US embassy cable - 05SANTIAGO1634

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION - HAITI 
 
 
On July 30, center-left "Diario Siete" (circ. 23,000) ran 
an editorial by Defense Ministry of Chile international 
analyst Maria Ines Ruz entitled, "Haiti:  Chile Was and 
Is There When Needed."  Quotes: 
 
"There is consensus that Haiti's structural poverty and 
institutional problems have no short-term solutions and 
that issues of political stability and future governance 
in that country cannot be resolved without international 
aid....  Social and economic growth in Haiti, and even 
the survival of its people, depend to a large degree on 
the effort that is being made to fulfill the goals set by 
the UN....  The goals and targets of the mission in Haiti 
(MINUSTAH) have to do not only with disarming groups and 
protecting civilians, but more importantly with 
guaranteeing the peace and stability that will enable 
Haitians themselves to set their future....  Haiti is not 
alone.  37 countries and 6,841 soldiers have sealed a 
commitment that ties them to the future of eight million 
Haitians in this international solidarity initiative."
