The fact that Haiti is run by an alleged cannibal warlord called barbecue is a level of dark humor you’d see in a Far Cry game. Art imitates life am I right?

Haitian government? There's no such thing.

“Once thought to be safe.” 😂😂😂😂 that has never been true.

Over a decade ago I had a gf go down there with her families church. I wanna say 2012 or around there. It was a couple years after the big earth quake. They ended up having to stay in basically a military compound and never even left. Kidnappings were rampant during that time. They had armed escorts to and from the airport. Needless to say it's been unsafe for a very long time

So Haiti then is actually a "failed state"?

I went to Haiti in February of 1960. We were warned then not go beyond the few blocks away from the dock where our ship was.

Not a penny more.

There is zero reason to believe that Haiti could ever get better.

Not our problem.

And when was Haiti supposedly safe, exactly? It has been this way for a very long time... decades if not a century.

Imagine sharing the Island with Haiti, now you understand the Dominican Republic.

Seems Haiti hasn't reached rock bottom yet.

“ that change will probably have to come from the outside “ come try it yeah?

I remember celebrities lecturing us all about how beautiful Haiti is!

Haiti is a sovereign state, they can clean up their own mess.

Haiti was the first place I saw such abject poverty. My church did charitable work, and I remember the number one thing the poor folks asked for was shoes because they didn't have any. I was young enough that I had not even considered families who couldn't get sneakers. Then I met a rich Haitian family, and they had an air-conditioned closet to keep their fur coats from getting ruined by the heat and humidity.

Lived in Haiti, not sure it could get much worse.

Incapable of governance.

My aunt and uncle live about 10 kilometers from the airport in Port au Prince. When they need to fly out, they hire a helicopter to fly them because it’s too dangerous to drive.

Aren't the Haitians the folks who sued a batch of UN peacekeepers a few years ago?
