Haiti was not the worst place on the planet. And I'm not relying on your opinion or mine but on things like in infant mortality, life expectancy, things like this. When you were young, it was certainly a very poor country with a low human development index, but it was not the worst in the world by any of these measures.
This is such an amazing video series idea. I watch these updates every weekend and it gets me up to date on everything happening. I don’t like mainstream because it’s half commercials and half a call to emotions with some agenda behind it
Back in the day I had 2 trainees, (not at the same time) one from DR and one from PR. Both were police officers in their native countries. The PR guy told me one night, “I was talking to DR last night, he patrolled 5 miles on foot. No vehicle because they couldn’t afford one. And I thought our department was poor.” The thing I find so poignant about that conversation was the conversation I had with DR. He told me how grateful he was that he had been born in DR instead of Haiti. I’d literally known nothing about it until then, and then I realized as much as I thought I’d seen, I’d seen nothing. My heart hurts for the people that are just trying to live their lives and raise their children.
33:29 See, this tiny little edit along with the commentary is why I prefer a human touch as opposed to the AI generated images from another video of your channel(s).

To be fair, Haiti has been cycling between "on the brink of collapse" and "collapse" since it was first colonized by Europeans, and it was probably a bit of a mess before that, too.

I remember back in 2010 there was some kind of crisis in Haiti. My Dad's best friend Mike Luman owned a large portion of Aurora municipal Airport here in Illinois and put together a mission with him, his son, and a bunch of friends flew from Illinois to Haiti in their own planes full of food, water and medical supplies. In one day they flew to Haiti, landed, unloaded the planes in like an hour and turned around and flew back to Illinois in the same day and repeated this mission every day for at least a week or so. All using personal aircraft, personal donations, various food and drink donations from local food banks like salvation army, local churches, the local police and fire departments here in Aurora and surrounding suburbs west of Chicago. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen, my dad and I helped them load the airplanes stage everything for each following load.
While that was nice of your dad's best friend to do such a thing to try and help, as we have seen through the years Haiti like many other African run nations are lost causes. As long as Africans try and run their own countries without any skills, little education and corrupt free individuals they will ALWAYS continue to fail.
@UzumakiNaruto_ I was in Haiti after the earthquake, and although you anecdotal summary may have merit, I was blessed with helping beautiful kind souls.
Pretty much. Since their independence they have been gettings sucked dry from Colonial powers. France, US, you name it. After the slaves won against France they were forced into debt for decades to pay sums far far far in excess of their paltry GBP, as expected of a newly independent nation of former slaves. Or selse face being invaded by a renewed French force. Then later the US literally stole the funds from their Central Bank. That's on top of European and US powers literally deligitimizing their status on the global stance inhibiting their ability to trade and develop their economy i.e. infrastructure , technology, finish goods, services etc. And then the destabalizing and inteference in their political system by same said powers.

@@Lelendelet’s be honest, Haiti’s problem is the Haitians. The DR is doing fine. It’s because Haitians keep putting dictators in power and can’t figure out how to not be corrupt
@@Lelende How were they forced into debt? They could have simply stopped paying. They are an independent country and they would not be the first who decided to not pay their debts.
The Neo-con/uni party class just has to have more wars. They can’t ever just accept that the American people don’t want our male family members to die for nothing
i don't think the us needs more than a week to clear haiti and would bring regional stability, basicly needs to do like the el salvador president otherwise you'll have a Yemen right under US.
well if the people try to flee to the USA it does become a problem, just enforce a naval blockade, don't let anyone in or out except maybe aid workers or something and just let the problem fix itself.
Just think how scary these gangs would really be if any of them knew how to use a rifle. Lots of shots of un shouldered rifles being fired with out even looking down sights. Accuracy by volume I guess.
I lived in S.Florida when Haitians were coming over in boatloads. We lived on a deadend street where there were 3 small rental homes that had about 4 Haitian families each. I wish i could think of a single nice thing to say about them. The Haitian embassy sued the state who tried to protect homeowners with the "single family housing " rule, and the state lost .
In the 1980’s, I met the chief bodyguard of “Baby Doc”, the former son and ruler of Haiti. It was in Paris. He was, I think reluctantly, attending a cooking school with his wife/girlfriend. The man was enormous. He seamed like a man who could break you in half with no worry in the world. I was in the same classroom and kitchen with him and was introduced. It was truly terrifying. I’m sure he had lots of stolen money from Haiti and probably had a villa in France. He was only at the school for about a week. Everyone was happy to see him gone.
@@BuddyLee23..Funny how he is scared of a physical presence, but the ruler was afraid of being Poisoned, hence a quick course on Food Prep for the Bodyguard.

If a normal country can be equated with a server delivering your food at a restaurant, Haiti is a plate of food which was dropped, splatted on the floor and the server is now trying to use both halves of the broken plate to try and clean it back up.
I lived in Jamaica in the late 80’s and early 90’s. I’ve seen Jamaica rise into a star island where billions of dollars flow in through commerce and tourism.

Bold to assume they want anything beyond an island-nation of their own to make a Somalia 2.0. If they manage to gain control for any extended period of time, expect to see them prey upon boats and shipping.
Odd that none of the aid we've sent haiti is ever audited / monitored yet we act surprised when bad people become untouchable in places that we send blank checks
They needed solid foreign investments that would have improved their economy like in Europe after WW2, not being drown it in foreign aid to the point of killing local businesses (specially local farms), that's why many African countries are still struggling to create jobs and businesses to this very day, sometimes the foreign aid for very long periods of time makes more harm than good.
A friend of mine has met one of the body guards who was on the previous Haitian presidents security team, he said that was a dark day when the president was assassinated, directly lead to him retiring.
Much more difficult. Congo is in the middle of nowhere. Very few journos want to risk going there. Used to be a nice country, spent a month walking and hitching across it.
Keeping the military on the street is not the long term plan. Ecuador is building two super prisons to house the gangs. The construction firm that built the prison in El Salvador is doing the work.
Such is the power and desire for relevance of political opposition in Africa that your enemies would block your efforts to put a fire out even if it was them on fire.
The sad reality is Haiti is doomed to forever be poor. They live in one of the most earthquake prone areas in the world. Unlike Japan they don't have the funds to build earthquake safe buildins so every 20-30 years half the buildings in the nation will be destroyed. That leads to more poverty and disease.
Japan has the funds the technology the integrity and the expertise along with experience Haiti has yet to have any not to mention leaders whom truly care for their country folk
The Japanese have always built "earthquake appropriate" architecture, it didn't require modern technology. They had a highly developed pre-industrial culture before they encountered western industrialism.
@@robw7676 Yes ... Something that Haiti never was. It was an agrarian slave state that perpetuated slavery to maintain its exports. They also never had a truly functioning government that was always in a crisis.
Im not sure I could Call Simons reporting here as information but if you are interessted in news with nuance then you should check out Dan Cohen’s documentary and journalisme on this subject
If you ask me, I think it’s gonna take a lot more than a thousand policemen led by Kenya to restore order to Haiti. Maybe not to level of US intervention (considering how our previous ones didn’t really help in the long term), but definitely military involvement from another country.
Not going to happen. The history of Haiti and any form of military action be it from Haiti itself or from ANY foreign power has consistently proven to be an abject and colossal FAILURE!
When I first heard what was happening in Haiti, I knew it would get worse. So, I am not surprised to hear this. Yet, I am surprised that no one has addressed this issue from the connected country, Dominican Republic. This will affect them, not just by refugees, but by the treat this will post on their country when they decided to expand their territories. Why isn't the Dominican Government doing something about this?
I was in Guayaquil the day before things broke bad and as an American out of touch with anything of the sort it felt incredibly surreal to have been that close to this type of violence

It’s a miracle Haiti lasted as long as they did. I hope Haiti and everywhere else finds peace and safety.
At this point of Haitian history. You be better off wishing to find a pot of gold next to the end of a rainbow. With a Leprechaun standing near by.

A place freed from slavery after a revolution, has been enslaved by dictators ever since.
My thoughts go out to the honest and innocent citizens of Haiti, i wish their lives where better.
I remember as a little kid knowing haiti as the worst place on the planet and its only gotten worse...im 35 for perspective
reading "The Comedians" (1966) by Graham Greene may provide you with even more broad historical perspective...
Same.
And I'm 51.
Haiti was not the worst place on the planet. And I'm not relying on your opinion or mine but on things like in infant mortality, life expectancy, things like this. When you were young, it was certainly a very poor country with a low human development index, but it was not the worst in the world by any of these measures.
Same, and im 62.

So Cyberpunk 2077 wasn't far off with the Voodoo Boys...
The voodoo boys were invented for cyberpunk 2020. Published back in the 80s. Haiti has always been a victim of greater powers.
Back in the day I had 2 trainees, (not at the same time) one from DR and one from PR. Both were police officers in their native countries.
The PR guy told me one night, “I was talking to DR last night, he patrolled 5 miles on foot. No vehicle because they couldn’t afford one. And I thought our department was poor.”
The thing I find so poignant about that conversation was the conversation I had with DR. He told me how grateful he was that he had been born in DR instead of Haiti. I’d literally known nothing about it until then, and then I realized as much as I thought I’d seen, I’d seen nothing.
My heart hurts for the people that are just trying to live their lives and raise their children.

To be fair, Haiti has been cycling between "on the brink of collapse" and "collapse" since it was first colonized by Europeans, and it was probably a bit of a mess before that, too.
Typical response, blame the Europeans for everything I guess
@@MegaHzz Well, there aren't a lot of records to show how much of a mess Hispaniola was under the Taino, but I'm sure the periodic earthquakes and hurricanes had some effect.

No one should interfere in Haiti lest they want to be blamed for it in the future.
I agree. As bad as if sounds, I think the entire world should just stand back and let the Haitian people chew on themselves. It's incredible to think so, but life in Haiti will only get worse, much more worse than imaginable.
Exactly, they have a nasty habit of biting the hands that feed them. Some of the most ungrateful people.

In an alternate universe somewhere, French football legend, Thierry Henry is somehow leading Haiti into a golden age
How do I get there 😅
cOLoniZaTioN BAd 🥴
In an alternate world we dont consider sportsballers to be big heroes who can lead anything.
Golden Age. Yea. What a dream.
I remember back in 2010 there was some kind of crisis in Haiti. My Dad's best friend Mike Luman owned a large portion of Aurora municipal Airport here in Illinois and put together a mission with him, his son, and a bunch of friends flew from Illinois to Haiti in their own planes full of food, water and medical supplies. In one day they flew to Haiti, landed, unloaded the planes in like an hour and turned around and flew back to Illinois in the same day and repeated this mission every day for at least a week or so. All using personal aircraft, personal donations, various food and drink donations from local food banks like salvation army, local churches, the local police and fire departments here in Aurora and surrounding suburbs west of Chicago. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen, my dad and I helped them load the airplanes stage everything for each following load.
Massive earthquake
While that was nice of your dad's best friend to do such a thing to try and help, as we have seen through the years Haiti like many other African run nations are lost causes. As long as Africans try and run their own countries without any skills, little education and corrupt free individuals they will ALWAYS continue to fail.
@UzumakiNaruto_ I was in Haiti after the earthquake, and although you anecdotal summary may have merit, I was blessed with helping beautiful kind souls.
@@UzumakiNaruto_Almost like there’s a reason for not having having those problems.
Apply some logic.
Stupid to give free food and water to haiti people...leth them make farming work ..like normal people 😊
Thank you for the channel Simon, keep giving quality news as opposed to all the mainstream crap
I think Haiti has been falling lol
since the 1800s
Or since 1492
Pretty much. Since their independence they have been gettings sucked dry from Colonial powers. France, US, you name it.
After the slaves won against France they were forced into debt for decades to pay sums far far far in excess of their paltry GBP, as expected of a newly independent nation of former slaves. Or selse face being invaded by a renewed French force.
Then later the US literally stole the funds from their Central Bank.
That's on top of European and US powers literally deligitimizing their status on the global stance inhibiting their ability to trade and develop their economy i.e. infrastructure , technology, finish goods, services etc. And then the destabalizing and inteference in their political system by same said powers. Even the assassins of Haiti's last president has ties to the DEA.
It's sort of a running joke but when you really look into it, colonial powers and the US are at fault for much for much the issues in "developing countries". The structures, political, economic or social, that were used to colonial powers to keep colonies in check and dependent have largely stayed in place either still benefiting European powers or unfortunately adopted by unscruplous locals who used it to benefit themselves at the expense of the normal man.
@luminoushd7917 that was so cringe worthy.
@@Lelendelet’s be honest, Haiti’s problem is the Haitians. The DR is doing fine. It’s because Haitians keep putting dictators in power and can’t figure out how to not be corrupt
@@Lelende How were they forced into debt? They could have simply stopped paying. They are an independent country and they would not be the first who decided to not pay their debts.
Our Govt is nuts if they even remotely think the U.S. wants to get involved in ANOTHER unnecessary conflict.
The Neo-con/uni party class just has to have more wars. They can’t ever just accept that the American people don’t want our male family members to die for nothing
i don't think the us needs more than a week to clear haiti and would bring regional stability, basicly needs to do like the el salvador president otherwise you'll have a Yemen right under US.
well if the people try to flee to the USA it does become a problem, just enforce a naval blockade, don't let anyone in or out except maybe aid workers or something and just let the problem fix itself.
I miss when I was a little kid and actually believed that the US wanted to help other countries
@@SpeedDaemon3Uh huh. How does the u.s. "clear" Haiti?
Just think how scary these gangs would really be if any of them knew how to use a rifle. Lots of shots of un shouldered rifles being fired with out even looking down sights. Accuracy by volume I guess.
They do know.
I noticed several of the rifles in the video don't even have any sights on them.
I lived in S.Florida when Haitians were coming over in boatloads. We lived on a deadend street where there were 3 small rental homes that had about 4 Haitian families each. I wish i could think of a single nice thing to say about them. The Haitian embassy sued the state who tried to protect homeowners with the "single family housing " rule, and the state lost .
In the 1980’s, I met the chief bodyguard of “Baby Doc”, the former son and ruler of Haiti. It was in Paris. He was, I think reluctantly, attending a cooking school with his wife/girlfriend. The man was enormous. He seamed like a man who could break you in half with no worry in the world. I was in the same classroom and kitchen with him and was introduced. It was truly terrifying. I’m sure he had lots of stolen money from Haiti and probably had a villa in France. He was only at the school for about a week. Everyone was happy to see him gone.
😂 he was harmless under French law
How do you be the former son? Who your dad is isn't the kind of thing that changes
This is one of the best stories of regular White guy scared by enormous black guy I’ve ever heard! 👍🏻👍🏻

I think the German intelligence leak is the most surprising of the 3 topics.

@@bobsagetthelord6621embarassing in the eyes of the rest of the world, but we Germans aren't just used to it, we are proud, the generals finally discovered WhatsApp, and wanted to use it to send classified data, instead of documents on paper or facsimile 🤷♂️

I kinda had that same thought at the start of the video
Simon has multiple channels.
Be glad you didn't see him 12 months ago I think he was up to presenting about 12 by then, he's stopped down from about 5 of those. Now it's just a constant stream rather than the full overtaking of the net we used to joke about 😂

@@TheTomconroy TopTenz, Biographics and Geographics were caught up in a little drama after the death of the actual channel owner. Simon's team has created "Places" to replace Geographics but I don't think the others have been remade. There's also a couple other side ones but they either haven't been uploading much or they fell off of the algorithm.
If a normal country can be equated with a server delivering your food at a restaurant, Haiti is a plate of food which was dropped, splatted on the floor and the server is now trying to use both halves of the broken plate to try and clean it back up.
There’s no wait it’s that good.
With youtube channels are like the punters that clap at the calamitous sound of dishes hitting the floortiles...

Damn straight sir 😢😢😂
How was the plate broken tho ? Oh Telly hat part tell the part where the plate was thrown around by 2 other people
I lived in Jamaica in the late 80’s and early 90’s. I’ve seen Jamaica rise into a star island where billions of dollars flow in through commerce and tourism. Haiti seems to be stuck in time i wish they spoke English and had some infrastructure that enables its very talented and smart citizens to thrive.
Smart? When the country in chaos, means majority of citizen are dumb, sorry but it's fact. Looks at asian countries, almost all are developed or going in right way
There was tourism before Covid, the f you mean. Not only that, but there are plenty of Francophone islands with thriving tourism. Why do you feel the need to comment about a situation you have no understanding of?
Talented & Smart? Haiti?
First Venezuela, now Haiti.
Time to start taking notes, ladies and gentlemen, because if you think it couldn’t possibly happen in your country, well, I’ve got news for you…
It can.
Socialism sucks.
Both countries have completely different reasons for completely different crisis...
Thank God the Kangz are not in my country
What's happening to Haiti is devastating. Truly so sad :/
Giving people money doesn't weaken gangs, it makes them stronger.. how have we not learned this yet?
You have. It is called revenue.
Im Dominican and watch your videos all the from brain blaze to side projects. Thankful that you are constantly giving heavily detailed reports on the issues. I genuinely get more unbiased information about the issue from you than even from my own people. Im saddened by the tons of racist messaging in these comments and genuinely the global conversation. I implore anyone just spouting stuff to watch your historical videos on Haiti and then speak on the topic. Keep doing your thing Simon!
Was a politician wrong by calling it a s***hole?
Nice South Park reference Simon :)
Love your work, keep it up!
Thankyou Simon and team for all your hard work.
We should all be grateful for Simon for his videos that provide all the info we need about current geopolitics.
Don't forget his excellent team of writers and researchers.
You do know he is just a paid voice actor? He has nothing to do with the research or writing.
That stock footage of people playing Jenga totally wrong is just confusing. How did they manage to find someone who not only used both hands but just kept the block she pulled. 😂😂
Jenga rules: take out a block below the top level using one hand and stack back on the top. Winner is last one who stacks before the person who spills the tower.
The biggest question I have is this: How will the gangs feel when no one wants to trade with them. This isn't a good look for Haiti
Bold to assume they want anything beyond an island-nation of their own to make a Somalia 2.0. If they manage to gain control for any extended period of time, expect to see them prey upon boats and shipping.
They would attack ships.
@@stillcantbesilencedevennow Perhaps, but then they'll be on everyones watch list
This is just the the Somali issue all over again
Black markets are always open for business
they will advance to the South Border of USA... wonder why they haven't figured it out yet
Wonder if it could count as the Haitian "Storming of the Bastille"? Oof, how bad is the Haitian version of Robepierre going to be?
Very, VERY bad.
nothing short of a Hannibal Lecter probably
He’d be an improvement.
Voodoo Robepierre
Let’s just hope for Haiti’s sake this doesn’t turn into another Saigon otherwise there won’t be very many Haitians left
That "security breach" was no accident. The information put out there was all by design.
That would be amazing
Hope so because if not it was super dumb of them.
I think it rather more likely that they are just THAT incompetent.
How convenient for the leader to be out of the country - too convenient - probably in an underground cave somewhere by now!
Odd that none of the aid we've sent haiti is ever audited / monitored yet we act surprised when bad people become untouchable in places that we send blank checks
They needed solid foreign investments that would have improved their economy like in Europe after WW2, not being drown it in foreign aid to the point of killing local businesses (specially local farms), that's why many African countries are still struggling to create jobs and businesses to this very day, sometimes the foreign aid for very long periods of time makes more harm than good.
Please add the struggles in Burma to one of your videos! Thank you!!
A friend of mine has met one of the body guards who was on the previous Haitian presidents security team, he said that was a dark day when the president was assassinated, directly lead to him retiring.
His father was the first elected leader of Haiti. His family is beloved. This is for them.
Every 60 seconds that passes. Haiti is falling apart
Honestly have to worry for the Dominican Republic. This will inevitably spill over the border and threaten their country.
To fix Haiti someone would have to make it not Haiti
love this series!! could you please cover Congo?
Much more difficult. Congo is in the middle of nowhere. Very few journos want to risk going there. Used to be a nice country, spent a month walking and hitching across it.
Keeping the military on the street is not the long term plan. Ecuador is building two super prisons to house the gangs. The construction firm that built the prison in El Salvador is doing the work.
Thanks for the coverage of lesser known world issues. I listen to each situation room episode so keep it up’

All of them 😂

Such is the power and desire for relevance of political opposition in Africa that your enemies would block your efforts to put a fire out even if it was them on fire.
I mean they enslaved themselves and still do it till This day what do you expect really.
This narrative you copy paste everywhere. Is as misguided as everything else you probably understand. @theangrypenguin3014
The sad reality is Haiti is doomed to forever be poor. They live in one of the most earthquake prone areas in the world. Unlike Japan they don't have the funds to build earthquake safe buildins so every 20-30 years half the buildings in the nation will be destroyed.
That leads to more poverty and disease.
True
Japan has the funds the technology the integrity and the expertise along with experience
Haiti has yet to have any not to mention leaders whom truly care for their country folk
The Japanese have always built "earthquake appropriate" architecture, it didn't require modern technology. They had a highly developed pre-industrial culture before they encountered western industrialism.
@@robw7676 Yes ... Something that Haiti never was. It was an agrarian slave state that perpetuated slavery to maintain its exports. They also never had a truly functioning government that was always in a crisis.
How many RUclips channels have you worked for?

Im not sure I could Call Simons reporting here as information but if you are interessted in news with nuance then you should check out Dan Cohen’s documentary and journalisme on this subject
If you ask me, I think it’s gonna take a lot more than a thousand policemen led by Kenya to restore order to Haiti.
Maybe not to level of US intervention (considering how our previous ones didn’t really help in the long term), but definitely military involvement from another country.
Not going to happen. The history of Haiti and any form of military action be it from Haiti itself or from ANY foreign power has consistently proven to be an abject and colossal FAILURE!
The previous ones weren’t really there to help in the first place
Previous one wasn’t an intervention it was a takeover😂 which means they looted murdered and left
@@-nyte2063exactly but they’ll be quick to say “take accountability “😂 freaking jokesters
When I first heard what was happening in Haiti, I knew it would get worse. So, I am not surprised to hear this. Yet, I am surprised that no one has addressed this issue from the connected country, Dominican Republic. This will affect them, not just by refugees, but by the treat this will post on their country when they decided to expand their territories. Why isn't the Dominican Government doing something about this?
I was in Guayaquil the day before things broke bad and as an American out of touch with anything of the sort it felt incredibly surreal to have been that close to this type of violence
Fools go where angels fear to tread.
Good lord I cant even imagine telling my kids ''sorry kids you cant go to school today, there is a huge chance you would get shot in the gang war crossfire''.
Indigo Traveler on RUclips has a great series when he visited Haiti in the last few yrs. Shows the heavy situation there.

But Biden will let them in our borders.
Yup but Haitians will stay say Dominicans are racist 🤦🏾♀️ Haiti doesn’t even have a functioning government
