Haiti has been in the grips of a renewed crisis ever since heavily-armed gangs formed an alliance this February and forced Ariel Henry to step down as prime minister. Haiti has long been plagued by gang violence, with armed groups fostered in the shadows by power-hungry political and economic elites. But now more than 80 percent of Haiti’s capital is controlled by the alliance of armed groups, and they’re vowing they won’t lay down their arms unless they get a seat at the negotiating table. Left battling the gangs is Haiti’s under-resourced police, which is less well-armed than the gangs and often accused itself of rampant corruption. FRANCE 24’s Catherine Norris Trent and Roméo Langlois went on patrol with UTAG, a specially formed anti-gang unit of Haiti’s police. They bring us this exclusive report from Port-au-Prince.

Most of the weapons used by the gangs come from the United States by smuggling. The weapons and equipment of the national police of Haiti also come from the United States. Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat, acknowledged that 97% of the firearms recovered in the Dominican Republic are coming from the United States, and that the majority of them end up in Haiti. The country’s security situation continues to deteriorate. Yet they want us to believe that the police are not sufficiently well armed and equipped to fight the gangs.

the moral hazard of helping a country like Haiti is clear. A congressman's daughter-in law was killed last week, and she was with a religious charity in Haiti... all of these charities and NGOs are providing basic needs that the government fails to provide, but then there is a vacuum because the government feels as if it does not need to provide those services. In the end, it is hard to justify donating money to what seems like a lost cause

@thealienwatcher540 3 месяца назад

@@jbrudertTheir Gov't doesn't have the ability to provide. Lucrative businesses and fertile lands are controlled by gangs who collect taxes from civilians starving their gov'ts ability to govern. Haiti was brought down by it's previous past Political establishment which gave arms to civilian gangs to keep the military in check of being overthrown in a coup. This is typical of African leaders. Always wanting to stay in Power till death do them part. Now those gangs having tasted Power eliminated the president which led to civil war and they want a share.

@jumptoit3812 3 месяца назад

Activists in the diaspora call the gangs “paramilitary”. The gangs all fight each other as well as terrorizing innocent civilians. It’s a chaotic scramble for power. The elites destabilize, fund the gangs, blame foreign governments and have each other assassinated in an attempt to take power. The poorest of the poor just want peace and stability. The activists claim any foreign forces will be “occupiers”. The victims are the public, who simply want to live a good life. The poorest welcome foreign forces, to at least bring some stability. The gangs are made of bad people, no doubt, but even they are pawns in a bigger game. They’re powerless. This is an over simplification, but accurate. There is no justice in Haiti.
