Haiti in chaos: Capital is taken over by gangs who murder and kidnap at will - with families forced to listen to hostages being gang-raped until they pay ransoms of up to $1million
Daily Mail ^ | 12/05/22 | Chris Pleasance

It was once a symbol of hope. Haiti: the first black republic and first Caribbean state to declare independence. Now, it symbolises only death and despair.

The poorest nation in the Western hemisphere, devastated by disasters both natural and man-made, plagued by disease, stalked by hunger, and now over-run by gangs.

There has effectively been no government here since President Jovenel Moise was assassinated last year, a crime which continues to go unpunished.

Into that power vacuum have moved hundreds of highly organised and extremely violent criminal groups which often have links to politicians and police - meaning they are free to kidnap, murder and commit atrocities such as gang rapes at will.

Victims have told of being forced to listen to their loved ones being raped until they pay ransoms, which can reach up to $1million.

In one ten-day orgy of violence in the capital Port-au-Prince back in July, 300 people were killed and at least 50 women and girls were subjected to rapes - many of which happened in front of their young children.

One woman recalled how four men raped her in front of her three-year-old daughter, with the young girl stabbed when she wouldn't stop crying.

Haiti's gang problem is nothing new, but a confluence of recent disasters has caused it to become much more widespread and dangerous.

Many of the country's gangs were first organised by political leaders such Francois 'Papa Doc' Duvalier who created his own paramilitary group to protect himself following and attempted coup in 1958.

“Trump was right again.....another example of a third world S$!^ hole country.”

Haiti’s status is far beyond shiiit hole. It has a voodoo curse hanging over it.

I wonder if conan o’brien will be visiting haiti with a camera crew again in order to show what a “tropical paradise” it is. You know, just like he did when Trump was president.

[I think America has seen it’s better days]

It has. Unfortunately.

Too many in our population are obsessed with Global Warming and Woke agendas. They will never figure out why it just keeps getting worse and worse. After all, they keep voting for the most “progressive” Democrat they can find.

Wakanda is fiction. Haiti is reality.

Wonder if their target audience has noticed yet.

The population has learned how to vote themselves the purse.

No fiscal restraint whatsoever up in D.C.. So called leaders worship the almighty $$$.

Cloward-Piven strategy has been enacted and full steam ahead. Bankrupt our economic model to usher in socialism/totalitarianism.

Oh well. Pop open a brew and enjoy the ride.

Oh yea, no question about it. I would submit though, the dismantling of our nation is accelerating.

Both are absolutely terrible. That’s all you need to know.
Also, don’t ever go to either.

Never had any plans to and there are many other places much higher on my list of places to visit than those two countries.
