| Knowing How the News is being reported these days. You would look at this photo and think it's Gaza ? No , It's Haiti going to hell with gangs killing , even reports of cannibalism . It's a good distraction , probably the Next Place Joe Biden is going to send American troops! |
FIRST WE HAVE UKRAINE Crisis , then came Israel -Hamas War Crisis and NOW HAITI ? I am sure it's just another distraction were American dollars are going to be sent . PROBABLY The United States will send the military . BUT JUST WAIT .Heavily armed gangs are sowing mayhem, killing indiscriminately, breaking open prisons and blocking aid. Nearly half the country is hungry; 1 million people are starving. You's think it's there Gaza Strip , but no , it's another mess that the United States has had it's thumbs on for decades , now all Hell is broken loose !“It was all the CIA’s fault” has become a world renowned excuse for poor decision making on every level of governance. Like damn, it’s funny how the CIA only ever seems to target random nations with incompetent governments instead of their geopolitical rivals.I’m not trying to say that we shouldn’t hold the US accountable. The USA has done some seriously treacherous crimes to Haiti and that’s not anything new or even up for discussion. We know that already. I understand that it is not the Haitian/Port-au-Prince population that should be blamed and shamed just because their government leaders are useless sellouts who only hurt us. All of that really goes without saying.But all of the economic problems in Haiti end up circling back to corruption. The businessmen mulattos (and blacks) who hold all the wealth in Haiti and don’t share it with the masses to better the country. The politicians in office who only have their interest in mind. A seller must have a product to give to that they receive money for it. If the claims that Haiti has all these natural resources and stuff like oil is actually true, then if the people in power weren’t so damn corrupt we would be frickin Dubai right now. Or at least at the level of our neighbors. Is there truly nobody who lives this country enough to not sell it out to a bunch of blancs who don’t care about us? Imagine if all of that money went into causes worthwhile like Education, infrastructure, architecture, buildings, parks, environment conservation, crime, military, etc. instead of these folks pockets. That would be best for Haiti and everybody in the dang Americas. If the US really cared about us they would make it possible for us to be better and install some half-way decent leaders so we don’t have to run to Miami all the damn time.Second, the outcomes of prior foreign interventions in Haiti have been mixed-to-bad. This adds an element of Deja-vu and pessimism to any intervention effort. It’s likely a successful intervention would have to be far more involved than previous ones to prevent the country from just collapsing again once foreign troops leave, and nobody wants to be stuck rebuilding Haiti over a prolonged period of time. Prior interventions have also resulted in a significant anti-intervention sentiment among Haitians, some of whom also oppose any intervention that could prop up the corrupt government. Of course, even if a more inclusive and transparent government is formed, it is very hard to see such a government restoring democracy and civil order without foreign troops.In short, it seems like a foreign intervention is necessary to help Haiti get on its feet, but nobody actually wants a foreign intervention, so it’s struggling to move forward.Having your country collapse during the re-election campaign of a US president seems like a pretty unfortunate event. There's some conspiracy theories that the "powers that be" wants this problem to escalate to the DR and somehow merge the two countries into one (not gonna fkn happen) and/or let it get so bad for Haiti that the US sends their "freedom" to Haiti.The big deal with our little island is how resource rich it is and it's strategic position potential, it's a very desirable advantage to have. One of the biggest hurdles to this entire crisis is that Haiti hasn't had elections since 2016 (!) and their defacto PM isn't elected, and it's rumored that he has ties to the past president's assassination, who was already on dubious legitimacy due to the lack of elections that were postponed multiple times.So if an intervention is carried out, it will indirectly legitimize or give more power to an unelected and arguably unpopular politician. Sadly the DR's politicians and executive powers aren't the brightest and most suffer the same illness many latinamerican countries do, corruption by the bucketload, everyone has a price here.
