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."
In the South Seas it is known as LONG PIG.
Is that stuff raw or well done?
"Guess who's coming for dinner."

That is sad. It might have helped them if they had some hard foreign cash producing tourist resorts there. They could focus on protecting those and the cash flow from.
Might have given them a base to start from in rebuilding the rest of the country. .
” As for his claims about cannibalism, see here.”
You should read your links. He was challenged on his claim and subsequently retracted that claim.
I suggest you also do the same.
Irrelevant. Fact is he made the claim, and I don’t recall you saying anything about that.
The moderates on Haiti propose limiting cannibalism to one meal a day.
;-)

The Donner party would like a word with those crazy hatians
Pity the decent people living in Haiti.
“What quote?”
————Your #6-————
“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.”
Not surprised at all....they still practice Voodoo rites and nonsense.
Think of the Dominican Republic, the other half of the island, not like it at all, though not pure in the intents of its conquerors.
Did you hear the one about the cannibal who passed his brother in the jungle.
The problem in the long run for stories like this:
Cannibalism was witnessed on the streets, yet we have obtained zero video evidence.
Obviously from Wikipedia but just google Robinson’s name for his bio.
You don’t know who he was?

Salt water negroes.
White supremacist colonialism continues to exert its influence on Haiti.

Not to worry, soon Haiti will be in good hands, just like in South Africa. /s
