The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Gangs waging warfare have plunged Haiti into anarchy. As the country badly needs some authority to allow the deployment of an international security force, it's positive news that the transitional council is now closer to starting work.

This will just consolidate power in the hands of those to blame for much of the country's problems.
