just a reminder for everyone that haiti is still paying a massive debt to france for their freedom from slavery. this greatly hinders their ability to improve as a nation. google it
so blame the french for upholding their slaver policies.
Haiti is looking like the Fallout video game series.
Don't forget this was not just a jail break , this was done by a gang to get their mates out .
Just imagine if it was you who played any and i mean any role in getting even one of them inside the Prison. This is the worst time for their families who had did good in past to get these criminals in there.
There's no saying how bad it could get.
I pray for all the innocents to be safe out there man !
My poor country
That prison was a human rights disaster. The conditions were horrific. Obviously violent criminals being on the loose is horrific as well but the government is to blame for this crisis.
This is a real crisis, instead of what’s happening in gaza.
freaky
Should i care about this?
What would happen if ISIS make a base in Haiti?
The warden never played prison architect obviously
You only see stuff like this in movies😭
"Never go to Haiti" – Ron Burgundy
I wouldn’t even have jailed them in the first place wasting the countries resources
I dont know what is worse, the escaped prisoner situation or this reporter dude with his "ahhh".."ummm"…"uhhh"…
"uh uh uh erm erm ah uh eh uh erm uh"….
CIA sponsored this just like they sponsored the Haitian jailbreaks in 2002. More migrant army forces to suppress Americans when they roll out what ever is coming
Well we know who will be crossing into the united stats through the southern border now!
If they do The Warriors movie IRL they can take over their country 😮
Since when has Kenya led anything?
Honestly didn’t even know they had a jail anymore
Unfortunately , it’s another country where only the criminals are allowed to have guns.
Wakanda forever, right?
These poor people :/ makes me appreciate living here in the states. We aren’t perfect, but it’s still better than other nations.
They want us to let these people into our country lol
Classified diplomatic cable obtained by The Grayzone reveals the role of a veteran CIA officer in violently overthrowing Haiti’s popular President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004. Not surprised then that the crims were all armed with mostly new US weapons. Maybe the BBC should try reporting the truth for a change.
I’m so glad I live in America
I don't care, the hotel won't give me a refund so I'll take my chances, wish me luck.
Impel Down
Meh
It really is a shithole. Trump is always right.
The poor guys that were scheduled to get out that day lol
Haiti stood on bidness😤😤
Much love everyone 🙏
Its simple they are tryna wipe themselves out on that island
Where’s Spider-Man when we need him?
The state was doomed to fail from the start, unreasonable debt to the french for their freedom from slavery combined with an unstable geographical location, giving them unending earthquakes and hurricanes. You throw gang warfare in there, a little political corruption and the odd coup every time a progressive gets into power and it's hard to see how they will ever create a stable state
Poor guy 😂
The ones staying probably have release dates and dont want to jeopardize that. They will have a second chance. The ones actin crazy are probably lifers or facing serious time.
France really needs resources baaaad actually if things don't get worse, France is going to tank, idk how they're going to host the world this summer with power outages
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
