FRANCE 24 exclusive report in Haiti : the Iron Grip of the Gangs • FRANCE 24 English

In Port-au-Prince, nearly three million people are living in the grips of an asphyxiating gang war. The crisis continues despite the arrival of the first Kenyan police officers as part of a UN-backed multinational force to stem the violence. Although this international effort offers a glimmer of hope, few residents believe it could provide an effective or long-lasting solution. FRANCE 24's Catherine Norris-Trent and Roméo Langlois bring you behind the scenes of this exclusive 52-minute documentary.

[@bmbm1378]

The Dominican Republic are more privileged by other country. Haiti pay the price for being the Forst black Nation who fought hard for their freedom and their oppressors. Their mindset are the same. They are yhr same people just been divided. Are you aware that Haiti has financed the entire construction of the Eifel Tower in Paris and France paid nothing in return. Yes !

[@georgeabernathy6646]

@bmbm1378 no, I had no idea that this underdeveloped country Finance the Eiffel Tower and got nothing in return. My question is why would they do such a thing.
