cause our boys and girls to be immersed in a live fire training programme under the pretext of helping Haiti? What legal coverage will they have should a Haitian be shot and killed? What coverage will the families of our boys and girls have in the event that one of them is wounded or heaven forbid, killed? Will Barbados have 600 PTSD zombies walking the streets sometime in the future as a result of the atrocities of a civil war in Haiti?

    The mission statement of Haiti’s intervention need to be clearly spelled out.

    It appears to be a policing peacekeeping effort, but eliminating gangs seem to be a big ask and a bridge too far as it is a never ending battle.

    When you remove a gang another one steps up into it’s place.

    World Leaders send the poorest youths off to war to die for their country or fighting wars for peace.

    Wars are money making scams for the Military Industrial Complex who sell weapons of mass destruction to each and everyone on all sides.

    Groundation, The Mystic Revelation of Rstafari
    When Mussolini invaded Ethiopia in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, also referred to as the Second Italo-Abyssinian War, Haile Selassie I said the following prophecy about the second world war in a speech the League of Nations.

    “You struck the match in Africa but Europe will burn, it is us today, but it will be you tomorrow “

    Haile Selassie I
    ቀዳማዊ ኀይለ ሥላሴ, Qädamawi Haylä Səllasé, born Lij Tafari Makonnen

    Jah Ras Tafari
    Rastas accord key importance to Haile Selassie I, emperor of Ethiopia between 1930 and 1974; many regard him as the Second Coming of Jesus and Jah incarnate.

    “Jah” means “God”, as in Yahweh.
    “Ras” means “prince”.
    “Tafari” means “the respected one”.

    Tafari was crowned Negusa Nagast, literally King of Kings,

    Mia’s speech which Hants posted on the Mottleys Next Move thread about Wars contained reference to the Rastas Third World Try Jah Love with reggae lyrics written by Stevie Wonder, which is a bit too reggae and poppy for my liking, but I was impressed with her reference to Jah Ras Tafari.

    This is stupid for my comrades are not skilled in urban warfare and this is not a drill. Barbecue will use the hit and run tactics and I fear these 22 year sold innocent boys will return in body bags. The issue of language, terrain, water safety, transportation, ammunition, communications, food etc are real logistical challenges.

    HOW WILL THEY LAND IN HAITI AND WILL MIA AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF BE UP FRONT LEADING THE TROOPS?

    Recent historical examples of city attacks in limited warfare where an attacking force attempted to kill the defenders or seize the city include:

    Hue, Vietnam: January 31 1968 to March 3, 1968
    Vukovar, Croatia: August 25, 1991 to November 18, 1991
    Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina: April 5, 1992 to 29 February 29, 1996
    Grozny, Chechnya: December 31, 1994 to February 8, 1995
    Grozny, Chechnya: December 25, 1999 to February 6, 2000
    Fallujah, Iraq: April 4, 2004 to May 1, 2004
    Fallujah, Iraq: November 7, 2004 to December 23, 2004

    All military operations contain risk and there are many types of risks incurred in warfare. Tactical risks, for instance, relate to the possibility of injury or death of soldiers or failure to accomplish the mission. Accidental risks include such things as the potential for the deaths of civilians or destruction of critical urban infrastructure. There are also broader risks in military operations, like the risk of losing the political will (be it domestic, regional, or international) to continue the pursuit of the military objective of liberating a city from enemy forces. Urban environments compound risks unlike any other due to the complexity of the physical terrain, the presence of civilians, and the ecosystems of political, economic, and social networks that define urban areas.

    Urban warfare is also the most difficult form of warfare. And while a city attack may not be the most difficult type of urban operation—a counterinsurgency involving separating a few enemy personnel from among millions of people while maintaining a military’s legitimacy could be considered more difficult—it is one of the riskiest missions a nation can attempt. There are disproportionate levels of political, tactical, and accidental risk in attempting to liberate a city from a defending force.

    Moreover, the US military does not have a guidebook for attacking a defended city. There are only a few mentions of it in doctrine. One of the few examples—US Army Field Manual 3-90-2, Reconnaissance, Security, and Tactical Enabling Tasks, Volume 2—contains five pages on large-scale offensive encirclement operations, yet this has historically been just one major component of setting the conditions for a city attack.

    YOU CANNOT BOMB COMMONSENSE INTO A HUMAN OR USE FORCE TO CHANGE AN IDEAOLOGY. The above submission by the ex nco is interesting and the PM seems to have selfishly decided her geopolitical standing push trumps the slaughter of a few BDF soldiers in Haiti. If one soldier dies Bajans can expect social chaos against the BLP government on the streets.

    Our PM is taking this punching about our belt too far. Are those 600 BDF soldiers, the entire BDF as I had no idea we had this many active/reserve soldiers?

    1. How are these soldiers going to be paid and by whom?
    2. Being such a small country, why are we sending so many when other larger, closer countries are sending far fewer? Even the US got sense enough to officially not send any troops when Haiti right in their backyard.

    The only duty of this contingent should be securing the airports and seaports. Haitians are the only ones who can solve this and they can only do it without any outside intervention. Outside intervention will only make matters worse and kill BDF soldiers for nothing.

    The announced number from the BDF is 150 for a police operation lead by Kenya. When was the 600 number announced. Yes it is preferable to have peace in Haiti and the resignation of an unelected Prime Minister who has not delivered elections in a reasonable time is the first step in the right direction. But who can state unequivocally that the next elected Government in Haiti will bring peace and stability. NO ONE. In the meantime, how do you establish an environment that is conducive to free and fair elections without some help and a Police operation. I have not seen any expression of sympathy here for the families of those Haitians slaughtered by their own countrymen. In my recollection the last time we saw similar slaughter and the descent into power hungry, homicidal thuggery was Grenada 1983. Think how different Grenada would be today without the clear eyed view of the Caribbean as a zone of peace as lead by Eugenia Charles and Tom Adams. Sometimes our resources are not enough to get the job done. The Haitian civil society should be active and participatory in laying the groundwork for new elections. If they fail to do so, when Caricom and Prime minister Mottley withdraw our help, they must not be blamed. In the meantime it is our national duty to support the BDF in their mission. Those who try to undermine their commitment at a time like this are being treasonous.

    You are mistaken, our soldiers did not signup for this. The name Barbados Defense Force says it all otherwise they would be called The Barbados Army.

    They ONLY signed up for major disaster relief efforts and defending Barbados from internal and external threats, not get roped into fighting and dying for someone else’s agenda in another country’s civil war.

    Jamaica, Bahamas and DR know the true situation and rightly defending their borders. We are the only idiots rushing forward like we have some brilliant solution to fix Haiti.

    Why on earth would a group of islanders whom were unable to gain their independence from their masters become so emboldened as to have the arrogance to send their troops to an honourable neighbouring island whose ancestors remain the only island within that hemisphere to defeat their masters. Not once, but four times!

    Haitians have a historical noblest which puts to shame their neighbours. Egged on by the warmongering USA these insignificant small Caribbean islands appear willing to prosecute a war against their own people.

    Haiti has always been a dirt poor nation. Thanks to Uncle Sam and France political meddling. Sadly, we know that Haitians leaders have always been corrupt.

    Caricom over the decades has always had the capacity to assist at every level the development of Haiti. As I have already said, Haiti has always been an impoverished country. Just as some would say that the Caribbean is not a very wealthy region. However, if one were to compare the rest of the Caribbean to Haiti, I would say that the economy of Haiti is the equivalent of today’s broken Palestine whilst the rest of the Caribbean’s economy is equivalent to that of Qatar’s.

    Caricom could have played a major role in assisting the development of Haiti. It chose not to. It turned a blind eye to Haiti and Haitians who were working in slave conditions in the neighbouring racist Dominican Republic. Haitians have always been viewed as too black and too African in their customs and culture to be accepted in the mainstream by a Caribbean obsessed by class and colourism.

    Mark my words. The government is sending out our boys to the equivalent of a meat grinding factory. They will be cut down by the machete or the barrel of a gun. Their remains will be returned to Barbados in anonymous body bags. The funeral parlours will see a tremendous growth in trade!

    Barbados does not have a real army. You can not build an army whose main constituents are plastic. Who will protect Barbados once their troops are fully engaged in Haiti?

    My message to mam is quite simple. Engage and assist Haiti to develop. Allow Haitians into the country to at least work in our fields in order for us to grow our own food. Do not be blinded by those white devils who have encouraged you to send troops to Haiti to wage war against your own black people. Find a Caribbean solution whilst fully engaging with Haitians. Please keep out those white devils from our region.

    @David, DOES THE PM HAVE AUTHORITY TO DEPLOY BDF WITHOUT PARLIAMENTARY APPROVAL?

    “The Barbados Defence Act (1979) created a body of Her Majesty’s forces to be known as the Barbados Defence Force consisting of a regular Force; a reserve Force to be known as the Barbados Defence Force Reserve; and a Cadet Force.

    The Force is structured as follows:

    Headquarters Barbados Defence Force
    The Barbados Regiment, the land forces element of the Force made up of regular and reserve subunits
    The Barbados Coast Guard, the maritime element of the Force made up of regular and reserve subunits.
    The Youth Development Wing, which comprises the Barbados Cadet Corps and the Barbados Defence Force Sports Programme.

    The Barbados Defence Force is responsible for the defence of Barbados and such other duties as the Defence Board determines. The Chief of Staff of the Barbados Defence Force is, subject to the directions of the Governor-General, responsible for the operational use of the Force, but the Prime Minister may, where no directions have been given by the Governor-General, give to the Chief of Staff directions with respect to the operational use of the Barbados Defence Force in Barbados for the purposes of maintaining and securing public order and public safety, as the Prime Minister thinks fit; and the Chief of Staff shall comply with those directions.

    The BDF is totally committed to assisting with national development, particularly through the training of the nation’s youth. To this end, the command and training of the units of the Barbados Cadet Corps are the responsibility of the officers and non-commissioned officers of the Barbados Defence Force who are posted or attached therefor to the Cadet Corps.

    Although there is a large degree of specialisation within the Force, all ranks are trained in a common set of core disciplines which enables them to function in the many roles assigned to the Force.

    The BDF is frequently engaged in humanitarian assistance and disaster response operations in addition to providing assistance to the Civil Power and Civil Ministries, along with performing its ceremonial duties. As a member of the Regional Security System (RSS), the BDF has rendered assistance during the  Grenada intervention in 1983, in response to the Jama’at al-Muslimeen coup in Trinidad in 1990 and between 1994 and 1996 in Haiti. The Force also assisted Jamaica in 1988, Montserrat 1989 and Grenada in 2004 during the aftermath of hurricanes Gilbert, Hugo and Ivan respectively. More recently the Force conducted disaster relief operations to Dominica in 2015 and 2017 in the aftermath of the passage of Tropical Storm Erica and Hurricane Maria respectively.

    For those of you who are historians of black history from the “New World”. Black Africans were always used as tools of warfare. Argentina once had a large African slave population. A large part of it was decimated in wars played out by their masters and it was a convenient method of diminishing their large numbers. The BDF is entirely black..

    The irony is tragic. Most of these troops cannot afford to purchase a piece of the rock yet they are expected to forfeit their life in Port-Au-Prince fighting in Haiti. Yet their politicians are living high on the hog. Pick sense from that.

    Too many people on BU lack bluntness and cannot see things clearly. All Caribbean islands have gangs/proxies/garrisons who are aligned to political entities. We have it in Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, Guyana and the other islands.

    Perhaps the gangs in Haiti have seen enough and want to remove the political elite who have toyed with their countrymen and destroyed all hope for their down trodden people.

    Haiti has been a provisional member of Caricom since 1998, it isn’t even a full member.

    We have more in common with Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, three of the four founding members of Caricom, than with Haiti.

    We should not be sending soldiers to Haiti.

    We don’t even understand anything about Haiti.

    With a population of 11,242,856, it swamps the entirety of the population of all of the full members of Caricom.

    The four founding members have a total population of under 5 million.

    Caricom is a joke with a bunch of HOGS that need locking up, that’s the only thing we have in common with Haiti.

    All are failed states.

    We have a Prime Minister who was raised and brought up on luxurious Sandy Lane. Contrast this with those BDF soldiers who come from predominantly disadvantaged groups from underfunded areas.

    They are to be dispatched to the cauldron called Haiti where they will be exposed to intimidation, violence and their probable deaths. As they bleed out, their last memories will be of liming, walking and swimming on Brown’s beach, memories of their mother and perhaps having an encounter with the female species, and then they will expel their last breath on foreign soil.

    Caricom needs to establish a line of communication with the Haitians and ask a simple question: “What can we do to assist you”. Seven simple words.

    Haiti does not need any boots on the ground it requires the main protagonists to reduce the level of violence in order to commence a debate on how the country can renew itself.

    Caricom should not fall for the American bait to enlist their people to wage war against their fellow blacks. Such a move will send out a message to all of those Caricom leaders to continue to abuse the rights of their citizens. Should these citizens agitate for change these organised forces will invade any Caribbean country in order to subdue the masses. Mia is aware of this precedent should it be enacted in Haiti. We all know that Caribbean leaders care very little for their own people.

    Jimmy Chérizier, AKA ‘Barbecue’, warns country will ‘become a paradise or a hell’

    The Warlord
    Former police officer Jimmy Chérizier, alias “Barbecue,” is one of Haiti’s most prolific gang leader and head of the G9 and family gang.

    The Revolutionary
    Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier has been placed in the international spotlight as an emblem of Haiti’s purported “gang problem.” But who is Chérizier really? A new documentary series, Another Vision: Inside Haiti’s Uprising, offers a different view of Chérizier—not as the leader of a criminal enterprise, but as a political figure leading an armed revolutionary movement.

    Gangs, freedom fighters, terrorists, whatever. Pacha is with them, till death.

    No doubt this American sponsored, UN supported warfarism against Haiti seems misguided when Palestinians are being genocide.

    Why is the BDF not helping them? Why is the BDF not going to Jamaica, Basseterre, or elsewhere in the world where gang violence exceeds Haiti’s by multiple times.

    In Mexico, for example, there are nearly 100 murders every day. Why not send the BDF to Mexico, as a non borrowing member of the CDB, on the southern border of America to quell the violence there.

    The BDF, under stinking Mia Mottley, is no more the sheep-dipped American soldiers of fortune seeking to tend the military latrines of the USA which is so overreached by its global militarism and unable to supply soldiers to keep its grandiose claims to a capitalist global security state that the Boy Scouts of the BDF must step into the breach.

    And since we’re talking about death. And when this BDF again allows itself to be rented, as if a whore, by Mia Mottley, a woe man, herself a captive of the America’s financial system, weeee trust that all 600 are returned home in body bags.

    There is no glory in this!

    We say death to these traitors, all!

    This is by far the most reckless step this wicked PM has taken thus far. Even as the world knows what the game of empire is, has been. Whether in Ukraine, Palestine, Syria, Taiwan and many other places, including all of Africa, America’s game is to have others fighting and dying in their stead, especially terrorists. Of course, paying there hired guns is simple, just print more money and give a little bit to idiots like Mia Mottley.

    Before allowing itself to be used as a scapegoat Barbados should ask the pertinent question:

    From where and from whom are those high-powered guns obtained in order to ‘arm’ those gangs, especially Barbeque’s?
    Is Saint Dominque no longer a populously Christian country representing the most enviable profit centre for the Roman Catholic Church?

What would the great C.L.R James make of this situation. He would be horrified but not surprised that Caribbean elites would conspire against a fellow black nation to collaborate with colonists to subjugate poor blacks and keep them downtrodden. This Caribbean black bourgeoisie mock their own peoples on a daily basis. This is why Mia is sending out the BDF to suppress the revolutionary message of Barbecue. May Barbecue’s spirit resonate throughout the Caribbean region

    What will be the reaction from the Barbados public once the body bags start piling up?

    What will be the reaction from Bajans when a BDF soldier is killed and their body is dragged through the streets of Haiti?

    Jemima Pierre his made a number of points on radio just now.

    She says, Haiti has no friends in Caricom, these soldiers are mercenaries, that Mia Mottley is looking for the UN top job, that it was Mottley who has, in Jamaica, followed the dictates of America in preventing Haitians from involvement in the provisional government discussions unless as a condition precedent they agreed to what the Americans wanted – the approval of this intervention force.

    Pierre reports that the unelected president of Haiti was prevented reentry from Jamaica by arms groups on his first attempt to return.

    He made another attempt to return through the DR. While in the air he and his FBI security guards were again refused reentry through the DR and diverted to Puerto Rico.

    It happens that Mia Mottley is at the center of this war on the people of Haiti. As an agent for America. OSA was right right about this bitch.

    Pierre further claims that Caricom is a colonial actor and is being directed by the core group of France, Canada, America and Brazil.

    Lula who pretends to be progressive should not have repeated his past acts against Haiti. When PJ Patterson was Caricom head he acted differently to this Mottley.

    Pierre when on, that the core group and Caricom have been surprised by the action of the armed Haitians.

    Pacha shall not relent in calling for the gigantic mushroom-headed deckie in Mia Mottley’s pookertz.

    We have to see how Caricom responds with Kenya backing out. The force will not have numbers to do the job.

    There appears to be no room for 9 Haitians who lack the funds to remain in Barbados. Are we such a callous people that we cannot allow these wretched people to stay. It appears that the government wants to deport them back to the war zone of Haiti. Put them to work and let them earn their keep!

    Ariel Henry is a gangster implicated in the murder of the American puppet Moise. A gruesome assasination.

    Mia Mottley, having promised the Bajans the L, the R and the eleven stars, can do no better with failure unavoidable, to use the job given by Bajans to look for another one deemed better.

    Seeking to be a better servant of a dying empire.

    What democracy?

    This woman should be hung for this maximum political crime against the country.

    For this behaviour is no better than the function of toilet paper. With Barbados as the tissue.
