Haiti doesn't need more soldiers, it needs a judiciary that can't be bought

QUESTION/DISCUSSION

Everyone's talking about the GSF, drones, new troops. But the real problem is Haiti's judiciary is rotten and nobody's touching it

The Moïse case: in October 2025 the Court of Appeals threw out charges against 51 suspects and restarted from zero. That's not slowness it's a system that resets whenever it suits someone with power

An economist said it plainly: the judiciary is the main obstacle to fighting corruption, not because investigations are missing, but because nobody follows through at the top

Why? The Ministry of Justice still controls who becomes a judge. Independence that only exists on paper

My take on what actually fixes this Judges with fixed terms nobody can remove by decree, Funding that doesn't depend on whoever's in power, Real protection for prosecutors going after gang-funding elites, Chase the money before the bullets
