Fed-up Haitians have been speaking out in the streets and on social media about gang rule in the Americas’ poorest nation.

there is no hope for ordinary people when evil runs free.
It takes ordinary people to chop down evil.
Like here in America .. the Politicians are greedy and evil …
America gonna invade
This can ONLY happen due to corruption at the highest levels of Leadership.
Does the CIA think a coup is in oeder?
Should we send Bill Clinton and Sean Penn ?
This weapon does not come from the Dominican Republic. In our country, no weapon is produced. You should say from the United States, Canada, Colombia, and drug trafficking and the Haitian government. The Haitian politicians took that weapon to their territory. You always want to blame the Dominican Republic for their situation that chaos is the result of you as a society. look for solutions stop blaming everyone except yourselves.
I agree with you , I don't the Dominicans giving those people weapons .
This is what wide open borders gets ya...
I just wrote a non hateful comment, just stating facts and they keep erasing it, shame on the platform, they only want one sided argument but will not allow the truth to be exposed in regards to the haitian- dominican problem
Why don’t they resettle in African countries? guns are going in that territory seems like something secretive is going on
The Dominican Republic. What is the Spill over. 200 years and Haiti has been unable to govern itself
DR don’t nothing to do with Haiti
@@karinamacea8846 they are on the same island yet are completely different places...
@@kskeel1124 as a Haitian myself I agree, I see the DR and they’re chilling, but when I see Haiti, I see violence
Dominican Republic does NOT produce weapons, however many things are trafficked and smuggle from many places, of course its easier to blame and point fingers when the elites themselves provide that service for the gangs they hire to protect them and only them, and to extort and abuse their own people
As a Haitian/American. Haitians need to stop blaming everyone Else and start taking some responsibility, stop burning the country and start building. Haitians do struggle in different ways, I understand.
They are asking the whites to stay out of Haiti's business. Stay out and no one will blame them.
Facts they blame everyone else for their problems it's sad
@@blackcommunitynews3941 lol that's very rich coming from a black american...lol Projecting much?? There is an easy solution. Have everyone else stay the hell out of their affairs.
@Marty Yo blah blah blah . I think it’s time for us put things together as best it’s possible . I think we can do better for ourselves. And yes I am Haitian 100%. So I understand what s going on. But we are better than this
@@blackcommunitynews3941 typical black American talking in the comfort of his warm house....u guys are no different from your white masters....
How are they getting military style weapons but you barely have food to eat
Black people

France have the nerve to host this interview as if they are so innocent about what is happening in Haiti.
Notice how they are shot calling several other countries, but not themselves.
But why are they (gangs) committing crimes against their own people 😢
blacks are dont care
They are NOT!! These are the lies told for centuries to justify the killing of Haitian ppl. USA government is the killers that spin the narrative.
@@aivaandari6220 , I understand that, it’s a global issue when it comes to them trying to justify why they need to invade. But who’s filming the interview?
@@manslayer3619 you are on to something
@IvanPlayStation4LiFe SOOOO BEYOND SAD, SOME OF THE SAME THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN SOUTH SUDAN.
The Haitian government is restricted to buy weapons to defend civilians. Yet, these criminals can easily get arms from online from criminal countries. Is this by design?
Duhhh
Arms made in the USA
That’s why the southerners fight for second amendment rights. You can’t disarm criminals by definition; the law doesn’t apply to them.
YES
Philipines dealt with this issue,now El Salvador,Honduras ...are dealing with gangs.Haiti needs to inspire from them.
Amen AuoM the Dao will guide zi/ Wd us! Secsfdv
Philippines is becoming the new Venezuela everything here are becoming the worst at all levels.
it's amazing you can look at 2 countries Haiti and the Dominican Republic on the same island, it's clear that corruption and rule of law can be seen via satellite images. this is the same with north and south Korea. these comparisons can plainly be seen, its due to governance then to where they are located and the resources they have.
Dominican Republic as a country more like a dominion of the US of A, but not Haiti. So the need for the CIA to mess in the countries politics. Can't have the Haitian get in bed with China & their likes. Would likely lead into another Cuban type crisis. Haitians sadly have to bare the brunt of Geo-Politics.
Only simpletons think being on the same island means anything. Different countries with different histories and different relations with the northern master.
In 1825, Haiti Paid France $21 Billion To Preserve Its Independence
@@BENNOEL5 Haiti has never had 21 billion dollars...
You need to make a better comparison, south Sudan and north Sudan
It's very, very scary that you have to live day by day scared that's not good. It sad to know innocent humans are being murdered.
And the actual president participated in the homicide of the one that was in power.... This is a remake of all Latin America's coup with the help of the CIA
It's America and Europe that's behind all this. It's 20 23 in a couple of days. And where is black people can't even see the true evil hand behind all this.
In a country so poor, it seems access to internet, guns and cell phones is not an issue. I bet there are more guns than rice grains in Haiti.
Any country where gang leader could give press conference, is a country lost !!!
Haiti has always been thus, and run by criminals
When a state fails, the people must take the power back and earn their freedom again. It is so important to support the rights of the people and limit the ability of the government to concentrate power without oversight, because earning freedom has a cost that can only be paid in blood.
They will have to cleanse and reform the government and pay the cost to eliminate the gangs and gain their freedom again.
I wish them the best and hope they get the international support they will need.
This is GANGS NOT "THE PEOPLE" ignorant comment
The gangs are the people taking power back
Very well said... may the Lord bless you and keep you
Coming to a state near you….with open boarders ……
God bless Haiti.
NOW France cares about Haiti? o_O "Oh yeah, they speak French. Because they used to be a French colony... But they overthrew their slave masters and declared independence, so we have to vilify them for the next several hundred years."
It's incredible and very sad how some countries can descend into such chaos and lawlessness. 😥
thats because of the USA stealing Haiti resources keeping the ppl in abject poverty. they they talk about are the rebels fighting against the USA and europe. remember mainstream new only tell the story they want you to see. it's called propaganda
The country of Haiti's money built the French Eiffel Tower.
The French are imperialist.
Yeah, France needs to get their act together with their lawlessness an leave Africa. Gonorrhea came from France.
Brandon’s got this country well on its way. Take a look at what’s happened to Democrat cities over the last two years
Yep exactly!!!!like America.🥴
@@keatonbailey1911 I truly hope you get the psychological help you need.
It's a shame, what these guys are doing to their own country.
Haiti should not and cannot depend on the international community to help them out of this grip of the gangs. The solution has to come from within Haiti. Somebody has to get a back one and come up with a rigorous way to eradicate their country from the gang. Phillipines and El Salvador are fighting this problem, and confronting it right now. Haiti can also do the same.
Those that is in their interest for Haiti to remain in chaos will never allow peace to reign in Haiti,they will be the ones whom will discuss about Haiti ,advertise their problems in their media s and in the long run offer to restore peace ,,they will arrive to make it worst and leave again to watch the people kill each other till next time they will.raise alarms about Haiti again
Agree my freind to much corruption that's all
Well what do you suggest. The police are out armed and under staffed and all need military training. But the reason this country don't care is because Haiti has know resources the wicked ones the US Govt want to get their greedy wicked paws on
Well something tells me that once a leader who remotely wants to stop it, is executed or threatened out of the political game. They are simply undersupplied and out-manned. They need outside help if they want to seriously confront the issue properly.
United States won't let them do it,They love to see haiti in that condition.We have been like this for years and years nothing ever get done about it..??
Very in depth reporting excellence 👏

You dont know your history
I wonder if the color of their skin has anything to do with the world's apathy towards Haiti? And the fact that they're one of the only former slave states to successfully rebel against their overseers?
Drinking too much cool-aid.
I was a missionary in Haiti in the late 80's... real action was needed then!
People like you are literally part of the reason Haiti is like this now. Missionaries destroy cultures and create distrust.
Abandon Voodoo
The Irony Is That The Good Lord May Have Mercy On The Haitians - But The Haitians Wouldn't Show Any Mercy On Themselves.

As a Haitian myself, this is hurt breaking, I don’t live I Haiti but this hurt to see that corruption can hurt so many people
Well I hope they protect Miami well. We don’t need more violence here in America. We have enough problems.
Why don’t Haitians move to African countries?
@@blad89s65 i dont know
@@blad89s65 i agree
Suppressed authorities and arms sales to the black market ,equals a disadvantage to the government authorities
Uncle scam creates unrest for this exact purpose, iran, china, ukraine, haiti, they are busy fomenting discontent for one reason, to sell arms. This report plainly said, the black market arms are coming from the US...do we need it any clearer? This was created by the gun sellers, so they could sell guns and ammo...a harmless romp
The citizens of Haiti have to rise up and protect one another at this point is their only hope!

The citizens of haiti are murdering each other
@@spamgarbage6999 The people that are doing the killing aren't civilized citizens they are terrorists
@@spamgarbage6999 That's bad.
Velina why is it ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSES JOB TO DO SOMETHING, but never YOURS?
The real concern is that Haiti have to take responsibility for Haiti not the USA we can’t solve the world problems
Wow praying for the people of Haiti 🇭🇹 🙏
What catalysed the creation of the gangs...who benefitted from the formation of these gangs. Who is funding them?
@@lk3144 you smell
Yup, blame the US. The country descended into chaos when the UN peacekeepers left. Because Haiti has no army or national guard and the police are incapable of dealing with violent gangs. Bring back either the army or the peacekeepers and there will be peace.
@@rexsceleratorum1632 NO- blame the young black mlaes who are acting like savages killing raping and brutalizing their OWN people.
Satanists, freemasons
@@rowyourboat5361 I was being sarcastic
Unbelievable what criminals can achieve, or what they think is achieving! Shameful
The gangs are funded by external colonial forces who intends to keep Haiti in this state. Its all a punishment that started the day Haiti fought for independence from European powers. The same ones who built there foundations on slavery, that include the US.
How are they getting these weapons?
Are you kidding? They got them from us. The U.S. leadership is happy to not only sell guns to Haiti, but also watch the country destroy itself in 4K HD with the very weapons they sold them!
@@williamyoung9401 EXACTLY!
Haitian government and army will tell us the gang are so powerful more than them?, where their weapons come from? how they inter the country?, gang be strong than government?
Haiti’s leaders have token the ppls money. So I think that’s where ppl need to start. Then the Clinton foundation and the missing money after the earthquake.
I cant believe that France dares to act like they aren't directly responsible for the conditions and corruption of that island. After French and the US intervention how dare they
Pay Haiti back France. France and the US need to give that money back.
Definitely not the fault of the current gangs. Not at all.
If USA cannot solve the gang problem in Los Angeles ,why bother? France should shoulder this problem not USA
It's all US and DR fault, of course.
@@mikicerise6250 i hope you are being sarcastic 😂
@@dkingdarling5673 it is their fault though moron
🤣🤣exactly. And They want to blame the USA but it's themselves that's the issue. It's your society that's at the forefront of your lawlessness. The USA can't fix you if you all can't fix yourselves.
Velina Elysée Charlier was so well-spoken. I'd love to hear more from her!
I hear it over and over again! The question is, why would Haiti become a stable prosperous nation?
You mean after 200+ year US/French imposed embargo, and then NAFTA destroying local farming and food markets buy with cheap mechanized produced food? NAFTA did the exact same to Mexico, thus our need to build a wall.
Never. Not when outsiders are mining
@@ahines8032 There is nothing left to mine anymore.
im sure thoose weapons the gang have come from ukraine via usa,bought by great reset
With Respect Looking from the outside and knowing the history. The country need a revolution to clean the house. By the people for the people can only get better not worst with the aid of the AU not the UN.
I am A South Sudanese, Africa. My heart bleed for Haiti
That’s a great debate about Haiti things like that makes me cry & happy at the same time we can do better!
Give back Haiti's coerced reparations to France.Perhaps the Gangs will inherit a sense of Justice.
The United States Has Helped Haiti Many Times.
Helped create chaos you mean? Please look at their history in Haiti starting from their unwillingness to trade with them until the 1860s because they dared to be the first free black republic, followed by their occupation in the 1930s and several destructive economic policies under the Clinton years and beyond
Right! We sell them guns all the time! What is the problem? (sarcasm)
Hati does need world collaboration for military intervention
Haiti doesn't has oil reserve, so US or Nato is not interested
Do Haiti has an Army? Very sad for innocent civilians living under fear!!! Haiti needs military intervention!
They do have but yet the army has been on the sidelines. So sad!
Eye opening. Thanks.
😢
it is
actually, maybe there is no difference between the govt and the gangs. Taxes = protection money, public servants =gangs and we really don't which is better for many ppl
For that to be true, that would require the whole country to be gangsters.
Maybe in Russia, in the free world public servants are accountable, the corruption is low enough so we can tell how the taxes are spent.
@@samsonsoturian6013 well one of my buddies from Haiti explained to me some years ago that alot of politicians and wealthy businessmen in Haiti are funding these gangs.
@@Zest3685 The Russians aren't that bad. To each other.
Yeah, get rid of government! Then we can be just like Haiti! It makes so much sense! o_O
Can’t do it, let them solve themselves.
Agreed. Black women need to stop birthing these demons.
Wach ya. those gangs gone wild almighty god.😳😞😔
It is very sad to see the direction Haiti is heading to, the whole thing is lack of leadership as a result of high-level corruption. The problem in Haiti is dated as far back as Colonia era and the neglect of the USA which is a close-door country. The problem in Haiti is not for Haitians alone! The country needs urgent and genuine support from friendly countries. We are concerned because Haiti is African country in diaspora. African Union must voice out for urgent assistance for Haiti. We are all Haitians!
Cuba, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica are all closer than the US. Ask them.
Product of the West(British, America and France)imperialism....!
@@omyhaby1912 That's right! All those countries stay out. The UN will fix it without assistance from those imperialistic countries. The question is when?
Since the beginning of your independence from France there’s being internal problems between yourselves many presidents have been killed over there please understand that the situation has to be solve internally and please stop blaming the Dominican Republic for your problems l think they have done enough to help Haiti they are almost more than two millions of Haitians in there and are suffering all kinds of problems and crimes some people are being killed
Dominican Republic does NOT produce weapons, however many things are trafficked and smuggle from many places, of course its easier to blame and point fingers when the elites themselves provide that service for the gangs they hire to protect them and only them, and to extort and abuse their own people
Wow 😲 in this civilized time's
One of the places never to visit.
Haiti 🇭🇹 will rise I believe.
Uh oh! Angry black people with guns! Time to send in the marines! (sarcasm)
Yeah ,, lol why would any country get involved if there is nothing gain out of that..
@@jayfitt4023 bro the country is divided bc of other countries have you not learn history maybe there’s a lot to gain bc some nations are still benefiting from that division of Haitians some are making billions from Haiti rn.
@@footballvision5098 oh please billions?? How?
The will of the country is the leadership and no to curruption
This what happens when a country doesn't allow there citizens to be armed
It’s not happening in Canada, Australia, Japan, or even The Bahamas or Jamaica and numerous other countries so your comment is a lie within itself
That's nonsense! There are dozens of large and small nations, rich and poor nations, nations of all stripes which do not have an over-interpreted 2nd Amendment which provides for lax gun laws - and, in fact, have strict gun control laws, which are not in this sort of situation. Your comment was based on an utterly ridiculous and totally unfounded assertion. That sort of false statement is really not helpful in a serious discussion of the horrendous situation in Haiti and what can be done to ameliorate it.
you say while the video is about armed citizens
Power to the people
Exactly that US made Haiti poor by stealing its resources.. And the people had it and now we're seeing a bunch of propaganda a so the US can invade under propaganda pretenses
A change of government won't make the gangs disappear.
Finally you are reporting about Haiti violence!!!
With Overwhelming Force
France with the propaganda against their former colony, such a tragedy
This lady brilliant
She’s not she gave no answers just blame lmao
It's always somebody else's fault isn't it.
If we going deed then its France's fault and America respectively
It would appear that one problem we have in common is "Parets rule our country" by John in the USA
The Haitian govt should seek the help of the AU ( African Union) forces to restore order in Haiti.The UN forces are irrelevant.
The AU rejected Haiti’s bid for membership, so there’s your answer
@@DannyBlancoHall Even though Haiti couldn't join the AU,it still has an Observer Status.The AU set up a Directorate Of Citizens and Diaspora Organization ( CIDO), to look into the issues affecting the African diaspora,though it's finding,and recommendation is not out yet.Recently General Olusegun Obasanjo,a former President of Nigeria,and Uhuru Kenyatta,a former president of Kenya, successfully hammered out a truce between Ethiopia and The Tigray Region,to end the bloody 2 yr civil war,and like President Obasanjo said, ".... African solution to African problems..".
Africa has its own problems to deal with and is in no shape to help Haiti. China is probably the only power that could assist Haiti.
Why did they reject it?
@@pinkclouds8291 Because it is not in Africa.
El problema es que Haití es una raza que ellos no se dejan ayudar son muy orgullosos
Wonder where they got the weapons? 🤔
Where,did they get the Guns from.
Dominican Republic does NOT produce weapons, however many things are trafficked and smuggle from many places, of course its easier to blame and point fingers when the elites themselves provide that service for the gangs they hire to protect them and only them, and to extort and abuse their own people
Widlore Mérancourt really impresses me.
Everywhere in the world they go its the same thing. America will be the next Haiti.
Moved my heart when he said, 200 years and Haiti still hasn't find one friend......I stand with the people of Haiti
They literally murdered and massacred every white person on the island in a bid for independence from France. Far as I’m concerned they wanted to go it alone and no nation is obligated to recognize or acknowledge or do business with that island or it’s people. For being former slave descendants you’d think they would have th at work ethic to rebuild their nation. They don’t want that. Haiti has always wanted help but refused to play nice. Tough love
Go help your friend
@@princessdaisy5321 if I could, I really really would

Same place that has he blacks get their guns to kill each other the White man!! In Chicago Ill!!
You guys need to invite the leader of the gang and the leaders of respective positions and have a dialogue of understanding of moving forward
It's time for change total global chaos is now a reality because of failed government policies

This is just a eye catching news storry to these networks
Nothing more, no body care, sad but true.
Haiti has had two main hurdles for the last 200 years. 1. The mulatto ideologues completely disregarded access to education for the masses 2. Former European slave nations (France together with the United States) stifle Haiti as early as February 1806. And it has been downhill ever since. Really. Read my essay titled "Roadmap to Haiti's Next Revolution"
This destruction has been planned since the president murdered-with USA involvement said HELL NO to the shitshot vaccine.
