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

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.

Saw where average IQ in Haiti is 69. Need an IQ of 70 to be competent for trial in the U.S.

So they can't be stopped for Driving While Haitian? Or even home invasions or abduction of women out jogging.

fkn people are animals...

Stumbled across a video on Twitter recently. I wish I could find it.

A dude in Haiti just eating some other dude's charred leg that had been roasting in a street bonfire.

He's just picking meat off of it and shoving it in his mouth like it's a spare rib or something.

Yep. Animals.

I am sure that James Biden will be doing a Clinton. That is, fundraiser for Haiti that goes into Biden Family pockets.

Top photo of Haiti was accidentally used by Lori Lightfoot to show tourists sites in Chicago. Somebody noticed there were no gang shooting victims so it couldn’t be Chicago.

The other half of the island, the Dominican Republic is doing okay. I believe that country has a wall at the border.

I had always hoped they could annex Hati but

I am sure the negatives would so far outweigh the benefits

no one would even dare to suggest it these days

with their luck the infection would

spread to the entire Hispaniola island
