Dear AnnieGetYourGang,

Yes Haiti is a victim of an earthquake. But UN and the international community believe that security may be needed to support humanitarian effort. Why don't you address your queries to the UN and instead decide to pour your malice on Rwandans?

[AnnieGetYourGang]

This is a news report. You left a comment and I responded. And I feel no malice whatsoever for Rwandans.

This is rubbish! Rwanda's peace keepers are smart, disciplined and vigiant! Keith is a spokesperson of the FDLR-the outfit of genocide perpetrators

[AnnieGetYourGang]

@jacquesbagabo Why do you think Haiti needs peacekeepers? They suffered an earthquake, not a civil war.

[shinani1]

Hahahahahah...If there was ever a dumb idea, it is sending peace keepers when people need food and water. Why does Haiti need peacekeepers? This is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Haiti has their own police. Why aren't they training Hatian policeman. Anyway, knowing Haitians, they will kick the Rwandans out on their own anyway. I don't underestimate the strength of the first black republic born out of a slaver revolt. Unlike the Congolese, Haitians will stand up to these most accomplished killers.

Extremely important report; what is happening in Rwanda (and indeed Haiti!) is not receiving enough international attention.

[Babyfacedblackjesus]

This report is obsurd and full of hate!

[Clemequerry]

Annie Garrison, a reporter of Anti -Rwandan peaceful government,any one tell why she has never come up with any news about Rwanda's many success stories?

[shinani1]

Sending Rwandan Police to Haiti is CONTERPRODUCTIVE Haitians need shelter for the rainy season. Need food, water, med supplies, builders, nurses, doctors, project managers, humanitarians. Police officers, especially the Rwandan police is DEFINITELY NOT fit for any of what the Haitians need. What is the point of the "mission"? Haiti has police already. If they need more, they don't need them imported! Anyone who defends this "mission" cannot tell the difference between a policeman and a ROOF.

[AnnieGetYourGang]

@murokore1 Don't you think that Haitians might do well to employ their own police? They had an earthquake, not a civil war.
