Since its inception, the mission has been widely repudiated by Haitian civil society as well as by progressive and left groups in Haiti and across the world, precisely for being another military invasion of the country and ignoring the political solutions that the Haitian people have proposed to end the ongoing political, economic, and security crisis.
Moreover, some experts claim that this is a form of mercenarism, in which “first world” countries pay for invasions while the boots on the ground come from “third world” armies.

#PeoplesHistory | Today, we commemorate the Little Rock Nine - a group of nine Black students who courageously enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957.
On September 4, 1957, the governor of Arkansas ordered the deployment of the Arkansas National Guard to "preserve the peace" and prevent Black students from entering the school.
The governor claimed that there was an "imminent danger of tumult, riot, and breach of peace" due to integration. A mob of white segregationists was also present and prevented the Black students' entry.
On September 23, 1957, President Eisenhower issued Executive Order 10730 to federalize the Arkansas National Guard and deploy them to support the integration and protect Black students.

#PeoplesHistory | Today, we remember progressive Indian journalist Gauri Lankesh, who was murdered on September 5, 2017.
Gauri Lankesh, the Editor of the weekly Lankesh Patrike, was a rationalist and a progressive thinker who wrote on a number of social issues and took a strong stand against Hindu right-wing forces.
For her work, Lankesh had to pay the ultimate price when three gunmen shot her seven times as she was about to enter her home.
While not conclusive, evidence from the official investigation points the finger at the Sanatan Sanstha, an extremist organization whose ideology of Hindu supremacism is in violation of India's constitution and runs counter to the country's long tradition of religious syncretism.

A mass mobilization will be held on September 7, the date on which Brazilian independence is celebrated, under the motto “All life is worthy of care. But who cares?”
Thirty years after it emerged with the motto “Life First”, the Cry of the Excluded (Grito dos Excluídos in Portuguese), a series of mass mobilizations held annually on Brazil’s Independence Day, has much to pay homage to. The space for denouncing the country’s historic social inequalities brings together dozens of social movements. This year to mark the date, these organizations are preparing a massive mobilization in various regions of the country on September 7, under the motto “All life is worthy of care. But who cares?” The details were presented on Tuesday by the organizers.

#PeoplesHistory | Today, we say Happy Birthday to Claudette Colvin, a pioneer of the Civil Rights movement in the United States.
Colvin was arrested at age 15 in the segregated US South on March 2, 1955, when she refused to give up her seat for a white woman in Montgomery, Alabama. Claudette would then go to court, with the other three plaintiffs in the first federal court case filed by Fred Gray, to challenge the bus segregation in the city.

The brutality of Milei’s far-right government has been put on display with the heavy handed repression doled out to elderly pensioners in the country who have been protesting for an increase in their pensions.
On Monday September 2, the President of Argentina, radical right-winger Javier Milei, vetoed a law that had already passed the first level of the Legislature, and that sought to increase pensions and retirement benefits given the rampant inflation in the country.

Last week, a video went viral showing a group of armed men at The Edge at Lowry apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado. The video has made its rounds across the right-wing media and political commentators, capitalizing on the fear mongering around the reported influx of migrants entering the United States, especially from Venezuela.
According to the apartment’s landlord, Brooklyn-based CBZ Management, members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua have taken control of the buildings, stolen rent money from residents, and chased out the property management.
But the right-wing fear mongering over gangs in Colorado obscures the larger issue of landlord neglect, according to residents.

26-year-old US activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi succumbed to her wounds on Friday after being shot by Israeli forces at a protest in Beita, to the south of Nablus.
Headlines from Western mainstream media sources have already attempted to obscure who killed the solidarity activist, with CNN stating “American activist shot dead during protest in West Bank, Palestinian officials say,” CBS News writing, “American woman Aysenur Eygi killed in Israeli-occupied West Bank, US confirms,” and BBC writing. “American activist shot dead in occupied West Bank.”
