  • Sue Mi Terry
    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 5 hours ago

    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 5 hours ago

    Nazar Voloshin “The situation in the Kharkiv sector remains complicated but is evolving in a dynamic manner. Our defence forces have partially stabilised the situation. The advance of the enemy in certain zones and localities has been halted.” 10 hours ago

“It is honestly outrageous to see a country and a city under total and absolute lockdown at war for a month, and there is absolutely no sign of shortage of weapons or ammunition. The weapons keep coming in, it's a never-ending story. We have to take care of the arms trafficking in Haiti, it's extremely urgent.”

“Haiti's borders are porous to all manner of contraband, including illegal firearms and ammunition. A combination of political and economic elite, gangs and private security companies are procuring weapons from a variety of sources and bringing them into the country on clandestine flights, packed into shipping freight, and carried by mules across the land border. With criminal gangs controlling key access and distribution points across the country - including ports, warehouses, and roads - they are able to move product with impunity.”

“Cherizier likes to compare himself to historical figures like South Africa's Nelson Mandela or Cuba's longtime President Fidel Castro. And he likes to say that he's essentially a revolutionary … and he's going to redistribute wealth. While Cherizier has distributed some food and resources to people in areas under the control of his G9 gang, that's hardly a vision of the future or some sort of revolutionary [act]. It's more that he [Cherizier] wants to control his turf. Those who have suffered the most from the continued gang violence in the Haitian capital are the very, very poor people in the major slums. Something like over 200,000 Haitians had to leave their houses. They had to move into really very poorly equipped camps. You have, in other words, a situation where the people who are suffering the most are the very poor, the very people that Barbecue says he wants to help.”

“We're not going to recognise the decisions that CARICOM takes. I'm going to say to the traditional politicians that are sitting down with CARICOM, since they went with their families abroad, we who stayed in Haiti have to take the decisions. It's not just people with guns who've damaged the country but the politicians too. Now our fight will enter another phase - to overthrow the whole system, the system that is five percent of people who control 95 percent of the country's wealth. The presence of Kenyans in Haiti will be an irony because the same people who gave weapons to people in poor neighbourhoods to rise up against the former government, then lost control of those armed groups, are now appealing to a foreign force to save things. It is a mission that's failed in advance - it's a shame that William Ruto has to go in that direction.”

“It's a very long road, but the immediate problem is the formation of the new government, the selection of a prime minister by the new government. Then the next consideration will be addressing the gang violence. Can you have negotiations with the gangs? If you can't have the negotiations with the gangs, will the Kenyans arrive on time and will they have the capacity to deal with them?”

“We are not sure how much this dynamic will last. But they [the gangs] formed a joint alliance in September 2023, basically trying to respond to the possibility that a multinational security mission was going to be deployed to Haiti, and they wanted to prevent that. These are groups that increasingly think that the only way to retain not only their relevance but their existence is if they are able to at least manage some important degree of political power.”

“Barbecue has made vague demands of a more just and equitable system, but of course the irony of this whole situation is that the armed groups in the capital and around are creating the hell that people are living through. Barbecue claims to have united Port-au-Prince's notoriously quarrelsome gangs in a coalition called Viv Ansanm (Live Together). It is hard to verify that claim. But while so far no rival gang leader has denied it, any alliance is likely to be short-lived. These groups feud mercilessly with one another all the time. The gangs appear to have found a modus vivendi while they try to tear down the pillars of the state. To what end I'm not exactly clear.”

“For the last the three years, the gangs started to gain autonomy. And now they are a power unto themselves. They are capable now of imposing certain conditions on the government itself. Those who created the gangs created a monster. And now the monster may not be totally in charge, but it has the capacity to block any kind of solution.”
