Is Minustah in Haiti For life?"A Vie"

Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, just recommends the renewal of the Minustah mandate for one year. He recommended that the Security Council extend its mandate of yet another, which is until October 15, 2013.

Le'ts face it folks, MINUSTAH is here for good.

Based on my analysis, the decision on whether these people stay or leave does not depend on us.

If we have to put up with them, shouldn't they at least protect the population?

According to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, "the security situation remained relatively stable although punctuated by sporadic civil unrest due mainly to socio-economic demands and to the instability caused by members of the former armed forces". The General Assembly is expected to spend nearly $650 million to finance the operation of the Minustah in Haiti for the period from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013

Is he for real?

Let's compare this to our reality. The number of homicides has increased from March 2012 to July 2012 with an average of 99 per month. Previously, we were averaging 75 during the same period. In July 2012 alone, the number of homicides was at a high of 134. In regard to kidnapping, we did not get a break either. From March 2012 to July 2012, we recorded an average of 10 kidnappings per month.

I just have some questions that I am hoping someone could come up with a satisfactory answer for:

What is the purpose of Minustah in Haiti?

Who exactly are they protecting?

Nearly $650 million will be spent by Minustah in the name of Haiti for next year. Don't you think that this money could be used more effectively?

Some Tips to reduce your chance of becoming a victim after a banking activity:
