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.

Joe Biden wants in on 10% of that action.
The stories out in the media right now about Haiti are because the US and Canada have already committed to an international force to intervene.
This is your psychological preparation by the mainstream media for what is to happen next.
So glad these AIDS ridden low IQ savages are coming to the US...
Fixing Haiti would involve mostly-white U.S. troops killing a HUGE number of back gang bangers. No US politician wants to see pics of piles of black bodies all over the internet. Pass.
Eliminate all foreign aid. Make it necessary for Haitians to kill off their own criminals in order to survive.
So like… pretty much what’s happening in the big cities here?
Trump was right again.....another example of a third world S$!^ hole country.
They played the perfect victims of the border patrol who rode with long “mexican” reins. Most Snowflakes thought they were Indiana Jones bullwhips. Snowflakes are easily confused when they’re not poking their cellphones.
Once a symbol of hope?
News to me.
3rd World Cesspool.
Should be a rich island paradise.
Press on cue to get the us marines there. Happens every few years. We always seem to bring back Haitians in the deal.
Don’t care. Stay there.
L
LOL!
When was Haiti ever a symbol of hope?
Just when I think I’m having a bad day.
Early in the 19th century, they had a slave revolt. They killed the whites and blacks took over the government. Black people! Running their own country!!! It was going to be awesome!!!!!!
And here we are.
” ‘Papa Doc’ Duvalier “
Haitians still think turning to Voodoo will solve their issues I see. Enjoy your Rape Colony...Haiti!
America’s future.
It was always a symbol of hope as in “I hope it gets better”...
"I hope I never have to live there."
