How can it be a genocide, when the people being killed, are being killed by their own people. I also like that the person with the rifle is claiming that it is everyone else's fault that people are being killed.

definition of genocide is also based on tribalism even if it's the same people.

The saddest part is that Haiti is rich enough in natural resources that virtually every citizen could be quite wealthy. I hope they can get their collective act together, but I am not optimistic

These gangs/rebels were quick to take over by violence, calling for the PM's resignation without considering how they were going to run the country.

1. the PM wasn't real, never sworn in legally, 2. The gangs were funded by the government, but since the government was getting killed off, paid off, puppets of foreign govs... here we are. Not in support of the gangs, but even less in support of the government, especially if backed by the west.

The gangs were instituted by the government since there is no army. The gangs figured they were being used and the government was a puppet government. The PM was never elected, only selected. A coup was needed years ago and the ejection of the UN and US as well, and let the people figure it out, even if it means civil war.

A civil war is not a always a genocide

Odd callout on the Canadians for blame.. their work in Haiti is close to non-existent from what I can gather, other than some modest amount of aid they provided.

Why did he fail to mention the Polish soldiers who joined Napoleon's army to win favor for Poland... and Napoleon sent them to Haiti because he considered them to be disposable. When the Polish soldiers saw that the Haitians were fighting against the same kind of tyranny that was going on back home... they joined with the Haitians to help they beat the French. When Haiti won their independence... white men on the Island were banished or killed... other than the Polish who fought along side the Haitians who were given full citizenship as well as declared to be white negros of Europe since other Europeans (as well as _any_ foreigners) were considered to be _blanc_ and not permitted to own land in Haiti. There are still descendants of those Polish soldiers in Cazales... and phrases that are known across Haiti like "in Krakow" (which means neat and tidy) exist because of the Poles. Our Lady of Czestochowa is revered as Ezili Dantor in Haitian Vodou that they recognized as a protector of the oppressed when they saw images of her that the Poles brought. Maybe Poland can help Haiti again?... since they already have a respected place Haiti history?

The new head of TVP World, Michał Broniatowski, was vice-president of the Russian news agency Interfax in 2003-2009. He is the son of a man of the communist security organs, head of the Provincial Security Office in Warsaw, director of the Central School of the Ministry of Public Security in Łódź, acting. director of the MBP Training Center in Legionowo and Colonel of the Security Service Mieczysław Broniatowski.

Who wants to intervene in Haiti? The poverty and misery of Haiti is its best defense. When the USA embargoed Cuba in 1960 about 50,000 haitians (seasonal workers) were marooned. In the 1960's and 1970's Cuba sent revolutionary activists (military, civilian) to Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and Africa. But Castro sent no agents to Haiti. Puzzling, given that there is a large haitian community in Cuba from which to recruit agents. A journalist asked the Cuban Ambassador to the United Nations why no agents were sent to Haiti. Answer: "Who wants to inherit Haiti's problems?" Yes, there were rumors of a 1966 plan to send 300 people from Cuba to overthrow Duvalier and nothing came about. Duvalier justified the various mass seizures, arrests, killings because of various coup attempts (real and rumored). Duvalier declared himself president for life in 1964. When evaluating the situation of Haiti in 2024, events 50 years ago matter much more than events 200 years ago. Let us start with, say, year 1950. In 1950, Haiti was 36% richer (per capita) than South Korea, in 1998 South Korea was 16 times richer (per capita) that Haiti. The SKorea-Haiti gap has been growing since. Why the difference? South Korea suffered through WW2 and the Korean War; Haiti was left untouched. The mean, rotten, nasty, rapacious International Corporations landed in South Korea to exploit, despoil, violate mercilessly the nation's land, resources, and people. All that time, said exploiter Corporations ignored Haiti. What is worse than being exploited? Answer: not being exploited at all. Per capita GDP was nearly twice as high in Haiti as in Bangladesh back in 1950--but by 2001, per capita output was higher in Bangladesh than in Haiti (by about 15 percent). The Bengladesh-Haiti gap has been growing since. In 1950 the Haitian economy was more or less at the same level as the economy of the Dominican Republic. CY2009 per capita income, of Haiti = $1,340; of Dominican Republic = $8,672. The DR-Haiti gap has been growing since. The reparation issue is a red herring. The reparations were done by 1947. In 1950, Haiti was in better shape than many countries; Haiti was untouched by WW2. Without the reparations burden Haiti will be less poor, but poor nonetheless. The gang situation would still be bad even if president Moïse was still alive. Both Moïse and Henry are weak. They are "urban" politicians with no rural support. They definitely had no clout with the gangs in the country (urban, rural). Aristide had clout in the rural areas. Yes, Papa Doc Duvalier had big clout in the rural areas (Duvalier had a political alliance with the voodoo network). Aristide is an ex-priest so his Church affiliation provided network access to rural communities. Currently only Guy Philippe is building a grass roots movement outside Port-au-Prince. Guy Philippe needs to become the gang "whisperer"; Chérizier is working hard to be a kingmaker. Gangs. Some naive commentators think this is a recent thing. Nope. Militant gangs have been around since the beginning of Haiti's history. Back in the late 1800's said gangs are called "cacos". Often the caco's will settle in tents on the grounds in front of the National Palace either in support of or opposition to the president. Under Duvalier, you had the Tonton Macoutes. Under Aristide, you had the Chimères, some of whom were former Tonton Macoutes. Violent men, men with guns and machetes do not fade away and take up knitting.
