Haiti is running out of food and fuel as gangs control the streets.
Haiti’s government is appealing for an international force to combat the gangs, a call echoed by the UN Secretary-General and the US But any external force is a reminder of multiple American military interventions and many in Haiti oppose the proposal.
The country is still reeling from a series of shocks over the past 12 years. They include earthquakes, hurricanes, cholera, gang violence and a political vacuum left by the assassination of President Jovenel Moise last year.
Can a foreign force restore order in Haiti?
Presenter: Sami Zeidan
Guests:
Laurent Lamothe – Prime Minister of Haiti from 2012 to 2014
Joseph Harold Pierre – academic and consultant on Latin America and Haiti
Daniel Foote – former American diplomat and former U.S. special envoy to Haiti

We as Dominicans wants haiti to be good and restore law n order in that country we dont want to force haitians back to their country what we want is the international community to fix the issues and Goverment that provided to the people of haiti not keep taking all sources away from them they're our neighbors and we cant carried them as country we can only help them as we been doing for decades but they not going to come and destroy our country like they did to their own country thats NOT HAPPENING OK. France its to blame USA its to blame but they also have the sources to fix it. Not DOMINICAN REPUBLIC THATS NOT OUR PROBLEM WE HAVE OUR OWN ISSUES OK. WE WILL DEFEND AND PROTECTION OF OUR BORDERS. WE DOMINICANS NOT HAITIANS WAY TO DIFFERENT CULTURE SO NOOOO NEVER WE WILL FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY WITH ANY OTHER THAT TRIES TO DO SOMETHING.
NO!!!!! The ISA has tried three times going back 100 years! No foreign troops for Haiti! Tell them it is time for them to figure it out themselves and get it together. They have to own it or it will NEVER change!
Nobody cares about the cesspool
The foreign force is none but trouble makers, the west creates gangs in Haiti to unstable Haiti, the west is behind all violence, chaos, crises and gangs in Haiti, Haitians don't manufacture guns, where those guns come from? God takes note of the ugliness from the west, the karma is on earth, what goes around comes around
Foreign forces stay tf out! they don't want you there! they don't trust you! you have exploited and stolen from them! you are disgusting! leave them tf alone! especially America!
foreign force financing disorder. need to go home
We don't need any interventions
We need a rebel force just like the Taliban
To fight the evil
Within us
Lamothe knew well who funded the gangs. He also stole millions while he was the Prime minister he shouldn't
be invited to even speaks with the media. He should stand trial in Haiti.
Any other race they're rebels. But if Black, they're called "gangs"
Haitian does need America government are Canadian government to how to solve there problems, because these are the countries that caused this havoc in Haiti 🇭🇹, for too long, people don't want this president who is America puppet governing Haiti…
"A COUNTRY LIKE HAITI, 31 MILLION DOLLARS IS HUGE SOME." LAURENT LAMORT. He was the former prime Minister who stole more than 31 millions from Petro Caribbe funds. These so called politicians are so corrupt. They all contribute to what Haiti is in today.
Corruption is a lot harder to fix than sending in international troops to somehow stop these gangs. Totally unrealistic and Joseph should know better
I believe that another nation can and should solve the problem in Haiti.. maybe people of hatie should solve the problem with the help of the UN, and the other elite who already have plans for a one world government. But the only people who can solve it. Is the Haitians themselves.
How tf clean water on an island hard to find? Just stand still and dig a 40ft. That’s what we do in west Africa 🤷🏽♀️
I am tired hearing of the inefficiencies and no REAL help for the people of Haiti. Too many crooks and deceptive heads of the organizations who say they are helping while they are only helping themselves while the people suffer. In this day and age no clean running water a basic necessity for life
Who is responsible?
To start with , there is no government in Haiti, there is paupet in place put by the USA. He is man asking for his masters in Washington to come to help, it's a plan for USA for soft invasion, the gangs are supported by the USA and Canada 🇨🇦,
Lamorthe is the beach that put the country where is today, he is criminal, he should be in jail for stolen all the money
Haiti need the help. The situation has become inhumane there
Lamorthe is gangs himself, when he was in power , cultivate the gangs, he is a criminal, he should not be in the panel, this station , doesn't do his homework
The thing i don't understand to countries being colonized before is that they are always blaming their colonizers after being independent 50 years or more for their miserable life. What have you done to your country after your independence, the more you destroyed it. Blame your corrupt government not others who gave you freedom today. Let's accept the reality that the rich control the poor because they have means to do it. Ex. US, China, Russia, European Countries, ect.. these countries control the world.
Good afternoon my name is George morel born and raised in Haiti I hope someone can call me for interviews about Haiti please and thank you
Haiti has always been a complete mess since the revolution and that isn't going to change. Even if foreign intervention occurs, it won't solve anything either.
On a good day this Society of Haiti is a mess and always has been so I doubt if any outside Source can fix this. This is a type of Civil War they have to settle themselves
Please Haiti needs help .
Only gangs refused help they want to take over Haiti.
This is horrible !!! People should take a deeper look and understand why they are so mad !!!! I stand with Haiti….!!! 🙂 since the beggining of covid they have been in turmoil. Its so sad that no one knows or talks a out them in the news…there's a big reason for that !!!! 🙁 🤔🤔😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
They are killing your people. !!!! I'm so sorry !!!😢😢😢😢😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
1500 kidnappings ….wow …I'm sorr y !! 🙁
Daniel Foot I hope you're not one that's creating this environment 🎯
Brad Pitt look alike. Dude… ur tripping!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Foot!
Is Haiti asking for the UN or are the UN and USA volunteering to "help" and the Haitians are protesting because the UN has allowed USA to puppetize the present political leader? Didn't the UN Peacekeepers and US armed "helpers" leave diseases and unclaimed babies in Haiti the last time they were there? Is it really help they came to help? What help was achieved? Since the US involvement haven't more Haitians been leaving the country as the economy has gotten worse while the Clinton Foundation remains there?
The prime Minister needs to go because nine of 10 Haitian favor Russia over United States.
Why always Haiti ? The people paint a picture that whenever u see a black person is a barbarian my fellow black people we have to change .
France is the problem in Haiti. France drained Haiti from humane to inhumane. How can a country pay for liberating itself from the clinging claws of slavery. Remember this, Haitians are not stupid and that will be the biggest problem in the future.
The problem didn't start with gangs, Haiti was a peaceful country years ago. France needs to repay Haiti, every dime and let the country get on with it's sovereignty.
Haiti is a failed state.
Get half a dozen gangs and give them lots of guns and set them loose. Good old US will invade and restore order. It's that easy.
BBQ used to be a good police officer, pierre esperance make him become bad. Cause there is no justice, he has to defend himself. An Haiti pierre esperance is very powerful. He is the leader of 509. ONU has to mention his name too. He is the one who make ti Gabriel out from jail. BBQ trying to make all those gang to become one to ask good stuff for the getto. Ti lapli, izo prefere to do kidnapping because their boss will be mad.
When people fight back the government they are called gangsters or terrorist when government oppresses the people… They are called.? IMF probably has a big role in it
Send in the Taliban
