[Marxism] France to intervene in Haiti?



Interfering in the US-backyard or imperialist burden-sharing?

Johannes

From the BBC:

Haiti revolt spreads to new town

A rebellion by opponents of Haiti's embattled president has spread further
with a new attack north of the capital.

About 50 men attacked a police station in the town of Hinche, killing
three people - one of them the police chief.

The rebels are now reported to control the town and two major roads
leading into the north of the country.

France has raised the possibility of an international peace force being
sent to Haiti, where the recent wave of unrest has left about 50 people
dead.

"We have the capacity to intervene and... many friendly countries are
ready to do so," Foreign Minister Dominique De Villepin said.

His comments followed an appeal by President Jean-Bertrand Aristide for
the international community to help put down the rebellion which has seen
armed opponents take over a string of towns in the north.
