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.

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.

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!

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۔

Haiti is still suffering from that earthquake. How is Japan bouncing back after the tsunami?

Haiti was already struggling economically. These are people who are not many generations behind enslaved people who freed themselves, but were crippled paying back their enslavers for their own lives 😿. Not to mention the epigenetic traumas inflicted on their ancestors by the abusive enslavers. That’s a lot of weight frfr. Japan already had a strong economy. They were a stronghold, and had been closed off from the outside world only until recently. There is a HUGE difference in circumstances between the two.

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 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".

THE U.S. is providing them with weapons and ammo. Haiti has the second largest iridium deposits in the world. The US./UN troops have been mining and stealing it for years now. Now the U.S. will move in like a saviour and take over the deposits.

1./Why? Do you really want these people as your citizens? 2./ They know very well that the U.S./UN is behind all these events, they give weapons and ammo to these gangs. They are not going against the U.S. What the U.S. wants from Haiti? IRIDIUM. Haiti has the second largest deposits in the world. The U.S./UN "representatives" have been mining and stealing it for years. Now they will have all of them. What you see is a CIA operation. Just like in Ukraine in 2014.

No!! The Dominican constitution prohibits intervention or invasion in another independent nation, we are not interested either, the problem is not the land, it is the people, the problems are their culture, religion, way of living, used the role of victim for decades, Dominicans have accused of racism and xenophobia thousands of times on this same TV channel Just for trying to protect our border.

@@morena025314 I am Hungarian we were accused with the same things because we don't let illegal migrants into the country only genuine asylum seekers. I saw a documentary compering Haiti and DR. Yes, the French caused a huge economical damage but you cannot blame them for everything. You are right : it is eventually down to the people, their cultural, their morals.
