Since the assassination of Haiti’s president, Jovenel Moïse, in 2021, the country has been in turmoil, with gangs taking control of much of the capital, Port-au-Prince. But they are not a new phenomenon.

Gangs have had a longstanding role in Haiti’s political life since the 1950s. The roots of the country’s hardship go back even further. Josh Toussaint-Strauss explores the historical background to the current crisis and discovers how gangs have become so embedded in Haitian politics.

Haiti don't need no puppet president.. come together my African brothers and sisters.. do the best for haiti God bless haiti ❤
That’s what has to be done armed actions…especially via DR arms forces backed by the democratic governments, till a democratic election happens.
That straight look like American military went and killed the president of Haiti
Just here to see what life will be like soon here in Ohio. I figured I better do some research on our new lil Hati
Why didn't Haiti just not pay the initial debt? They could have kept fighting ya?
Haiti is, for all intents and purposes, anarchy personified. There was never an interest in establishing a government after independence from France: just a never-ending game of "I want to be King!"
The solution to the problems in Haiti. Is not for everyone to leave Haiti.
Let's focus on the real issues.
Start with Haitian democratic elections. (They will need official Identification to vote)
Stop promoting Illegal migration.
Stop financing Gang leaders.
Stop sending Firearms and ammunition.
Stop the Open airfields for drug cartels and weapons traffic.
Stop the Open seaports for drug cartels and weapons traffic.
Stop Open borders for contraband and human traffic.
Stop ONG's corruption.
US and Framce is the reason behind Haiti today situation…
Countries hate Haiti because of their powers of Voodoo, they were force to follow France and USA rules
Mexico is going the same route
Nah. We need to leave Haiti alone.
So if the Haitians "won colonial independance", why would they pay france anything? or did france threaten to "come back" ?
My heart bleeds for Haiti. 💔
Haiti was scammed by the French after the revolution.. 💔💔💔
😢
The Americans and French are to blame for many atrocities in the world including the genocide in Gaza and the destruction that is coming to Kiev
I can see this happening soon in the U.S. , you can call it civil wars or whatever something elegant.
imagine you are free to work but every time you get paid you pay 90 percent of your salary to your boss and then he decides you should pay more by invoking illegal interest rates with intimidations of war. Economic colonization at it's finest. The debts have been paid a long time ago, but Europe still needs some form of slavery. Don't believe me, check out the currencies of French colonized countries in Africa
I blame Papa Doc. His rule crippled any growth for Haiti.
We all know why
It’s interesting West labeled this as a “gang takeover” instead of calling it what it really is a revolution/ civil war.
I'm sure centuries of corruption has nothing to do with their trouble, just blame colonialism 😂 instead of taking a double debt they should have negotiated returning to france as an autonomous region and they would be a first world country today.
Smfh
This is one sided and deceptive you did not mention the genocide.
All France and Americas fault
I will continue to pray for GOD'S PEACE for Haiti.
FREE ARAB
As what we have notice in the past that many countries over the world collapsed and ruined were caused by rivals politicans,grapling for power.

Your dramatic. That wasnt complicated at all. It was blatantly simple.
Because of France… It's not complicated.
sa struktury dobrej mafi – kradnięcie ze sklepu, napad na bank, oszukiwanie systemu i wykorzystywanie go ale ewoluowanie prawa i swiata i rynku by bylo coraz zajebisciej
tworzenie nowego swiata by bylo wszystko za darmo a za prace kazdy by sobie placil tyle ile chce i jak chce.
a pieniadze jako dodatek i zabawa i jedno z narzędzi by ulepszac ufnosc miedzy ludzmi i zaznawanie lepszych relacji.
Opiekowanie sie Naszymi i Indywidualnymi ludzkimi potrzebami zamiast zniechecanie do przestrzegania prawa
tlumaczenie co i kiedy sie oplaca i jak osiagnac to co sie chce.
Usuwania komisariatow by Policjanci mieli lepsze zycie i zajebiscie sie Nam Razem żyło
Ogólne dazenie do fajnego doswiadczenia relacji i kazdy moze sie przydac i zajebisty sukces osiagnac na swoj sposob
pozytywne nawet nie kary tylko fajnie ryjące banie i otwierające nauki i miłe "kary"
te struktury i przekonania musza rządzić światem!!!
i struktury zlej mafi- oslabianie zywotnosci zdrowia, ograniczanie energi zyciowej. sciganie ludzi i kontrolowanie prawem moralnym i cywilnym karanie i zabijanie ludzi
chronienie prawa i zasad zamiast skupic sie na chronieniu ludzi
te struktury i przekonania trzeba zniszczyc!!!
Ah Haiti, the Oakland of Hispaniola.
Time to get the El Salvador treatment
Every evil has roots in Europe
On todays episode of blaming white people for black peoples poor living conditions
Perhaos ask why black nations do so well compared to white nations?
