Antiwar Voices Condemn UN Authorization of US-Backed, Kenyan-Led Invasion of Haiti

Peace proponents in Haiti and around the world condemned Monday’s authorization by the United Nations Security Council of a U.S.-backed, Kenyan-led multinational military invasion of Haiti to help its unelected government fight gangs that have run roughshod over parts of the Caribbean nation’s capital.
