Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has urged the UN to
intervene in Haiti, saying the Caribbean nation is racked by
instability, violence and "total disorder".
"Something has to be done and the UN is taking too long here," Lopez Obrador told reporters here on Friday.
Since
the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise on July 7, he
said, there has been "a lot of violence", which has driven waves of
Haitians to migrate north through Mexico to the US.
Lopez Obrador
also repeated his call for the US government to invest in development
programs in Latin America and the Caribbean to help discourage
immigration.
"We want the underlying problem to be addressed so
people are not forced to emigrate, because if not, we will continue to
get the same results," the President said.
"What we want is to change the policy that has been applied for many, many years and has not produced results," he added.
Lopez
Obrador hoped to expand Mexican development programs to Guatemala,
Honduras and El Salvador, as a way to reduce mass migration.
