On October 17, hundreds of thousands hit the streets of Haiti under the slogan, Occupation is over, long live our new independence. Processors were demanding the resignation of the FACTO President Ariel Henri, who they claim is responsible for the crisis facing the country. They also rejected his request for international military assistance to fight criminal gangs. The mobilizations coincided with the 216th anniversary of the assassination of Jean-Jacques de Zaline, the leader of the Haitian Revolution of 1804 and considered the father of the nation. Every year, Haitians mobilized on this day in commemoration of his life and revolutionary contributions to the country. On October 17, Haitians vowed to continue struggling against any foreign intervention and live up to his legacy. In the capital, Porto Prince thousands marched the US Embassy to demand an end to the US intervention in Haiti. However, before reaching the embassy, the protesters were oppressed by the police with tear gas. Demonstrations were held in the cities such as Le Caix, Capitaine, and Jeremy as well. They criticized the Henri government for seeking foreign military aid, despite being aware that previous military interventions did not solve the country's problems. The people of Haiti see international intervention as an attack on the country's sovereignty and the right to self-determination. The protests against the call for military intervention have been met with brutal violence and repression across the country. Haitian movements have pointed out that the president's move will pave the way for another foreign military occupation of the country. They have added that it also leads to the criminalization of social movements demanding change in the country. Incidentally, while the protests were happening, the UN Secretary General Antonio Guptares called for armed action in Haiti. The US and Mexican governments have also proposed a deployment of a multinational force in Haiti. On Saturday, October 15, Canadian and United States military aircraft delivered security equipment including tactical and armored vehicles and other supplies. According to reports from local media, on Saturday, four armored vehicles were received in the Capitol Port of Prince and until next Friday, 18 more will be received. People's movements and organizations from across the globe have expressed their solidarity with Haitian people in their struggle against this attack on sovereignty. Parallel mobilizations were held on October 17 in several cities in the United States to stand in solidarity with the people of Haiti and reject the threat of US military intervention. We're here because the people of Haiti are in the streets as well and we're here to denounce US-U.N. or group domination of Haiti. So the people of Haiti, they've been in the streets for months now protesting US policy, USD control, the amount of country keeping Haiti as a superpower and we're here to solidarity with them. So here's the thing, go to the US intervention of Haiti, go to the US and let it up and question our invasion of Haiti as they have done for some streets on end. I'm standing with Haitians who are protesting Haiti right now against the public government. That was appointed by the US government and against the intervention of the troops and the military, the arms equipment that is coming from the West right now. We are here on the ground to speak to a lot of Haitians that are also sticking out for this sovereignty, Haitians and hundreds, and to continue the long legacy of Haitians that we've said before independently.
