This is a really tough situation. What would be the best response to this? It’s a humanitarian crisis and the people of Haiti are going to suffer immensely but what can other countries do? I don’t know much about the gang leader “Barbecue” but I’d wager he isn’t going to be a benevolent leader so just letting him take over is probably going to make things worse. At the same time, I don’t even think a UN peacekeeping force is going to have a positive impact as I’m pretty sure the people of Haiti are suspicious of EU powers due to their history. I can’t see a solution to this one that brings about a stable Haiti in the near term. Hopefully someone with more awareness in this topic could share some insights though.
I don’t really know of a solution, but before one is deterred Caribbean leaders are meeting today in Jamaica to discuss the issue. Let’s see what they come up with. Most all of them don’t have a military who could swoop in to control Haiti.

UN peacekeepers has been tried before in Haiti.

Maybe we could somehow get the Barbecue guy to demand reparations.
Let Haitians sort out Haiti, we don’t know better then they do.
