Haiti: The wounds of a broken country • FRANCE 24 English

- The security situation in Haiti has spiralled out of control since the shock assassination of President Jovenel Moise in July 2021, with the country increasingly beset by violence. Today, unrest has reached such levels that the United Nations is being urged to intervene and there has been a total breakdown of governance. The country is increasingly at the mercy of criminal gangs and half of the population struggles to find food. FRANCE 24's team travelled to Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital, before gangs took full control of the city. They met a writer, a street vendor and a food importer, as well as residents trying to flee abroad.

The violence is soo sad as the poverty combined with natural disasters alone is quite unbearable over there.
Their society is struggling Bc of the people in it. You don’t hear about the plight of Dominican Republic which is on the hurricane side of the island fyi
Haiti needs and army

Poverty is painful.
Don't worry China is here to save everyone. France can go away now... like for everyone's sake
Practitioners of voodoo are always cursed cursed
It does not have to be
Profound
It’s a shame how this beautiful country got destroyed by evil greed, corruption. Maybe UN should intervene cause I don’t see the Haitians solving this problem themselves
@asiam1528 I think Putin should send troops to Haiti.
Haha! They'd probably cheer them like the entire Europe-hating Africa does.
Devono aiutarsi da soli!
Nessun Paese occidentale deve aiutarli, dopo ti accusano sempre di qualcosa, no, non meritano!
They need to pay Haiti reparations
They don’t want anyone to intervene.
I feel for these people. Life dealt them a bad hand.
It’s because of voodoo
Yes, a life called France wearing American boots.
Yeah, they were born black.
Haïti, sudan, Suriname
Are those all countries with Black gouvernement?
Aaah, ok
The French dealt them a bad blow after enslaving them ,abandoning them and leaving them to die.
This will never change, in FACT.
I'm from Haiti and I just lost my house yesterday 😢😢 they attack my village and kill a lot people but by chance I'm alive
there is no reality other than what you put in your mind right now
repeat that affirmation for 4 hours in your thoughts everyday
it will change your life
Good now stay in Haiti and fix your country
@@thinkthoughtsforhours6052 Thank you for your advice and support I appreciate.
@@MechanoMinds007 if you want to leave Haiti just repeat thoughts for hours
I am a permanent resident of France living in a million dollar home with millions in the bank
Just repeat for 5 hours every day
Relocate to Guadaloupe
Sending Haiti people best wishes
Sending Haitians back to Haiti with cement in there shoes
Thank you but know French is also the main cause.
@@NadouLove7 no Haitians are not French the Haitians overthrew the French and that same group of Haitians killed the man who help them to be free and the French tricked the Haitians into giving them reparations or rather paying for there freedom but it bankrupt them
Blame the uk America and China
😂
... and then everyone gets mad at the Dominican Rep. for trying to protect their part of the island. As if anyone would leave their doors open or be welcoming to neighbors that are dangerous. Yes, not all of them are bad people, but if the entire country is in such a bad state due to its own people, then, of course, their neighbors will become very wary of them!
Bravo. Sono pessimi, nessun aiuto servirà!
Thank you for this update,for a while it seemed like complete radio silence where Haiti was concerned.
Dont be fooled my dear they're Haiti problems. This is what they to showcase about. Haiti is unsafe when they're the one creating the instability for the people with using politics. They are also the one visiting trying to steal our resources. They doing all this to help close all doors to Haiti.
not important enough
@@IvanPlayStation4LiFe haiti is irrelevant in world politics
Monkey business
France issued Haiti a crippling debt when they declared independence.
This is the convenient answer that everyone latches onto.
That’s not the reason Haiti is Haiti. It began pre revolution and the exploitation was exasperated immediately after their revolution. Country split into two different countries on paper but in reality 6 different countries at once.
The identity of being Haitian has never been an uniformed identity. They collectively have no loyalty to each other. While technically it’s not an ethnic problem in Haiti it certainly is. It’s just not really examined in that way.
More than 65 percent of slaves in the revolution were born in Africa. One day they are Yoruba, Twi, Wolof, the next day “Haitian”. That never rectified itself. You add in the historically predatory mixed raced class, the slaves born on St. Domingue and the Arabs that arrived post revolution, you have 4-5 different groups that are vastly different with no loyalty towards each other. No civic understanding or duty.
The revolution was out of necessity not out of an altruistic belief of one nation, one people. On paper, sure but not in practice
They should give them back the loot with interest and stop creating proxy wars 🤷🏾♀️
@@guineverejackson1201 the call is coming from inside the house. Literally Haiti and Haitian society has been a conglomeration of 6 different entities in one living on that side since inception.
They did the same in some African countries
Yap and then has the audacity to even speak at all about Haiti when they know they work with their Ally the USA to cripple Haiti for been free
If they stop the violence that is half the battle
You’re telling that to unevolved people who practice food VUDU
@@georgeboehringer5530witchcraft only keeps you poor, ignorant and underdeveloped as a country, only science and real hard work takes you to success
A great Nation has Fallen. GOD HELP THE HELPLESS😢😢😢😢
It was never that great, to be honest😂
It was great when France controlled it, the most wealthy jewel in the French Empire, however, Haiti declared independence, murdered all the whites and mulattos and any one who might have a drop of European blood. Now they rule themselves. Loser gangs playing ganster with full blown Aids. Nobody wants that in their country.
They need to elect a president with the caliber and character of Nayib Bukele of El Salvador. No one else can solve their problem except the Haitians. Their problems couldn't seem to disappear since L'Ouverture and that's almost 200 years ago.
I don’t even think they can solve it.
Thank you for letting us know. Yepp
Terrible 😢😢😢😢
😮It's such ashamed that every country just closed there door to help this country to get rid of those who don't mean them any good.... Very sad that the good must suffer for the bad..... If those people who truly care about their country and the people would put down their guns and help to put the country back, there is hope for Haiti, but some of them are only for themselves.
The question is why?
Hello France when you give Haiti the money you owed. You won't have to make these kind of coverage when you are also the caused. #haitipapperi 🇭🇹✊🏾🇭🇹
Thank you
Haiti needs to decide for themselves what they want. Then and only then will they defend their democracy.
They don't really have one. Thing is the gangs and politicians have conections (as far as alegations I read).
Their own leaders don't represent them. Without a team leader and a working team no advances can be made.
Haiti imports all of its food. That's sad for a carrbbean nation. Most of the islands 🏝 grow their own food
The haitian doesn't want to plant anymore.Because they think it for uneducated people which is not true.
That’s a failed country China needs to take over Haiti and pour the citizens in the sea
Are there no farmers in Haiti? Can anything be grown there?
@@V.E.R.O. they have farms but Haitians lack organization to distribute to other countries in a high capacity meanwhile they are in a constant battle with the government
Haiti does grow its own food but not enough to be self-sufficient. Haiti also grows rice which it has had import in larger quantities because domestic production hasn't risen to meet increasing demand.
Based on the history of U.S. intervention in Haiti, I can understand why some in Haiti might think U.S. military action is a possibility, but that ignores the political reality in America right now. America has become more isolationist since the disastrous military adventures in the Middle East. With a new presidential election coming neither of the parties will risk putting troops in harms way for humanitarian reasons.
Biden’s started WW3 in Ukraine and soon WW4 in Taiwan.
You are correct but this has situation has been building for about 3 years. Canada and France, once mentioned as part of a 3 nation multinational force, are also unwilling to intervene.
@@manatee2500 Why should France go there. France and America can start by returning every penny taken out of Haiti
@innocent odinkemere how did America take money from Haiti?
@@troystpaul100 I think he might be talking about the reparations. After the revolution, Haiti was forced to pay reparations to France to compensate the slave owners for losing their "property." They borrowed a lot of the money from American banks and it took till the 1940s to pay if all off.
Wow so shocking another ex French colony has collapsed. Why only former French colonies fall so fast and hard? The French had no idea how to properly run a colony. They just left them to fail to make France look better. And now France itself is falling.
French did the same in Vietnam!
Coming from a country that broke Haiti. Your days are coming to a close 🇫🇷🧕🏾
Facts . They still owe Haiti close to 1billion $
Isn’t it crazy that if it wasn’t for France Haiti as a country wouldn’t exist.
Haiti needs family planning like other developing nations
No, Haiti needs a new government.
Same ol new government.... Yeah. That will magically solve everything. Don't you see this is entirely an cultural problem?
@@Zhiivago Are you ignorant of Haitian history and culture?
Prayers
😥
Is there a reason Haiti isn’t growing it’s own food? I would think that with such a mild climate you can easily grow tropical fruits. And raise chickens
IQ.
All my haitian expat say they used to kill chicken, and so they must have raised chicken once, but stopped with the instability (not all but mostly)
Go to a sky view of haiti and dominican republic, u'll have ur answer there. Also, the agressive agro-intensive tecniques of colonialism actually diminished the quality of the soil.
@@puraLusa Thank you. I was wondering. That would explain it
@@halfdome4158 That’s usually the response of someone dumb and proud
Matatan.🤔.
Ribirin HS,
This is really sad,
France and United States of America
Need to help Haiti,
Amén 🙏
Sometimes, things must get worse before it gets better. Haití will raise again. They did it once, and they can do it again. Peace to all my African -Taino descendants.
🌏 YOU CAN NOT DO WITH HAITI THEY SOLD THERE COUNTRY TO THE DEVIL 😈😈 HAITI WAS INDEPENDENCE FOR OVER 200 YEARS AND GETTING WORSE SWEETIE YOU'LL SHOULD STAY WITH THE FRENCH WODOO IS THERE NUMBERS ONE
That isn't true,the bad problems could be compounded.
How low can we go?
Please dont relate tainos with those mtfckrs Haitians
They need to reject voodoo.other caribbean countries are poor but act civilized
Long life to Lionel Trouillot for his dedication to our common country
Don't worry China is here to save everyone.
Better Title "Haiti: The Wounds of a Country Broken by France After Gaining Their Independence."
🙏🙏🙏
And this has nothing at all to do with France...right?
The French secretly love watching Haitians humiliated and failing.
We LOVE Haiti...Thanks for helping the Americans win the Battle
Exactly, Americans do not want more uneducated, nonskilled blackmen with aids coming to play gangster. NO THANKS.
yet dominican republic doing well despite sharing island, curious
DR barely owns DR
"We want to rule our own country..."
Haïti, Sudan, Suriname...
Need to say more?
This is terrible my heart goes out 2 these people the gangs r so cruel 90 miles from the world's most powerful nation????? SMFH
Creó que Francia tiene algún grado de responsabilidad en está situación
no todas las colonias europeas en America eran lo mismo. Evidentemente esa colonia francesa era la peor. En Jamaica la situación e mucho mas mejor, en la Republica Dominicana e mucho mas mejor, en Cuba es mucho mas mejor, en las islas holandesas en el Caraibe e mucho mas mejor, en las Bahamas es mucho mas mejor, en Puerto Rico es mucho mas mejor ...
They did and still do. Haiti is in debt because of France and the US( backing france)
@@BeeKaychick1 debt has been payed in 1940. That's a long while ago. Lots of countries started with huge debts and all odds against them but they made it work.
Blaming on a debt (albeit an unfair one) only helps the ones who made this mess, cause it excuses them of their responsabilities.
African union save haiti let africa show solidarity and send troops to haiti thats our blood.
Well said!
they hate haiti they even block haiti from the joining the african union
Go NIGERIA
Africa has too many miserable Countries of its own that African Union is doing nothing about
Wishful thinking do you think that’s cheap?
I just dont get it, why having kids if your country is in a bad status
Since the regional countries do not want to do any about Haiti why cant Nigeria leaders do something?
The will to live that the people of Haiti have.
It’s crazy I own 2 businesses and have a strong family network, but I live in cali and don’t own my own home and feel when I do is the time to have a kid. And I just suppose statistically I’m literally around 1 in a million or something. How could you live in a 16 sq meter tin hut with 2 kids and no husband. Maybe she has no idea about cause and effect. I literally don’t understand why people do this themselves and kids, it seems like some really animalistic human behavior - like they aren’t fully rational yet.... maybe someone has an answer
France cripple Haiti took gold funds left it in poverty us forgot Haiti help them gain independence
what are you talking about? what independence?
@@frankjames7272 haiti help USA with independent
@@theoriginal7424 like how?
Meanwhile on the other side of the same island, prosperity is in full bloom.
This Dominican guy delivering pizza was shot dead in Philadelphia by some young black teenagers
If there is so much prosperity in the DR why did he come to America just to get gunned down by young thugs?
Haiti better under white French rule.
France need to pay reparations to these poor people
Paying reparations to a group of ppl with no government or formal institutions will just mean the gangs will take it
why? I dont think they should.
@@frankjames7272 France made Haiti pay millions of dollars for the “lost” the suffered when Haiti delivered themselves from their atrocious reign of slavery . So France owes Haiti that money back . Learn your history before speaking on things you know nothing about .
@@nessyxo5482 that soumds like bulsh!t! the blacks killed thousands of innocent civilians and stole the land haiti from france. it was right that haiti should pay.
@@nessyxo5482 maybe you need a therapy and history lessons.
France needs to own up to its actions towards Haiti .
I'm Haitian but we brought this on ourselves by slaughtering the French.
The French retaliated just like you would if someone slaughtered your family.
The slaves in Martinique and Guadalupe didn't slaughter the French now their descendants are French citizens with a good quality of life.
We are paying for the past
EXACTLY ‼️‼️‼️ Give haiti all of its money back….. Smh
France owns this mess.
That is the kind of mentality which causes these problems: instead of fixing your own problems, simply blame others for them, join some gang and promote total anarchy. Do you think the country would have such problems if it was still a French colony?
You fix it stop blaming other for you failure
He needs 6:20 to comeback to his country, live our country alone, HAÏTI belongs to Haitian people
Haiti problem requires Haiti solution no one can help someone who doesn’t want help
If you’re upset about what’s happening then why don’t you do something about it OK
The reporter/producer are probably inexperienced and/or F24 unwilling to pay for security...14 minutes and almost nobody of importance was on the record and many missing elements. Same package that was posted a couple of days ago and still with obviously incorrect reference to Haiti importing all of it's food.
Why is Haiti importing food instead of growing it?
The government doesn’t encourage it.
UN destroyed crops we had rice fields they sent crop dusting planes killin the plants
We LOVE Haiti...Thanks for helping the Americans win the Battle. Haiti needs family planning like other developing nations.
In solving the food crisis which has always affected Haiti, they should grow millet. They should ask India to help them establish millet exemplary farms. India is helping Guyana to establish millet cultivation and Haiti as a CARICOM member could be assisted by Guyana. Millet could be grown on the marginal exhausted land. India and Guyana are willing to help. CARICOM and Haiti should act.
I've asked, and at least two people have agreed -- there is no longer a Haiti to speak of. The government is ineffectual, the gangs have total control, people who can are attempting to leave in droves. There is a question of whether the people who still call themselves Haitian would not be better served by being part of another country, and whether the gangs care enough to try to come together and form some sort of provisional interim government, or whether the territory formerly known as Haiti is essentially ungovernable.
There’s plenty of trees and leaves that can be cooked down and eaten or eaten exactly how they are! You either pass from starvation or you pass from eating leaves
Who will rescue the people of Haiti?
wakanda?
America does it again!
Why can't they go to Africa. I am sure plenty of African countries would take them all willingly.
❌🩸I would feel safer walking the streets of 🇸🇴 Mogadishu, than here !

It has taken this long for the United Nations to consider intervening? What good are they? I'm sure the situation would have been resolved if there was oil there.
The leaders and the UN has failed the country of Haiti and hatians,so sad.
Come to Uganda
When is France 24 going to have a show titled "When is France going to return the 200 Billion plus dollars they stole from Haiti after the slave rebellion defeated and expelled Napoleon and his Pirate criminals and mass murderers?"
As if it’s not French fault it’s like that. Always trying to play as the victim
The single mother of 3 has a bright future behind and infront of her 2:53
If they had believed in god and not voodoo this would not be happening 🤷🏾♂️
It's interesting that France and America are the reason this country is this horrible situation.
True ! America invaded in 1915 and stole all the gold from their treasury!!
But America let Ukraine in ! And Afghanistan in !!
Who brike Haiti? France. Get to know your history.

Haiti 🇭🇹 needs grants to revitalize the forests starting with bamboo.
France needs to take in Haitian refugees
Im visiting france right now, they have taken too many already
THIS IS THE FUTURE OF FRANCE.
France is responsible for Haiti's problems. Which is hundreds of years in the making. France issued Haiti a crippling debt when they declared independence after fighting for human freedom. The first free black state in the western hemisphere at the time. They have been punished ever since.
That debt was payed of in the 1940? How much have the west given aid to Haiti since then? How long are you going to find excuses to blame others for the problems the people in Haiti have caused themselves? I don't think it's the western countries forcing these people to join gangs and lead the country to total anarchy.
You are making excuses for them those people are black and some of them practice VUDU they say 80% Catholic 100% video
@@georgeboehringer5530 What excuses am I making? Lol! Everything I stated is accurate historical fact. What does them practicing Voodoo have to do with anything? Genius statement.
@@redleader9189 I suggest you do your history on the topic.

French 24 should stay out of Haiti and actually tell their government to pay up actually for force in ng Haiti to pay them for not wanting to be slaves pay up stop pointing out what's wrong when you created the wrong
"The wounds of a broken country" cause by France over a hundred years ago.
France policies and racism put Haiti in this state
Nope, Haitians put themselves in this situation.
Shining example that in fact the 10,00 Haitians that presented at the US border should NOT have ever been retuned back to Haiti as we are invaded by Central American gangs. Haitians were more than eligible for leaving a dangerous area controlled by gangs with evidence of life threatening risks. Its been a proven breakdown in their society.
No America does NOT need more uneducated unskilled black men with aids coming to America to play gangster. Get lost.
If Haiti manages to bring stability to their country and leans towards China or Russia for assistance the US will find a way to undermine their efforts at peace and tranquility.
600K arms in a country of 12Million. US has a weapon for every man, woman and child of 330Million.
At this rate, Haiti is going to end up like Somalia and South Sudan.......
@ProbotX-eo5ln or Haiti will probably end up like Afghanistan or Mali.
Wait Haiti imports all of its food?
Let them people come to America nothing there
These are planet earth humans, heading to Mars. Blocked by prejudices and base understandings about themselves.
Haitian needs to rebuild their Miltary army
I disagree. In order to have a strong military one must have a strong defense fund. The government has no funds to pay soldiers salary and military hardware.
Haiti needs foreign military assistance primarily the U.S , France and Canada, but not the U.N.
how?
@mr2010GM no. Those are the same people who joined hands to crippled Haiti. Haitians can volunteer, and they don't have to be paid. It's their country, after all.
no never they dont need a military

Haïti is really needs help with insecurity
Mark my words, the person that will take over will be brutal.

You all are so blind to what happened!
Single mother?and going to a country with rasism?independace?
Haiti isnt enormous. To redress its sorrows, children and youth should be foremost. To care and help educate haitian children cant be a supernatural task. Its easy done for a world in a moment of civilizational apex. So WHY hasnt it begun, tried or ventured, whos waiting for what, so far?
Instead of hating FrAnce maybe they should look in the mirror and admit they are at fault.
france on the sane trend..l
Hey bro try to know about Haiti 🇭🇹 before you say anything, Haiti 🇭🇹 is not a broken country Haiti 🇭🇹 is a rich country you know why ask your self why USA 🇺🇸,Canada,La France 🇫🇷 never want or helping Haiti 🇭🇹 has their own Army because why they always want Haiti 🇭🇹 to be like this they can steel everything Haiti 🇭🇹 has in the soil like Gold and everything
