Life in Haiti.

Currently, there is a high level of crime in Haiti. Some areas are worse than others, but there is a very real danger of violent crime everywhere in Haiti, and this includes assault, armed robbery, murder, kidnapping, and rape. The exception is Labadee, an area leased by a cruise ship company. WorldNomads.com website

The major cause of the high crime rate is political instability. On 7 July 2021, President Jovenel Moïse was shot and killed in his private residence in Port-au-Prince.

In Haiti voodoo believers pray and perform animal sacrifices to feed and beckon the spirits. Then they dance until a spirit takes over their bodies and, it is said, heals them or offers advice. The ceremony begins with a Roman Catholic prayer. Then three drummers begin to play syncopated rhythms. Jul 6, 2004 National Geographic website.

Who is the voodoo God?

I’ve been to the cruise ship Haiti. It’s got a wall between it and the real Haiti that would make Trump proud!

Much of Haiti literally smells like a sewer.
