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."

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a challenge from 21 states against a Biden administration program that allows 30,000 asylum-seekers into the U.S. from four countries each month.
U.S. District Judge Drew B. Tipton ruled that Texas and 20 other Republican-led states didn’t have legal standing in the lawsuit because they didn’t demonstrate suffered financial harm from the federal program, the Associated Press reported.
The program lets a total of up to 30,000 asylum-seekers enter the U.S. each month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
“In reaching this conclusion, the Court does not address the lawfulness of the Program,” Tipton wrote in his ruling.
The states argued that the program forces them to spend millions of dollars on health care, education, and public safety for the asylum-seekers.

Self rule for 220 years…
Well I guess the clowns are breathing a sigh of relief....
This is not shocking or unexpected. Wild negros make our domestic ones look like choir boys.
They never had a chance. The slaves overthrew their masters. Then they didn't do anything. But they were not educated. So that was (is) a huge problem.
It was a different deal in the Colonies. All the Founding Fathers were highly educated.
If you were in Haiti, how are you going to pick up a book if you can't read it?
Somewhere in the editorial departments of a dozen MSM outlets they’re racking their brains to come up with an angle to blame this on Trump.
Thanks for thread Drew. Linking it in Trump Train (https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4221043/posts?page=1721#1721)
I’ve been to Haiti….what a sad country. Some wonderful people along with the thugs.
Amazing how on the other half of Island is a desirable vacay destination.
Dinner ettiquete in Haiti.
The most honored position is at the head of the table, with the most important guest seated immediately to the right of the host (women to the right of the host and men to the right of the hostess). Start eating only after the host says, “Bon appetit!”
You are not expected to bring anything but it is polite to ask.
This is not satire. Found on women’s website:

Chicago wannabees.
Import them into the US and tell them that white female liberals are delicious.
How long before rejecting cannibalism becomes a hate crime?
Haitian and Marquesan cannibals both speak French. Do they know something we don’t about gourmet cuisine?
how long til DHS flies them here ?
Such a vibrant culture! They are suffering from the legacy of slavery which ended in Haiti in 1805 over 200 years ago. They will need at least another thousand years and 50 generations to recover from the white man’s oppression.
He’s looking for first class hotels. Ran out of veteran’s shelters after evicting them. Maybe some suburban homes with families forced to house the new “friends.”
'cannibalism has been witnessed on the streets as the violence reaches "unprecedented" levels'
You don't suppose some of those gang members might have come across the open US southern border, do you?
Whom can we call to find out?
'The level of violence is unprecedented. The gangs seemingly want to kill as many people as they can.'
No need to worry. I'm sure it couldn't happen here...
What is that thing!?
Isis used to eat the people they killed, too.
These “people” are devils and need to stay in their one hellholes or killed.
