Special envoy to Haiti resigns citing 'inhumane' US decision to deport thousands of Haitians from US border
CNN
Daniel Foote, the US special envoy to Haiti, has handed in his resignation to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, saying he will "not be associated with the United States inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees" from the US-Mexico border.
He adds that the US policy approach to Haiti remains "deeply flawed."
Foote stated in his resignation letter to Blinken that Haiti is wracked with poverty, crime, government corruption and a lack of humanitarian resources. He said the "collapsed state is unable to provide security or basic services and more refugees will fuel further desperation and crime."
