This week, Haïti Liberté journalist and editor Kim Ives talks about his article entitled “At the UN, Haiti’s Crisis Has Only One Author: The ‘Gangs'” about the Jul. 20 UN Security Council meeting on Haiti as well as a Jul. 25 meeting in Manhattan commemorating the 73rd anniversary of the start of the Cuban Revolution.
Ives made two mistatements in the course of his presentation.
- That on Dec. 21, 2022, he was the last presenter to give an “alternative analysis” about Haiti to the UN Security Council. In fact, Uncaptured Media journalist Dan Cohen also made a presentation to the body on Nov. 20, 2024 which offered an analysis along the same lines as that of Haïti Liberté. Ives and Cohen co-directed two films about the current situation in Haiti: “Another Vision” (2022) and “Intervention versus Revolution” (2024).
- In referring to the Sep. 30, 2025 UN Security Council resolution blessing the Washington-assembled Gang Suppression Force (GSF), Ives accidentally said it was passed on the 21st anniversary of the Feb. 29, 2004 coup d’état against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. In fact, he mistakenly conflated that coup with the first one against Aristide on Sep. 30, 1991. So the the GSF resolution passed on the 35th anniversary of the 1991 coup.
