Since Monday, Haiti has been sinking into chaos in widespread anti-government protests that have turned violent in parts of Port-au-Prince, as well as rural cities like Petit Goave and Gonaives. The protests had been intensifying for weeks, stoked by the rising cost of living, a scarcity of U.S. dollars, political manipulation and the lack of fuel at the pumps after two suppliers, providing 40% of the market, stopped ordering.
“This incident is simply unacceptable. The looted food was intended to feed nearly 100,000 schoolchildren until the end of the year and provide emergency aid to the most vulnerable families in Haiti,” said Jean-Martin Bauer, WFP country director in Haiti. “WFP is present in Haiti to support vulnerable communities with urgent needs, while strengthening local production and livelihoods through our long-term resilience initiatives.

It would be a non-issue if they would all buy EV motorbikes.
How’s that worhin’ out for them?
Amazing.
The guy 45 from the bottom and twenty-nine from the left:
“Tell ya’ one thing. I’m glad I came out here early today instead of waitin’ for rush hour. All them crowds are out then.”

If you find Waldo you get a free voodoo doll with assorted pins.
That country receives one black eye after the other.
The food stores should have been suffiently guarded.
I can only wonder if this was allowed to happen, so that various government personel get a small percentage to sell at their own selective mark up and to their own selective customers.
Twin photo captions....

Bottom (to clear out the rioters): We are now going to bring the children out and have them point out their fathers. So stay where you are, men. Here come the kids.
A lot worse.
You should be hired to make their tourist ad videos. Have the happy American couple take a deep breath and fall forward, tossing their lunch.
You find the most amazing photos,
This one is worth a thousand words.
We need to pray for the ordinary Haitian folks. They do not deserve what is happening.
The worst part, when it’s over, here come the Clintons.
But wait. The Clinton Foundation can bail them out again.
If there is any money left, after they bailed Haiti out a few years ago. But wait again, the Clinton's spent all the money they collected on themselves. Never mind, at this point in time, what difference does it make.
Its like San Fransisco
What could possibly be the difference?🤔/sarc
Well thank you...;)
Aside from there terribly corrupt government leaders it doesn’t help that Voo-doo worship is highly practiced by most of the people there.
No Haitian baseball players?
They’ve been independent since 1804!
Bottom line: Anything happens to these people while they are in either Puerto Rico or Haiti, the elementary schools, hospitals, emergency rooms, dental and doctors offices, grocery stores, streets jam-packed with cars driven by unlicensed and uninsured drivers, apartment rental units, you name it, within the State of Florida, are completely overrun and overwhelmed.
Yes, it's an intractable mystery. One half of the island is peaceful and productive. The other half of the island is a violent dystopian nightmare, an ecological disaster. If only we knew why.
