“now the world’s most dangerous city”... ???
Hasn’t it always been the worlds most dangerous city?
Ever since the slaves revolted in the late 18th century Haiti has been a complete sh*thole.
It wasn’t too bad before the Duvaliers took over, there was a middle class, mostly lighter-skinned mulattoes, but Papa and Baby Doc and the Tonton Macoutes took care of that.
And we turned a blind-eye, because the Duvaliers kept the Cubans and Soviets out of Haiti, and that was all that mattered.
If you look up the demographics of Haiti, the problem becomes obvious. When the country was “founded” in the early 1800’s, the course was set for the events happening today.

My lily white mother was a frequent tourist there and to other Caribbean islands in the late 60’s-early 70’s. She said it was a delightful place, and she felt safer on the streets of Port au Prince than in any American city. Struck me as odd, as you only tend to hear bad things.
