The rioters are Marxists (at least from a cultural point of view).

Haiti desperately requesting outside help and potentially receiving it is neither "imperialism" or "neocolonialism", particularly when such intervention comes from their Caribbean neighbors rather than distant foreign powers.

Addressing the comment about "stifling Haitian sovereignty": Haitian sovereignty has already effectively ceased to exist. Haiti is a failed state with a government consisting entirely of empty seats and interim officeholders. It is completely unable to control either the gangs or mobs. The best they can manage is for police to control less than one fifth of the neighborhoods in Port-Au-Prince, and nothing anywhere else. The Haitian government only exists as a legal fiction at present, and does not exercise sovereignty over anything.

Haiti would probably be better off today if the French just took a “no mercy” approach to Haitian Revolution, as much as I hate to say it. But I don’t know if it would be worth it for the destruction said approach would’ve caused.
