Haiti’s crisis can no longer be reduced to a political, security, or humanitarian crisis. In his book, Dr. Eddy Delaleu presents it as a strategic issue that concerns not only Haiti, but also the United States, the Caribbean, and the wider Western Hemisphere.
The gradual collapse of institutions, insecurity, displacement, and the weakening of the Haitian state raise a fundamental question: How can democracy be rebuilt when the institutions responsible for sustaining it are themselves in crisis?
A Responsibility That Goes Beyond Haiti
According to this perspective, Haiti’s situation now has regional consequences. Migration, security, transnational crime, political stability, and economic development have become issues that extend beyond Haiti’s borders.
Washington’s role therefore becomes crucial. The title of Dr. Delaleu’s book directly challenges Donald Trump to rethink U.S. policy toward Haiti, moving beyond short-term responses focused mainly on security and humanitarian emergencies.
Rebuilding the State and Democracy
The central challenge, however, remains Haitian. No lasting solution can be achieved without strong institutions, a credible justice system, effective public authority, and renewed trust between the state and the population.
Dr. Eddy Delaleu’s analysis therefore invites readers to view Haiti not simply as a country in crisis, but as a major strategic issue for the Caribbean and the United States.
The question remains: What long-term strategy will Washington adopt in response to Haiti’s continuing institutional and political collapse?
