In a brief statement on Saturday, El Roi Haiti, a faith-focused humanitarian organization, identified the woman as Alix Dorsainvil, the group’s community nurse and the wife of the group’s director. She and her child were taken from El Roi’s campus near the capital on Thursday, according to the statement.

No further details have been made public.

“We are aware of reports of the kidnapping of two U.S. citizens in Haiti,” a U.S. State Department official told The Times by email, adding that U.S. officials were working with their Haitian counterparts and declining to comment further on the matter...

This woman was a schoolmate of two of my daughters at a Christian school in NH. Please pray for her, her daughter, and their safe return.

And please, create your own threads for "buy the ticket. take the ride" comments, that's not why I'm posting this article.

The only way to fix Haiti is to put it under emergency management of Congress use all military means to keep order. There is no amount of goodness that will fix this.

The only way to fix Haiti is to

Move all the Haitians to Cuba and let the DR take over the whole Island.

Why give it to DR?
Let’s see what whites can do. Reparations to whites for murder.

Haiti is pretty much the ultimate of what Scott Adams said. They murdered all of the French colonists and mulattoes 220 years ago. The Clinton thing is an obvious grift as there’s no way any charity foundation could ever fix it. Anyone choosing to live there at this point practically deserves what they get. There is no excuse now not to know better.

Even in the 1950s, Haiti had a vibrant middle class, mostly of mulattoes. But Papa Doc started took care of that, and all the wealth fell into the hands of a few black families closely associated with the Duvaliers.

Stupid white Christians think they can save the world and bad things won’t happen, especially women.
Then tough men with guns have to risk their lives.
Go to Haiti or Africa, you’re on your own.

FYI - many of the surviving whites went to Cuba. I worked with two descendants of French Haitians who escaped to Cuba and stayed.
