Haiti is "in a state of chaos" as brutal gang members attack police officers with machetes, a journalist in Port-au-Prince has claimed.
Violence has plagued the country's capital of Port-au-Prince for years, but the situation has escalated drastically as gangs demand that Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry resign. A state of emergency has been declared in the country after gangs attacked two prisons, setting many criminals free. It is now thought that 80% of the Haitian capital is controlled by these gangs.
Describing the violence in the country, a journalist said that cannibalism has been witnessed on the streets as the violence reaches "unprecedented" levels, reports the Express US. Speaking anonymously, they said: "Haiti is living in a total chaotic situation right now. It is total chaos everywhere, especially in the capital where I am right now.
"Haiti has a leader, Prime Minister Ariel Henry, but he is not inside the country right now. In the meantime you have gangs waging full attacks on key institutions.
"You also have attacks on police stations. The officers were in there for three hours crying for help, and after that, we saw images of officers being cut by machetes being shared on social media. The gangs are heavily armed with guns from the US, but they are also equipped with high-level technology like drones.
"The level of violence is unprecedented. The gangs seemingly want to kill as many people as they can. They are in a fear campaign where they want to appear as murderous and as violent as possible."
After the interview, the journalist sent a message reading: "Cannibalism is not widespread, but definitely an indication of the worsening situation. It definitely happens on a few occasions."
There's a power struggle among gangs in Haiti, but one of the most feared figures in Port-au-Prince's underworld is Jimmy Cherizier.
Known as "Barbeque", this ex-cop recently stated that the people were taking "destiny into our own hands". Haiti's stand-in Prime Minister, Henry, faces widespread anger for his failure to put the gangs in check.
Cherizier has made threats to seize power in Haiti. When asked if this could happen, the journalist said: "I don't know if he can take control of the country, but what we know is he is highly influential. He is probably the most notorious gang member in Haiti."
What's not to love about Haiti?
Eagle Pass here we come......
Sounds like the place to have a destination Wedding!
The gangs should invite the Clinton Foundation over for dinner.
I think Bill and Hillary should visit to check up on the work of their foundation. You know, go around and talk to the man on the street so to speak.
Randall Robinson claimed that the Katrina people in the Superdome resorted to cannibalism after 3 days.
“Randall Robinson (July 6, 1941 – March 24, 2023) was an American lawyer, author and activist, noted as the founder of TransAfrica. He was known particularly for his impassioned opposition to apartheid, and for his advocacy on behalf of Haitian immigrants and Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide.[5] Due to his frustration with American society, Robinson emigrated to Saint Kitts in 2001.”
Yes, please.
How soon can JoeB get them into the US?
Where is ‘that other white meat’ aka Sean Penn?
White supremacist colonialism continues to exert its influence on Haiti.
Getting out in front on the starvation thing. Better than five ton pallets of 25 years old surplus MRE’s raining down on your shack. Just eat your problems away.
Hope Biden has enough brains,,........crap, already answered what hoped for. I wonder if the bar-q is made wth jerk sauce.
There goes the neighborhood. I would move out if there was cannibalism in the area.
Now that’s “spirit cooking”!!!!
Please source your quote.
I know you're joking but the last white colonialists in Haiti were eaten by the Haitians in 1791.
Cannibalism is a long and cherished tradition in Haiti.
We don't talk about it here but there's a greater than zero chance that your Uber driver in Miami has dined on human flesh.
....just a little in my throat.
Why are we heavily arming Haitian gangs to spread chaos there? (From the article)
