Realistically Haiti collapsed over a year ago. After their president got assasinated it was full blown anarchy across most of the country.
Another 'thanks America' situation. First they coup'd then they assassinated and expected the country to just fit into place.
No shit..
A collapse implies a structure, be it physical or metaphorical, failing. I'd argue that Haiti NEVER had any structure to begin with.

Ecuadorian here small correction:
Our crisis was not strictly nation-wide. It happened mostly at port cities on the coast, like mine. Quito, the capital, is in the highlands, and didn't really see much trouble. It's always been our coast which has been aa hellhole
is it safe to visit there?

Like the Dominican president said at the UN this year:
"Either we fight together to save Haiti or we will fight alone to protect the Dominican Republic."
I mean yeah you should defend you OWN country.
If only our politicians in the US had the same attitude. They obviously mean they will defend their border. Meanwhile Democrat's here are rubbing their hands together with the idea of bringing millions here.

@@dooooodesesYou know, sometimes solutions are possible where everyone wins when you proactively help things improve.
Seriously Hati history is just like “and then it got worse”.
Exactly, Haiti has been a never ending slow motion train wreck ever since the French left in 1804 , at no time in that 200 years has Haiti EVER been " doing fine" on their own, they have lurched from catastrophe to catastrophe of their own making for two full centuries.

I remember donating back during the earthquakes around a decade ago. Glad to see that money has gone to complete waste.
Take it as a lesson to never give foreign nations your family's bread. Globalism is foolish.
I remember NOT donating. 😁 I feel proud of myself now.
Red Cross kept most of the funds, the Haitian government never received the money
Who exactly did you donate too? If its the Red Cross or any other of those organizations, no shit it didn't go to anything.
You never know, it probably helped a family in need at the time. Don’t let these other ignorant comments fool you, there’s nothing wrong with helping others
Its always strange when youtubers say stuff like "we warned about this". Warned who? Me? Wtf am I gonna do.
right?? 😅
Yeah and as if I would even care enough to help some random island in the Caribbean when China and their armed forces are literally breathing down our necks and my country has it's own political instability, like please shut up you "experts", we have so much in our plate right now and you dare to lump us in the group who should feel guilty because we didn't care? Why the hell would we care for Haiti when we have our own problems? What do THEY want us to do? Nothing works, I mean, you see a lot of people whine and cry about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and yet the bombs still haven't stopped dropping, it is pointless, especially if it's wars about foreigners you never met in your entire life.

Yeah I know right!? "We warned about this" Damn, maybe if I wasn't such a knucklehead I could have saved Haiti.
@@quirinoguy8665It’s also extremely poor character to think “Who are these people suffering? My perspective is more important because…” because what…?

CZcams is a stable with how many high horses are ridden, wtf.
14:30 "The majority of Haiti's elites are connected to the gangs"
I'd argue that you could drop the "connected to" from that sentence.
Perfect point
They are the gangs.

They act the same in FL etc. Maybe it’s time for taking some responsibility for their actions as grown men 🥴 but of course no man ever wants to show accountability. They should most def stay there. Other countries have already enough destructive ppl

Right? I keep expecting one day I'll log on to my own channel and find that Simon has stepped in on a Monday to do a video and give me the day off.
Hey im an old watcher of the channel. And I wanted to make sure suggestion. Can you do a list of all the levels of travel advisory along with the corresponding countries and why. With examples?
I've worked in Haiti in roads and bridge projects with international funding.
Parallel to Infrastructure projects, well audited by the lending banks, there's a multi-million dollar NGO operation that has turned Haiti in the Meca of foreign aid fishing. The country is infested by "NGO officials, experts and consultants, who live a luxurious life in well protected residences, travel first class and benefit from the resources they get by exploting the misery of the population.
One see the extreme poverty, the misery, and the dumps, and wanders where all the billions in foreign aid have gone.
Sounds like every NGO to me.
Sounds like “Palestine” to me. Where’s all these billions to show for it? Oh right……it’s used to buy weapons.
We have a similar problem in Mexico, just instead of foreign aid is the country's IBP
I've been there. No way those house's defenses on the Mountain are enough to save them if the gangs want to make them pay for their sins.
@@donnydarko7624 The NGO people are very generous with the power, both official and subverted. They bring millions and some of it always cascades down to the thugs. Those gangs do not mess with the foreign aid merchants because its good money coming to the country, and if they cause an stampeed of NGOs, agencies and institutions, they loose the funds.
They both need each other.

Remember "Haiti is great already"? Behold, the greatness in question.
Haiti was on the road to this destination since the 1980s. Perhaps earlier, but that's when I first became aware of it.
Saying Haiti collapsed is implying there was a time where Haiti was stable in the first place.
It was pretty ok during the Haitian Empire days, and then it was... stable during Papa Doc. Granted, neither would last very long, but still.
But didn't you know? Back when Trump called it a shithole the MSM defended it saying Haiti was already great, no need to change it!
@@rRekkoNo one ever said that

@@tuckerseifert3977actually yeah they did lol they even made shirts about it.
I hate the sad look whenever i see my one Haitian-American friend, he was trying to start a school in his hometown just a few years ago before everything went to hell.
honestly at this point we should start saying everything went to haiti
The fact that they are fighting themselves is insane
They are blacks... Why are you surprised
No different from street shooting in the US or any other country
The best thing to do is support the Dominican Republic in a complete take over of the Island and integrate the two countries. The gangs and the politicians would oppose it, but the common people just want food, water and shelter. They don't care who's in charge.
The common people would oppose it. Haiti has a strong will and still a strong will to remain independent and solve their own issues. They have been figgters since their independence. Nothing can conquer them unless they are on being in flames as they shed blood
"The point is not that Moise was a criminal but that, effectively, Haiti's entire elite is."
Small world.
I really have to wonder if the "elites" that initially spawned the gangs, still have any meaningful connection too them, and more importantly, power over them. The gangs seem like evil genie's that have wholly escaped their bottles. Why would they care or take direction from some rich asshole who funded them a couple years ago?
Not saying those elites aren't culpable for this, they are, just that going to them and hoping those elites can somehow reign in the monsters they spawned seems like a fools errand, the monsters have outgrown their masters.
and it's err under black rule...
@@The_Reality_Filter They/them will always refer to animals who tear everything apart no matter how good or bad things are. Those folks can't help themselves.
@@Agiantpansy who exactly are these "elites"...no names, no faces, no nothing...the UN troops were in Haiti r**ing the local girls.
Sounds like America
It baffles me how *one island* vertically cut in half, with *no* natural land barriers, can have the eastern part (Dominican Republic) fully operational, and the western part (Haiti) now fully disintegrated.
Check Haiti's history with France. The Dominican Republic was controlled by the Spanish and they left peacefully but the French demanded a huge amount of compensation or their warships would attack the rebels that fought their French slave owners. Haiti got screwed ten different ways by the West. czcams.com/video/KpOtkVRnH54/video.html&ab_channel=CasualScholar
The dominican Republic wasn't pillaged like Haïti though. Haïti had to pay France an insane amount each year and it ruined them.
Only one half of that island was saddled with absolutely crippling reparations just after being founded.
Look at the ethnic differences between the two halfs and you get your answer.
One side was placed on economic embargo for over 100 years, forced to pay reparations to its owners, and is nearly stripped bare of its natural resources. The other side actually got help and not placed on economic embargo for 100 years and wasn’t stripped bare. Especially considering there’s a fuxkin gold mine in the DR.👀
This is so sad. I hope the best for these people.

Oh, I met Jovenel moise when I was 7 years old at a family vacation in the restaurant beach hotel. He was serving at our table and that was the last time I saw him. Haiti has beautiful mountains, but very bad roads, no built-in ventilation, and the houses were close together.
I have no idea how my dad worked in that place. Environment was safe back in my time.
Nice coverage but the Sss the mic is picking up is distracting
It's been bad for far longer than a year. This didn't happen overnight. I used to live in SoFla and sent a lot of clothing to Haiti (reselling clothing is a big business and helps people earn money to eat). Then, the people I knew with family in Haiti kept saying its getting worse.
True things like that have their origin of problem so far back that ppl will forget most of the time
My husband's family is from Haiti. Can confirm; this has been a much longer time coming than just a single year.
I live in South Florida right now and almost everybody that I know that's from Haiti has quit their job in the past few weeks to try to focus on getting their family members out of Haiti
Reselling clothes kills factory business, same situation in Africa.
It's been bad since Haiti fought for their independence and the world sided with France that now Haiti owes them some stupid debt for just fighting for their freedom.
I am currently in Haiti. You guys have no idea. It's terrible my family and I are terrified that any day now gangs will invade our neighborhood and ransack it. Also I have to mention that I am Haitian which adds a level of complexity to evacuating.

I mean, anarchists are pro gun. Most haitian civilians are not armed, thus the easy oppression by gangs. Not exactly the best answer.

Florida is part of the richest country in the world. Of course that would be the Haitians' first choice.

Haiti's political turmoil started long ago. Let's not forget that military leaders of Haiti's revolution, once liberated, did what so many others have done throughout history, fought each other for control. And, the violent fight for control has been going on ever since.

It is so refreshing to hear a commentary that simply lays out all the facts and then admits that it had no facile or partisan solution to push.
Agreed, there's a lot of extremely bad taste and low-resolution schadenfreude from conservatives re: Haiti.
They're too cowardly to say so outright but it's as if rhey think Haiti is proof positive that black people will always fail

is there a reliable internet and electricity connection?
What's life like for you?
Well it's really hard in the sense that food is not as easily available which jacks up the prices of even basic things as drinkable water. restaurants, schools, even churches are mostly closed as well as most state offices. The Streets are mostly empty, traffic is practicly non existent and even you have to leave your house you're always filled with this sense of impending doom,
You don't feel safe anywhere not even in your own home, because more often then not you find used bullet in your yard your roof et sometimes People catch stray bullets in their own bed through their Windows, other have to leaves their home with wife and children without even knowing were to go effectively becoming homeless, dead bodies everywhere so much so that the population strated to become numb, to make à long strory short we live day by day because we know for a fact that we might not live to see tomorrow.

Shocked I am I’m so shocked I totally didn’t see this coming
Prisons were, indeed, ransacked and that surprised me because I didn’t know that Haiti actually had any working prisons.
Did you know the day the Gang 5Secong (Izo) that no one came to work besides 6 officers? Haiti working ones the only issue is conditions of them 😢
Seems like the entire country is turning into a prison.
“Working” isn’t the word to use to describe their prison system. People were locked up for 10+ years without a trial. Many of them were innocent, but couldn’t get out. They were literally piled up on top of each other, 40 to a cell and sleeping on top of one another on the floor, and dying of diseases. Many died from illnesses before they could prove their innocence. When you understand the back story, it’s no surprise at all that they burned the prison down. I honestly think it was for the better. It looked like hell on earth. What’s even worse, is I don’t know if life outside of the prison is any better now.
Or anything worth stealing.
That’s because most people only hear about Haitis over exaggerated poverty and don’t care enough to search for themselves. Outside of the capital and the surrounding areas Haiti doesn’t look that bad especially the “Okap” area but most wouldn’t know this
The Dominican Republic is now in a TON of trouble due them being neighbors

@@SarahC2
Yes they have the resources and are also trained by the American military. And btw I hope you don’t mean resources to take in the people of that failed neighbouring state. The policy of forcibly deporting Haitians back and fortifying DRs border wall should continue.
@@cryptarisprotocol1872I disagree with that last part simply because there will be a lot of people fleeing the country, and DR is really the only place they can go. Forcing them to go back is essentially a death sentence for them and doing nothing but putting a band aid on a bullet wound.
The only real solution would be DR taking over the entirety of Hispaniola… but I’m not sure they have the capability to do that… and I mean that as I literally don’t know rather than I’m doubting their capabilities.
But having said that, DR is pretty close with the US so… yea, if worse came to worse I don’t think the US would have a problem with taking down BBQ… and considering he threatened genocide, that should be enough for the US to step in, even if it’s not directly.

Thank you for covering this. I am blown away by the complete lack of coverage of this on the majority of journalist and news outlets.
That's because Trump spoke ill of the country, and in turn, the media had to do the opposite.
Because it doesn’t actually matter. This dude has a has a knack for blowing shit out of proportion then begging the “world” to handle a problem that has nothing to do with it. Sucks to say, but Haiti is inconsequential. The world cannot spend billions on every single uprising and collapse. Especially when nearly every western country willing to help is in extreme levels of debt. Haiti needs to handle its own mess.
Because years ago, a lot of celebrities and journalists tried to make Haiti look good because a supposedly bad orange man said it was a shithole country. They can't bring themselves to admit he was right.
Because it is obvious that it is genetic. Same reason disasters in South Africa post Apartheid are also ignored.

Haiti collapses every other decade, same old same old. It's the Somalia or Liberia of the Caribbean. It's just that nobody can be arsed to go in and clean up that mess anymore.
I was in Haiti in 2006 and in 2009. I was helping a mission. Every day I handed out food, worked at the burn clinic, assisted at a children's hospital, and assisted at a nursing home. I have never seen so much suffering in my life. My life changed after my trips to Haiti and I have become less materialistic and just more grateful for simple things in life. Haiti changed my life and I'm grateful for that. I feel terribly sorry for the people there and also sorry that I can't do anything about it. The Haitian people I met were very happy and grateful. I remember a little girl I was taking care of. She was in the intensive care unit. I cared for her for a week. Her parents had left her on a doorstep for someone else to take. She made it out of intensive care. I was grateful I could do something for that baby girl. I wonder where she is now.... I'm sad for the helpless people... I saw people live in rubbish with no access to any clean water or anything. When I saw other human beings drink water from a muddy puddle or sleep standing up or their legs full of puss and disease, my heart sank.
This story makes me feel happy to have a better living but it's heartbreaking to see this at the same time 😢💔
Same Story...but for me in former Yugoslavia back in the 90's...but this sounds even worse...like.Syria, .Sudan or Somalia...
There was a young Haitian girl I was supporting through World Vision.
She wanted to become a dress maker. Her family was very happy to have the help.

As a Dominican is interesting seeing all the panic now about Haiti when we;ve been raising the alarm (and being blamed and slandered on the world media) for over a decade. Since the earthquake Haiti has been broken and it never got repaired back and I'm not talking about infrastructure alone, I am talking about the nation itself.
An armed conflict is now almost guaranteed in the future.
An incredible amount of money was given to Haiti after the earthquake there and they should have skyrocketed and advanced their infrastructure, making up for any previous so called colonial pillages. That money should have evened the playing field with the Dominican Republic. Something is fundamentally different in Haiti. What could it be?

What the United States should do about Haiti is…exactly nothing. There is no solution we could broker which would not be seen by Haitians as more colonialism. Intercept refugees, return them to Haiti, and leave them to sort things out on their own. Yes, it will likely be terrible for a while, but they’ll arrive at a Haitian solution. Anything other than a Haitian solution will simply restart the cycle of dissatisfaction.

Good vid
I think something that should be talked about more is the fact that in 2003 one of the few if not the only democratically elected Haitian president asked for $21 billion in reparations from France for the disgusting debt they had to pay to their former slave masters. France did not like that very much as it set precedent for other former colonies to ask for reparations , all of a sudden paramilitary groups invaded the country from across the Dominican border. In early 2004 the Caribbean community made an appeal to the UN Security Council ,which France is a permanent member, to have peacekeeping forces be sent to Haiti, the appeal was rejected. When the Haitian president had fled to Africa, the man that replaced him rescinded the demand for reparations then the UN security council voted unanimously for sending troops to Haiti. Some people has suggested that the French had worked with corrupt Haitian officials to make this happen.
The thing I can’t get over is that its practically like if the Delmarva peninsula went into civil war with the people and landmass amount. I can’t imagine how horrifying that must be, such a small area for a civil war.
Bruh why would you give Delaware that idea I can literally hear them lining up at the border
Why by all the false gods would they bother?@@supernova5434
so true. payers all around.
this is like the first time i’ve ever seen delmarva mentioned online 😭
Why we have to do anything?.
If only Haiti had vast amounts of oil reserves, the US would be there real quick.
“After years of warning” yeah…since 1803

Then Haiti has been stable longer than most other countries in the West before democracy happened.
Who woulda thought? I had no idea making a colony of hundreds of thousands of slaves would lead to a rebellion and subsequently an unstable, corrupt, and often alienated country... no way. It's gotta be their skin color!
They took after the French with constantly burning their country to the ground over minor disagreements.
The difference is the French could afford to rebuild every time.
I was in Haiti in 2015, and it was unsettling then. Police lazed about PaP, many playing cards and drinking in the streets while gangs walked around with AK47s shouting at locals. It is certainly more unstable now with so much turmoil taking place and large scale seizures of infrastructure, but this place has been completely neglected by regional leaders. You could even argue it is linked to the independence debt honestly. I feel very bad for the citizens who just want a basic life.
Playing cards and drinking in the streets is a thing in any poor area, drive through any impoverished community in your city and you will see the same thing, therefore not a tell tale sign of a "unsettling" place. What IS unsettling are gangs walking around with weapons.
@@kingjer125 he said it was the police doing that

wonder if this will lead to an increase of pirates in the caribbean, which will in turn mess with commerce and also make it so countries like the US would have to start acting.

Collapse implies that there was something holding the structure up in the first place.
I dare someone to argue that Haiti hasn’t been a failed state for years.
Do you want to know the reason or would you rather in your little rabbit hole of racism? Actually fuxkin asking, don’t be a child.
Every state is a failed one. Our modern day idea of borders and states are held up by capitalism and colonialism.
Haití is leading the global revolution.
Haiti never recovered from the earthquake
And I dare you state the reasons for why Haiti is a failed state in the first place. Don’t be a child give an actual somewhat intellectual response. GO! 👀
Haiti is literally Gotham now.
What are you talking about? Haiti been collapsing since the day they became independent. Do not forget how much money France demands for recognized Haiti as a country.
Something has to be standing/upright for it to collapse.
This is very true.
No...The French and Spanish stood tall...the criminals who ruled after never did.

Wait why?...
@@MrTexaszx2Because lenses = glare. What probably happened is that he had real glasses when he started out, but has since gotten LASIK or contacts. But the glasses are a big part of his look, and not wearing them would probably make him unrecognizable to most of his casual viewers. It may also just be that as the video quality expectations grew while they were also launching more and more spin-off channels that they had to coordinate, their team decided that making sure that the lighting was angled _just_ right to not cause a glare was too much of a pain in the ass and limited their lighting options too much.
This is just the best version of events that can be reconstructed from the meager amount of insider leaks and circumstantial evidence that the general public has been able to gather, but the likeliest story is that the film crew then bound, blindfolded, and threw Simon into the trunk of the intern's car and drove him out to the middle of the Mojave Desert whereupon they cast him to the dirt on his knees and threw a shovel at him. They then calmly explained that he would be digging a hole, but that it would be up to him whether said hole was going to be 6 inches or 6 feet wide. While we don't know for sure where they were buried, how it was done, or how much they suffered, what we do know is that when the group was next spotted back in civilization, Simon was only wearing empty glasses frames.
Thanks. I hate it
We’ve got worse problems than Haiti, it’s just many people just don’t realize it...yet
Haitian History is actually incredibly interesting. Absolutely tragic too.

Second they step on Dominican soil there’s no more Haiti.

This is an excellent pivot for your channel. History in real time! Please continue doing this guys.
Who could have imagined that crippling their economy by forcing them to buy their way out of slavery for a century would have long lasting consequences?
Massive money was given to Haiti after the earthquake their and they should have skyrocketed and advanced their infrastructure, making up for any previous so called colonial pillages. That money should have evened the playing field with the Dominican Republic. Something is fundamentally different in Haiti. What could it be?
@@amariev226 Let's see...maybe because it was broken before the money got there? (I feel like I should be demonstrating this with Bill Clinton and some French fries.)
@@amariev226get outta here with your implied racism, bot lmao.
The last time I heard about Haiti was from the earthquake report that happened years ago and my school was asked to donate can food and so me and the rest of the hall moniters that are available went to the neighboring houses near the school asking for people in can donate can of food.
(Hall moniters in my school were...more military like for odd reason, instead of wearing typical neon bright jacket we were to wear boots and camo color jackets with a hat. We also get ranks i was in the lowest)

Until the 89s. Drug , prostitution and human traffic were still playing the bills. Then AIDS came..
That was because of slavery.@@davidgaskin5417
Haiti's failure can be attributed to the sabotage of its government by those in power. This situation bears a disturbing resemblance to the current state of affairs in Indonesia.
Amnesty for the gangs is not a bad idea, I think - it would be necessary to bring them to the table. The real trick is figuring out how to simultaneously neutralize the gang situation AND industrialize the disaffected.
Haiti has been collapsed long time ago, the situation has just degenerated and become worst.
I was a missionary in Haiti in the early 10s. It was barely a functioning country then. The wildest part was we had this beautiful scenic missionary resort in Petionville, overlooking the absolute madness and unimaginable poverty of the city below. There is tremendous wealth imbalance in Haiti, with western resources going to bolster the already privileged. A western military intervention would do nothing other than temporarily re-install the corrupt upper class, kicking the can for the inevitable class war down for the next generation.
This. I feel people are overlooking the crazy amounts of wealth inequality in Haiti, and really the entire region. For reference, I'm Jamaican, beautiful country, but a good majority of the population live in cramped, dirty cities with shitty roads and gang violence. Meanwhile, the beaches and caves are all slowly becoming privatized to the point Jamaicans can't even enjoy the natural wonders of jamaica without a hefty fee that most folks can't afford. Sprinkle in a little government corruption and overprioritization of the tourism sector and you get a people with a growing resentment towards tourism and the government. Alot of people I've talked feel like the government turned Jamaica into nothing more than an attraction which leaves the people feeling exploited and unimportant. Jamaica is more like some foreigners summer vacation than a Sovereign nation almost. The feeling of exploitation is probably why Haiti is so unreceptive to foreign assistance and why aid has always failed. The Caribbean still hasn't recovered from the exploitation and dehumanizing of the slave trade. I wish the West Indies Federation succeeded back in the day, maybe then we would be more like nations than tourist attractions. I'm just babbling at this point, no one's gonna read all this anyway
@@opyams3054I read it. Thank you.
I went on a humanitarian mission to Haiti back in 2011. I hope the village we did medical and dental work in is safe😢
Haiti has been a collapsed nation for decades. Plague, famine, cholera outbreaks have been the norm for a long time. Every time foreign nations try to help them they just start the cycle again.
If Cherizier doesn't capitalize on his worldwide fame now and release a line of G9 BBQ sauces, then he's an idiot.

Lets not forget how we got here, France and the US are VERY MUCH COMPLICIT to whats happening in Haiti so don't act like this is a self made issue............
What can they do to help ? Take the blame for haitis fall ? That's exactly ehat will happen if they try to help.
It is though. Culture plays a big part of their downfall. If you knew their history, you would know full well what I'm talking about.@@ike041476

You cant blame the US or France for this, it just shows that you know absolutely nothing about the subject at all
The US and other global powers have intervened repeatedly to prop Haiti up and restore order.
It’s never been supported by the Haitian elite, or the people. It’s never gone well for the nations trying to help. It’s also never worked for long after the foreign intervention ended.
The Haitian people don’t want foreign intervention, and from their history I understand why. But then that means they have to solve their issues themselves. The Haitian people have made their choice, and let the world know it repeatedly.
Painful as it is for the world to watch, and costly as it will be for the Haitians to bear, this is their struggle. They have made their choice and we must honor it.
Aaaaand history repeats itself.
