Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty Haiti is free from MINUSTAH at last...

The U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti has officially ended today, October 15, 2017. A new mission has started, It's civilian mission called MINUJUSTH, The United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti.

MINUJUSTH will have up to 1,275 police officers as well as correction officers and international civilians, but no military personnel.

So let's wait and see what happens.

What do you think about that?
