Politicians is destroying Haiti and no one is accountable and facing charges ?
You mean the gang are destroying haiti
The US politicians are the ones that are more complicit. Also no one is talking about the $6 billion dollars the Clintons allegedly stole.
*are because politicians is plural 😅
Haitians are just tired of being tired of the same old corruption. Starving, not working, and being poor gets old really quickly when you have a family to feed!
You're right on this one.
THE PROBLEM IS...too many external opinions, Haitians will come up with a govt, maybe democratic maybe not but their self determination is the key to peace and stability
So we are lost
They been trying it on their own for over 200 years and haven’t been able to resolve their own issues so obviously they need external help like a Marshall plan like they did with Germany, oh wait, they are white🤐
The gangs should rule that country. Its the only thing natural to them.
Thank you professor Rosa Friedman. That's exactly what Haitian people are asking. They also don't want US to impose them their president. True, true, true to Every single words that you have said about the situation. Thank you, thank you, thank you
El Salvador is a bad example because no one has help them!! They did it on their own.. Bukele!!! Is the answer..
Money and guns were sent to Salvador it was the same type of problems the difference is that the international community didn't go in the country to intervene as oppose to Haiti
@@marekcracovia4061 too many people are brainwashed by These lying mass media , but something is obvious it either you clueless or idiot for example you your self you are able to see through it , sad that most people can't
Seems like some of you people, don't need help, because I don't see how the citizens are going to do it there selves
Haiti is on an island. Where are the gangs getting enough weapons to take on the police for such a sustained amount of time? Who's funding the gangs? Are people not smart enough to realize they are destabilizing their own countries, typically by outside actors who want to take advantage of the chaos?
It's true! Black people don't want to imprison each other! It's racist! El Salvador is doing it's citizens a service! Haiti needs a prison like El Salvador's!
That lady with that hat. Knows nothing about it. Impossible to send help without an intervention
Knowing 'experts', she simply wants to make some money out of it while solving nothing.
But Kenya is not the option, she is right about that at least, how can they help if they aren't even talking the same language?
@@degrotekoningwouterthey invented this great profession. It’s called being a translator.
u want to send european colonials that are supporting genocide in gaza? they cant even solve that issue.... leave haiti to haitians.
@@Syrzl9231I'm sure that will go over well considering they can't even get a decent police force going, being in a guerilla-like state. Maybe ask the translators in Afghanistan or Irak how that worked out for them.
The prime Minister must step down asap.
TO step down for the rogue policeman?
There must be an election first
Step down and be replace by barbecue?
Step down and be replaced by a cannibal gang leader
@@philipachikindubi5128 for the better of the country. The Pm keep putting off election. It seems he don't want to leave willingly so force is necessary.
Off topic, but i find it impressive how the women are able to balance objects on their head.
That's a really great observation. But honestly, you should try being a better person.
@@jptothetree So should we all.
Tell us more about what you find impressive, please.
@@jptothetreeObserving and admiring the accomplishments and abilities of others is a part of becoming a "better person". It's a healthy thing to do, as long as it doesn't lead one to covetousness.
Guess you haven't been to Africa or India.
What is this woman talking about. Is she aware what the gangs are doing?
Thank you very much
Also, does she really think that the gangs are simply going to step aside? Finally, who is going to Finance this Mess.
It would take a Lot of Money to get this country back on on its feet. How do we know that the money won't end up in some gang's leader or politician 's bank account? So, they don't want a international intervention, yet they seek international financing.
She is clueless, how will conduct a free and credible election in a such environment? Please look for better people to interview.
She actually well spoken
She thinks Haitians will allow puppets to run Elections 😂
Agree w het
That's what we do since more than 200 years
Ask someone with the surname Friedman about war and crime in a black country. Now ask them about warcrimes in Isreal.
@@rogercherlin because you have been trying to comform to the democratic way of government that these yte folks has imposed on us rather to establish pur own set of governance that came from our ancestors, way before slavery we used to be Great kingdoms, yet look at us now, trying comform to this modern yte man world, that has destroyed us for centuries, democracy will never work for a black man as it wasn't made to benefit a black man in the first place.....as I said You HAITIAN BROTHERS NEED TO COME OUT OF DEMOCRACY and figure what type of governance you want based on our spirituality and and ancestrale traditional roots, the only way for we black folks to truly govern ourselves properly it's reconnecting with our ancestrale roots.
Where's Shari Lewis when you need her?
Over 200 years of independence and nothing to show for it…😢
Yes we a sign of astonishment, according to the bible God said the Israelite would be a sign of astonishment to all nations this is why black folks can't get up we the Hebrew and God is punishing his people.
There has a lways been a conspiracy by western governments to make AYITI a failed state!; It hirts them that AYITI was the first BLACK nation to fight off colonialism/SLAVERY and gain independence. The west has continually undermined AYITI governments, and this is not a secret.
The same kind of conspiracy they have against Zimbambwe.
Haiti is an animal kingdom! 🦍🦧
Sanctions for 300 years, forgot that part to spread propaganda 😢
The support must start with an intervention. Smh
Why do these folks always think they have all the answers for what is needed for a country in turmoil? How many of them worked on the ground there.
You can't resolved this current situation without involving the leaders of the gangs and civil society. Any attempt for Kenya and the Caribbbean to intervene will be suicidal.
They make movies about the purge, the Haitian people are living it....
Please find better people to interview
How do you start as a Haitian, when the country and the whole system is dead. This professor is talking nonsense
Lmao, sure. The only thing dead is the leadership. Let the people vote who they want in. Case closed.
It's dead because of colonialism and interference by US, France, and Canada. We still pay for being the first black republic and the people are never honored democratically, because everyone the people put into power get ousted by a US backed coup. Not to mention those powers raiding Haiti for resources for over centuries.
No , she was courageous enough to say the real things , the root cause of what's going on is racism , USA France and Canada and oligarchs don't want people from Haiti and black people to prosper that's basically whats going but people like you will believe lies being told by the mass media
Haiti is done, politically insolvent. Haiti as an island-state no longer exists. They need to airlift the rest of the population over to African countries willing to accept them. The barren side of the island should be given to the Dominican Republic. They can rebuild it into something useful.
@@astroprotector you should be a stand up comedian for suggesting what u just suggested 😂😂😂 what a idiot did u really say that ?
respect to you for bringing none but facts Professer !! may God bless you
Then there's the multinational corporations that want Haiti's resources like gold and precious metals and agriculture lands.
"Haiti as a country." Is more than likely done.
Very selfish Prime Minister must step down NOW !!
i can honestly say i did not expect her to say what she said
Praying for the Haitians. We cannot believe what the media is reporting.
In HDI, there are close to 30 countries poorer than Haiti. That's Afghanistan, Yemen, plus a number of African countries (which are the majority of the continent)
Too sad no man’s land since their independence.
Haiti has been in the dark ages for 2 centuries and it's not new.
they put themself in darkness
@@jean1josephthe former colonials are still mad for losing wars to slaves, to this day, they sabotage haiti by sanctions, independent fees and embargo on the nation. they would have left them alone if they were good slaves and begged for freedom, like the Dominicans
Very Well Said Rosa Freeman She Said It Well I Agree With Her
Save LIFE❤💛💚🔥
Freedom for Haiti Haiti people want to be free people
This is a simple example of Corruption and what long term corruption from inside, and also from outside will result in.
Rosa Freeman well spoken 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Oh Caribbean leaders exist? And its now that they want to discuss this?
Theyve been doing this for a while actually, they had a meeting last week but guess who never showed up.
The Caribbean has been assisting Haiti for years.
💔🙏🏽
WHERE IS THE INTERNATIONAL COMUNITY????
Keeping out of it as told by Haitians!
Other countries are not obligated to save Haiti or solve its numerous problems. It's 2024. Either they save themselves or Haiti ceases to exist.
Haitians keep kicking out the UN peacekeeping forces and torching everything over the years....and they get blamed for everything and called occupiers. Not much of an incentive for countries to keep coming back and try to help at their own expense
RUclips isn't helping anything by selectively hiding comments either.
They're just being jerks
If Haiti could resolve its problems without an intervention, they would have done so a long time ago. There wouldn't be this concern about anarchy in the country.
As for so-called human rights, the concept is a very loose umbrella term, that has now come to include some very bizarre ideals and organizations.
With previous failed administrations, the citizens are tired. Can't blame them. Hoping for a peaceful solution to bring peace, security and stability to the nation.
Go Rosa! ❤
The world can't take barbecue serious
What the he'll does Jamaica has to do with that mess leave Jamaica 🇯🇲 out of this
Jamaica has always been selfish when it comes to helping their Caribbean brothers. According to Alexander Bustamante, they are "Distant starving cousins." I'm not surprised by your comment. Smh
Somalia vibe like in the movies.
5:10 preach ma’am. Also it’s upsetting that all of these countries have little food or infrastructure but have unlimited bullets. Who’s supplying them? Follow the money…
The professor spoke the truth.
Leave them over there, don’t no why their asking for help! We already have our own problems to deal with as a born citizen in Canada
Just like most conflicts, if america leaves, the violence will stop.
😢
So much craft of course it will backfire
U.S.A. France,British,Canaduh,you caused this...
As always
The only reason Canada gets dragged into this, is because French is one of the two official languages with a large Haitian population in Montreal. The governor general of Canada was a Haitian. The only thing that came out of any form of assistance was blame for doing so. They are not playing that game again, this time.
You mean by giving them a place to send workers that send money back home? Make sure you mention thats both Haiti and DR that has people in the usa sending money to their families that are saying reject the system, stand up for whats right, and insist the elected officials serve the public good. Sadly in the usa and there serving the public is a death sentance.
BS
Exactly.@@mikew.to1
The gangs will start fighting each other soon. The number one priority is securing the airport by any means possible.
They need a government of national unity so civil society can do its work. But I cannot see how they can sort this out while gangs remain in control. Ariel Henry needs to step down - but who is going to take his place? With food shortages and no healthcare, Haiti is on its knees. 😢
What Caribbean countries are coming together. DR too?
Caricom, DR doesn’t get involved in Haiti internal affairs as a security precaution.
It doesn't matter who is in power there once they get in power they start taking and taking and Haiti could be a beautiful processful country
Barbados and Jamaica and Bahamas and Belize armies are coming we should be in Haiti by Wednesday
No Haitians has destroyed their own country
I agree with Ms. Freedman some type of intervention must be provided. This is insane that gangs are taking over. Something needs to be done.
Haiti i am praying for you. Children of God i am praying for you. It won't always be like this. God is looking for a deliverer that cannot be bought, to return a ppl to Him.
Prof. Rosa Freedman is always on point...Thanks so much Prof. Freedman😊🤗👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Haiti has experienced so much crisis just because they were able to defeat France, Britain and Spain for their independence.We pray for the Haitian people.
Control the port’s control the gun flow why no one talk about the ports
Armed gangs already have and it would clash with the people
If "racism" is the "only answer you can think of," you should rethink your choice of profession.
get rid of barbeque
God have mercy on them
😭😭😭😭🤲😭😭😭
LEADERSHIP | Professor at Reading University asks, why Haiti is always the subject of international interventions, rather than support. "Many countries gave gangs, and we never send international forces there. And they are just as armed, like in Colombia, El Salvador and Honduras." Prof. Rosa Freedman
We will take the matter on our own hand, no international community involve, control our own destiny. Soon or later Ariel Henry will be replace then everything will be alright?
She really knows nothing about us Haitian ppl.. the government is suffering because of the political situation
? ? ? A BLACK MAT HAT WITH A SILVER CHAIN ? ? ? 🙄🙄🙄
Porque será que dois paises dividindo em meio a meio a mesma ilha Espaniola, o Haiti e a Republica Dominicana são tão diferentes em educação, rendimento per capita (6x mais da RD), ordem, disciplina, progresso, riqueza, produção, turismo, etc???? Fatos: O Haiti tem 95% de descendentes africanos, a RD tem só 30% de africanos os restantes 70% são descendentes de europeus...Será isso?
Stupid DRs will deny their African roots to the end of time. “Mi no Black, Mi Dominica 🪇” you’re an embarrassment to the race trying to be white so bad 😂. Just stay quiet and keep kissing Americans feet.
SHE HIT IT RIGHT "RACISM" APPLAUSE!!!
Haiti can solve their own problems if the other countries stay out of it. Let the people elect their own leadership. We can do it by ourselves. No more intervention from the UN, Us or Europe they are the ones that are destroying Haiti..
And it's Haitians begging for foreign intervention at the same time they blame it for their troubles. It's like begging to get married to someone you will blame as oppressing you for supporting you. Ignore the call for intervention and yes, let them sort it out internally. And yes, it won't be easy or pretty, many will die.
Yea right, Good luck.
Nope, Haitians are destroying themselves with all the insecurity, kidnappings and murders
You are stupid .
What the heck happened, did BLM march across Haiti chanting 'no police'. Well they got their wish.
Neighboring countries should help
dominicans are racist to them and hate their skin....they feel like they are spaniards hahaha
corruption causes gangs
Talking to a woman from Reading university sitting in her house remotely as if she was physically there is a joke.
Including fedora hat!
omg
Thank you for letting the World know the horrible situation in Haiti.
Missionary to Haiti

I like this lady.
Soldados brasileiros morreram em vão.
No to international intervention the Haitian people wants guy Philippe to help.
He is criminal Haitian people needs a strong woman president not someone who is a puppet for the west and the french guy Phippe is one of them he will never make Haiti better he will in rich himself the people will be still poor I believe a strong Haitian woman will bring peace to Haiti if she is president the men have failed many time time for woman power can u see the gangs have killed the weakness of the nation most women have been killed and most women police have killed by the gangs what a shame time now for a woman to take power in Haiti bring peace to the country
Even though Haiti's independence was successful, they haven't been able to be successful. Agree?
The last time the Caribbean leaders facilitated the US invasion of Grenada the Barbados Labour Party was in power and up front and guess what? A few months later the present PM's father arranged a secret meeting between Errol Barrow then out of power with US State Department officials e.g. George Schultz and a Gillispie and the meeting was about how to get Barrow back in power. I wrote about it in a letter to the Nation's newspaper editor - and they raised their glasses and drank to "continued collaboration to 1986" the year elections were scheduled and Barrow said "to 1985" by 1985 Tom Adam's the BLP Prime Minister was dead. Do not trust these Caribbean leaders, leave Haitians alone. Does it seem to me only tge these white supremist countries want conflict and wars all over the globe. Is that their intent and as usual the international media is their puppets.
Rosa made some good points, the people of Haiti have to decide their path and the gangs cant rule the country.
No american or european saboteurs at the carribean meeting .
So, when does NATO start blaming Russia for this?
The US shouldn't be paying for the Kenyan peacekeepers.
Haiti police and security forces definitely needs international support, most probably from France and French Canadian police, persons who can speak French, also from the Caricom military too cause security in Haiti needs stabilizing right now before anything else
People criticise the US/West, however when they are in trouble, they turn back to them for salvation!
Caribbean countries need to take in Haiti women and children save their lifes
When Haiti gained independence, sugar prices were high, but as sugar become more competitive regardless of slavery, Haiti was not sustainable without a change in it's economy. Had the sugar industry remained unchanged world wide, Haiti was capable to pay off it's debt were it not for constant internal power struggles. Although Haiti gained independence by war, it could never win against France, and like Alaska and many others 'paid' for their independence to France. After independence, Haiti focused more on power and control, but ignored to their detriment a changing world economy. It has never recovered, and unless drastic changes in governance, never will. It is overpopulated, under educated, killed the only remaining tourist economy and instead chose corruption of a failing economy as the only path forward. Conflicts over power and control began with independence and have caused instability and poverty ever since. Haiti gained independence, but has always struggled to maintain and adapt an independent economy to go along with it. The DR has had a similar history, but it's economy was always more mixed. It was never a major sugar producer as was Haiti. DR independence was less an economic-control issue but one of governance. A US intervention in DR led to stability at the cost of freedom, but has slowly transitioned to a more stable democratic governance. Haiti will have to find it's own path, but without a lasting stability of some kind, and a focus back onto it's economy, it will be a very, very long road to a stable democracy if it so chooses. Certainly a gang led dictatorship or ever constant instability and corruption based on illegal drug trade as it's sole remaining economy will only kill it's last chance for change and for democratic freedom. Haiti wants a stable democracy while fully dependent on an unlimited artificial externally supported economy to replace the once rich sugar economy it fought over. The two don't lead to independence nor a stable democracy. Sometimes in life it's not about control, it's about the destination.
Why are you not showing the gang leader?
The politicians weren't doing their job to run Haiti so the people have taken matters into their own hands.
Poor Haitians, may Allah bring them relief 😭🤲🏼
Allah seems to be the one behind their grief. Look to voodoo as the root cause of Haiti's woes.
Here we go....
It is time for the President of El Salvador to bring that peace to other countries, forming a new movement in each country, "New Ideas", to begin the fight against gangs, drug trafficking and corruption in governments.
She speaks fakt 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
Where is the world police ? Are they afraid of the Haitian?
I like her perspective
Let barbecue become the leader and we will work with him
If Ariel Henry wants the best for his country and people he should STOP being a selfish egoist and STEP DOWN immediately! It doesn't appear that he had any intentions of providing elections for the Haitian people and was trying to SOLIDIFY his grip on his UNELECTED power. I think that plan if it was his is spectacularly all over now.
The Caribbean community is working on behalf of the U.S. and its cronies to prevent Haitians from determining their own fate… Haitian have Decided to put Guy Phillipe as the leader of the country… the will of the Haitian people is non negotiable…🥰🇭🇹
That's not true.
Ukrainia, Gaza, Haiti, who is next?
Jesus said lawlessness would come in last days.
