The problems of Haiti are caused by Haiti, not by external forces. People blaming the USA, France, United Nations, and others for the problems of Haiti are treating Haiti as an infant, a helpless, useless, clueless, witless child. Haiti fought hard for its independence in 1804. Haiti needs to figure out the purpose of being an independent Nation. How is Independence useful to and for the people of Haiti?
International Intervention in Haiti. Compare that with the USA failed attempts in "nation building" in Iraq and Afghanistan. Military victories are easily accomplished. Nation building is very difficult. The USA succeeded militarily in Iraq and Afghanistan but failed in "nation building". The "nation building" failure falls not on the USA but on Iraq and Afghanistan. The "nation building" success in post WW2 Japan and Germany falls not on the USA but on Japan and Germany. The mindset, value set, culture of the peoples of Japan and Germany were suitable for nation building. The intention of International Intervention in Haiti is nation building. Haiti is currently a failed state. The mindset, value set, culture of the people of Haiti is not yet suitable for nation building. To paraphrase a song by the late Eddy Kendricks: "Haiti, you need a change of mind".
If you don't live there and live in Europe how do you know if this is a war? Who are they killing? Who are they @raping? As much media attention in Haiti i haven't seen one with women screaming that, looks like protesting and looting to me, looks like people are feed up with the government, I only hear British and French men saying this. The fact this is a worry for France especially with the farming issues and war in Ukraine doesn't make sense. I understand why Haiti people don't want anything to do with EU influence.
The "living nightmare" being described as "rpes, kdpgs, and kllgs a daily occurrence".
I realize Haiti and the media is blaming everyone else, history, etc. But if they only stopped doing this to each other….. it would improve things considerably. I strongly recommend everyone cease doing all three immediately!
Everyone knows the Clinton Fondation,corrupted financial elites, corrupted,apatrid leaders stolen the earthquake's money.
The international community,specially USA must take on countability for the chaos in Haïti, Port-au-Prince.Always since 1915,choose to put corrupted,vilains,apatrids on power.Why always the worse,the wrong ones🤔🤔🤔
BBC sucks don't waste your time viewing this so called documentary. Very poor quality. Many more documentaries on Haiti by independent reporters actually going to Haiti.
Hello …this ISLAND 🏝 is WAKANDA rich in IRIDIUM in you call us poor …no no america is poor or your country were ever you from ..something your boss do to UKRAINE 🇺🇦
Dear France: REPARATIONS NOW! Haitian blood IS on YOUR hands 🙌🏻
Dear Haiti: you guys are amazing! You got this!!! ✊🏻
Americas interferecenes are like junk mail at this point. Only Ukraine was stupid enough to listen… Other countries like Haiti are wiser.
Haiti has the second largest iridium deposit in the world. The UN/U.S. troops have been mining it for years now. This is the reason they are in Haiti. What we see now is the result of a CIA operation, just like in Ukraine in 2014. Same playbook: you want something, you destroy the country's government and then you marsh in like a saviour. Were do you think these gangs got the weapons, ammo and support from?
What a pity
Why the whole Caribbean don't go to help these people
Sounds like the Devils Island, Piracy starting from Haiti now, thousands of lawless gangs that spread like a cancer if they arent Eliminated.
Haiti will never take responsibility for the state of their own country. The country will never get better the people that leave never return they go to Europe and the United States and forget all about their own countrymen. There is no collective will to do better.
Haiti is still suffering from that earthquake. How is Japan bouncing back after the tsunami?
Seems like the Dominican Republic should just go ahead and seize the other half of their island. I wouldn't want Haiti as a neighbor.
Poorest country outside Africa; but if it were in Africa, it would be an average country 😬
Dominican Republic should invade
ہم ہیٹی کی عوام کے ساتھ ہیں اور امید کرتے ہیں کہ جو بھی ہیٹی میں حالات کشیدہ اور خراب چل رہے ہیں وہ جلد سے جلد ٹھیک ہو جائیں اور ہیٹی کے عوام پرامن زندگی گزار سکں،امن و اشتی اور سلامتی کے ساتھ اور جو بھی ہیٹی کے دشمن اس کو خراب کرنا چاہ رہے ہیں اندر سے اور باہر سے وہ ناکام و نامراد ہو جائیں۔
The Clinton's stold all the money sent over there and left the country stranded.
