Hi, I'm from Brazil and my country has a strong military presence in Haiti as part of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti. I'd like to know if you had contact with the brazilian forces there, and how did you feel their presence and work was viewed by the haitians? Unfortunately due to overall disinterest in our media on such interesting and important topic we don't get much information on this issue (unless something goes wrong).

Thanks for the answer! But do you think this rejection comes from their previous experience with the Nepalese battalion, or it's just an overall rejection of MINUSTAH? Why would they reject/oppose the stabilizing mission like that? Particularly after the earthquake, wouldn't the foreign troops be even more necessary to help rebuild?
