Haiti has no president or elected officials. Instead, an expensive nine-member presidential council holds power without oversight or accountability.

Not denying the historical commentary w.r.t. colonialism. It’s still a conspiracy theory to think that western countries currently want Haiti to be unstable and be run by gangs.
As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, they might not want to bear the financial burden (I would speculate you need several billion USD a year for security and institution building), but it’s not like they actively benefit from Haiti being unstable.
That being said, I am open to alternative commentary from someone living there (unfortunately I’ve never been to Haiti).
That’s true, I meant that Haiti was historically actively sabotaged—rather than simply neglected—by the West. In hindsight I should’ve worded that differently.
