The Haitian Government has made a decision in regard to the current UN Peacekeeping force in Haiti and the threat of an Ebola epidemic. Haiti has suspended all troops rotation from Africa, in a move to prevent an outbreak of the Ebola epidemic.

On Thursday, October 16th, Haitian officials announced that the United Nations stabilization mission to Haiti has suspended sending troop rotation from Africa. This a preventive measure by the UN to keep the epidemic of deadly disease away from the Caribbean countries. The Haitian Health and Population Minister, Florence Duperval Guillaume has said that the UN will not send any more troops from African countries, affected by the Ebola epidemic. It is a precautionary measure for minimizing the risk of transportation of the disease. United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) has set up an isolation unit at one of its bases to take care of the Ebola victims or persons with symptoms of the disease. In 2010, U.N was held responsible for a cholera outbreak in Haiti. Then several scientific and medical investigation reports concluded that the most likely source of the outbreak was a leaking sewage system of a UN housing complex where some Nepalese peacekeepers were living and they carried the disease from 9,000 miles away, as it was present only in the northeastern region of the Indian subcontinent.

In a recent statement dated October 2, 2014, by the Ministers of Health, Interior and Defense, the Haitian government has forbidden any agency or organization to recruit Haitian volunteers on any mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER). The announcement came in the wake of a news release on social networks that the United Nations was recruiting volunteers to respond to the Ebola outbreak. Haiti is a frequent victim of outbreaks and contagious diseases. A cholera epidemic hit the country four years ago and killed over 8,500 people and infected more than 700,000 people. 'Cholera' was non-existent in Haiti for last 100 years; it was brought to Haiti by some U.N peace keepers from Nepal, stationed near a major river. Even this year, there was over tens of thousands of suspected cases of an outbreak of the mosquito-borne virus known as 'Chikungunya'. 'Ebola' is a severe haemorrhagic fever with a fatality rate around 50%. The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads through human-to-human transmission. It is a grave issue of health risk and that definitely calls for a serious preventive measure.
