  1. The truth : USA , France , Canada are the Probleme for Haiti situation . They are a Cancer for Haiti .. They support Popet President and want to Steal , Haiti natural resources .

  2. I have to apologize for misjudging this network. I am not in total tune with certain ideologies; however, there are things like Hati that are evidence that the NWO is doing what it always does. They create a crisis and then solve it where the solution gives them massive financial profits, power, and control of the Global arena. The NWO/Globalist will create a one-world government if not stopped!

  3. Nothing about the US shocks me. They sponsored a coup in Ukraine in 2014 to remove a Moscow leaning government and they're today at the forefront of berating Russia for destabilizing Ukraine their role totally glossed over by the Western media.

  4. The kenyan forces sent to Haiti are very ineffective and inefficient as it was proven on Congolese land.

    It is difficult to understand the motivation of sending the kenyan forces to Haiti. Haitians should investigate to know deeply the motivation of those who sent kenyan troops to Haiti.

    No positive expectations at all from them.

  5. Just a few years ago a US president told Haiti's former president Mr aristide that he cannot raise the minimum wage that was one of the main reasons they got rid of him three families that control Haiti are extremely rich Caucasian families associated with multiple us corporations so basically they're forcing Haiti into an open-air slave plantation

  6. So what's new, it's just the United Snakes of Amerikkka using the CIA's proxies to destabilizing a region of the world/country, they've been doing it all over south and central America now they're simply targeting Haiti.

  7. Thanks for telling us . And the caricom must not go playing part in this nonsense. Let the Haitian put there government together. The west should not be part of this decision. Because they are the ones who started it in 2004. Stop making the west do what they want in Haiti. Caribbean leaders stop .think of what u doing to your own people . put the usa and Canada and France in there place and fix Haiti.

  8. Sadly, this would've been more shocking if it were the first time that the US deliberately messed up other countries' governance and left them in ruin. Wonder why so many refugees have been fleeing from Central and South America?

  9. Kick the can down the road and blame everyone for your problems….
    The Haitians are mostly the source of their own situation.
    Who are the ones killing and causing chaos in the country…. No one man or prime minister can change a country on his own unless the people work in unison towards a common goal and out of the poverty and suffering

  10. You need to go down there with your film crewand govt funded prooaganda pushers and ask them nicely to lay down their weapons n talk over a cup of coffee,im sure they are reasonable,just oppressed by systemic white privlage racism

  11. Whenever that woman talks, she sounds like she’s almost about to cry. And I can certainly sympathize. I don’t know why they can’t just Haiti alone. What does it possibly have that the U.S., France, and other western countries want so badly that they’re more than willing to destroy this poor country just to get at it??

  12. It is strange how no matter what happens in the USA and other first world countries, they never have coups and yet they influence them in Haiti and Africa add to that they make sure that the people who are chosen to lead in third world countries serve their interests. I hope that a solution is found to the problems in Haiti.

  13. The UN has intervened in Haiti at least a half a dozen times in the last 2 decades. Completely unsustainable always making things worse. Haiti said enough is enough with the World/ UN selecting their illegal unstable governments. Individual counties should choose their governments not the UN or some other countries.

  14. Well, look at that. You have this smart person excluded from Haiti's affairs but have a bunch of brainless turds running the country. This is the issue. I know a ton of smart Haitian scholars who can flip this narrative in a year, but nope. They continue to give the mic and the power of the purse to the degenerates

  15. All that without saying Bill Clinton's name once? Amazing! The problem with Haiti is every dollar of aide sent there is stolen by the people of the governments who sent the money. The Clintons got their share. I always liked Bill Clinton, but he needs to stop robbing aide and foundation money. Enough is enough Bill.

  16. Lol…empires laboratory??? I'd be surprised if presidents spend more than 20 to 30 minutes per 4-year term thinking about Haiti, excluding the earthquake… you can spin US intervention as the root cause/ bad guy all you want but there's no Financial/strategic incentive to get involved with Haiti… I really don't like our foreign policy but specifically with this case I'm sure if we ask Hillary Clinton and other diplomats theyd say every decision made was trying to prevent a collapse

  17. I believe that the Haitians should go back to Africa and give the land to the people who lived there before.haitians have torch the country where it is no longer what it was.. every time you blame someone else for your own failure you will never better yourself. The land actually belongs to the Spanish speaking people who owns the country long before the Haiti every came to be.
