In Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince, gangs control 90% of the city. Government authority has all but collapsed, and ordinary Haitians are trapped in a daily struggle for survival In the past six months, more than 4,000 people have been killed. More than a million people have been forced to flee their homes, as violence and insecurity spreads. The Caribbean island nation has been engulfed in a wave of gang violence since the assassination in 2021 of the then-president, Jovenel Moïse.

The good life 😎
It's frustrating to watch this since they've had boot to neck ever since they fought back the French. Then add in the natural disasters, further meddling from European powers and this is the result.
It's be design. The first black country to gain its independence reduced to a state where it might as well be back under colonial rule. It's meant to tarnish the image of all black people everywhere. Basically, 'without the white man, whether it be proximity of or by under rule of, blacks cannot succeed'.

How is this STILL going on :mjtf: there isn't even a country willing to take it over for any of it's natural resources?

This could happen in America and it would be just as bad if not worse.
American gangs would get dog walked by the military it's not even close :mjlol: we only struggle against countries with crazy terrain advantages/complex tunnel systems


this ain't Mexico you aren't gonna see any crips with a tank pulling up to the state capitol

Why isn’t the UN doing anything, what do those Mfs even do ?
Because the last time they went to Haiti there was mass rapes, child abuse, and extrajudicial killings of residents. They also brought cholera, a disease which wasn't previously present on the island. It's a touchy situation, And from my understanding ; local Haitians don't want them there.


As an organization , they are more harm than helpful. The UN did some similar nefarious sht in the DRC during their "peace keeping" mission. The United Nations soldiers are a bunch of thugs and miscreants.

I hear you on the background of WS, but a lot of their problems are from domestic bad governance too. I draw a parallel to the corrupt leadership in Africa vs the few leaders who made an attempt to at least do a good job.

Just like leaders like the late magafuli, mokgweetsi, kagame , akkufo-addo, or Nyerere can turn around a country despite opposition from white nations, so can the Haitian leaders.


I guarantee you that no secret cabal of white puppet masters made papa doc and baby doc commit atrocities on their own people. These are self-imposed injuries. Similarly Haiti made horrible blunders in foreign policy. For example, they had a crap ton of support from the South American nations like Simon Bolivar's alliance countries but they fumbled the bag. Also it was a dumbass move by their leadership to recognize Taiwan instead of the more economically and geopolitically useful Beijing. It's the same foolishness the king of Eswatini is doing that actively impoverishes his people.
