They are called gangs but Ronald Reagan said that the Talibans were freedom fighters, and the Nicaraguan Contras were called freedom fighters too
The Tonton Macoute was a paramilitary terrorist group created by Duvalier and supported by the USA

The USA government was part of the coup perpetrated in Haiti, and Barrack Obama also tried to stop the return of Aristides back to Haiti. He was forced to resign and he was exiled to Africa. Most elected governments in Haiti have not been able to finish their presidential period

On Tuesday, the US government effectively kidnapped Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry, a right-wing figure whom it had hitherto staunchly supported, a Miami Herald report has revealed.
Against the will of the vast majority of Haiti’s impoverished people, Washington—backed by Canada and France, the other imperialist powers long involved in Haiti—placed Henry in power following the July 2021 assassination of the country’s president, Jovenel Moïse.

At Washington’s behest, Kenyan President Ruto moves ahead with police deployment to Haiti
Kipchumba OchiengOn Thursday, Kenya announced that it is moving ahead with the US backed and developed plan for it to lead a Multinational Security Support (MSS) intervention in Haiti to bloodily restore bourgeois “law and order” in the Western Hemisphere’s poorest country. The Caribbean island-nation has been overrun by criminal gangs, most of which have close ties to rival factions of Haiti’s ruling elite.
While cast as a response to the desperate plight of the Haitian people, the true purpose of the MSS is to uphold US, Canadian and French imperialist interests and domination over the Caribb
