Do you think a US intervention can restore order in Haiti? Comment below and join the conversation.

[@carlgeslerst-jean7916]

The 2 most prominent figures Guy Philippe and Moise Jean Charles are not really friends with the US but the people want them as President... But they want Russia...Not clear if the presidential council backed by the US will help.

Gangs come handy for Politicians and the wealthy families of Haiti: to control the market, putting pressure on the government, attack dissidents, create chaos, to keep Foreign Investors at bay, and win elections. Welcome to Haiti. Oops, they help foreign powers swing elections too.

[@lotsa_potsa]

Damn, I learned alot about Haiti in 11 minutes. Love Palki

[@Medley3000]

Only that Mrs. Palki has "forgotten" some important things. 1. that the first black ruler Jean-Jacques Dessalines immediately proclaimed the empire of Haiti and by no means had equality for all in mind. 2. that there were numerous massacres of the white population during and after the revolution. 3. that there was a civil war between blacks and mulattos. 4. the USA occupied the country in 1915 because there were more than a dozen governments in Haiti between 1883 and 1915. The country was constantly torn apart by riots, killings and unrest. Most recently, on July the 28th, 1915, President Jean Vilbrun Guillaume Sam was lynched by a crowd of people.

Incredible crash course on Haiti's history. I wonder how was able to learn all of that so quick. Good Job Palki.

[@audacesfortunaiuvat-m3q]

She forgot to mentioned that Spain and England helped them. In the early days of the war the haitian battle cry was Long live the King of Spain. In the end the Royal Navy Blockade stop the French from resupply and sending more troops.

[@clifflegrand4848]

@@audacesfortunaiuvat-m3q I know, hence why I said a “ crash course”. It’s a short brief video, therefore you couldn’t get into every little details, it was more about the big picture. I’ve done the entire Haitian history myself back when I was in school, and I know there are plenty missing details and other important figures she didn’t mention, but I won’t blame her for that as it takes times to learn all that.

[@audacesfortunaiuvat-m3q]

@@clifflegrand4848 The reason I mentioned it is because she said in the beginning that they did it alone, and that's not true. Also no mention from her on how the DR was being force to pay for the French loan and so the DR independence movement, and that's keeping it nice.

It's true that Haiti has suffered at the hands of external powers. But at some point, they're going to have to take some responsibility for the current state of their country.

Sounds good but how exactly do they accomplish this?🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Kijaanamkaun]

​@@78vette11These things take time but should begin, even the tiniest steps can change the entire course. I noticed many Haitians are commenting here, which means they have internet access. They can start creating awareness using videos on KZbin or whatever video app they use. Along with this, they can start educating children because they're the future after all, and connect to teachers. They must better know how they can reach their people and convey such messages.

Please add that when Haiti got its freedom they didn’t NEED US help. The US joined all the powers of the time to give Haiti an embargo. No country was allowed to trade with Haiti unless Haiti agreed to pay French a debt and stop fighting colonizers. Haitians, once freed, fought the Spanish on the other side and freed Dominican Republic. They also housed and trained Simon Bolivar when he wanted to free Latin America. Haiti gave Bolivar soldiers and guns to free Latin America with 1 thing in return. Free all slaves everywhere they are victorious. Latin America got rid of the Europeans but didn’t want to free slaves. The US hated the Haitians because Haiti had a law that paid any sailor that bring anyone black from any part of the world where there’s slavery to Haiti. Haiti was the land where everyone is free no matter your skin color. When the civil war happened… go to Savannah Georgia to get that part of history. I’m My post is too long, I’ll stop here
