That’s like asking where do drugs come from? There are illegal markets for guns just like there is for drugs and these gangs have also taken over the police stations and taken all of the weapons that they had and also have been able to get weapons that were used by their collapsed military. There are plenty of videos on line of gangs of Haitians with nothing but swords, still committing murders without guns! And they are locking people in buildings and setting the buildings on fire, burning those trapped inside alive, which is also mass murdering without guns. Some gangs are cannibalizing the victims that they murder too! Are outside forces causing the evil mf’s choosing to consume human flesh, responsible for that happening too? The attempts to blame everyone else except for the Haitians themselves for the atrocities that they are committing against their own people, is beyond pathetic. 🙄 Those that don’t have guns themselves are still committing mass murder without guns and using whatever tool they have access too to murder! The Haitians are the only ones to blame for what’s taking place and everybody with a functioning brain knows it!

[@Friedfish-zm7fx]

The problems of Haiti are caused by Haiti, not by external forces. People blaming the USA, France, United Nations, and others for the problems of Haiti are treating Haiti as an infant, a helpless, useless, clueless, witless child. Haiti fought hard for its independence in 1804. Haiti needs to figure out the purpose of being an independent Nation. How is Independence useful to and for the people of Haiti? For many years Haitian leadership behave to be subservient to external forces, making a farce of Haiti's supposed Independence. Back in the 1960's, an American car company made an offer to Papa Doc Duvalier: the roads, bridges, and other infrastructures will be built and maintained cost-free if the country buys all its cars and trucks from this American company. Papa Doc Duvalier rejected the offer; he liked the French Citroën and German Mercedes-Benz cars. Apparently the USA asked Haiti to establish a military base and Haiti rejected all the offers. Yes, Haiti can demonstrate Independence, display defiance. USA and Haiti. For the USA, first was Declaration of Independence, second was War. For Haiti, first was War, second was Declaration of Independence. BIG DIFFERENCE. Years before 1776, the founders of the USA debated, argued, counter-argued about the requirements, attributes, qualities needed for nationhood, thus slowly forming a proper mindset and proper temperament of the american people for eventual nationhood. In the case of Haiti, there was first Rebellion, visceral Anger, most Righteous Anger, blood-churning lust for Revenge against the French colonists. War was engaged and won by the Haitian slaves. A war engaged without aforethought, without afterthought akin to a fight initiated by a hot-headed person driven by righteous anger. The war won, what now? Declaration of Independence of 1804 was the only valid alternative because re-inviting French rule defeats the purpose of the war. The key point is: in 1804 the Haitian people was not prepared for effective nation building. That the French came back in 1826, required and actually got reparations from Haïti implies that Haïti's independence was a façade, a joke. With Independence comes responsibility and the ability to defend oneself. After 1804 Haïti built 20-odd fortresses about 5 miles inland: they would concede coastal areas because France had a Navy and Haiti did not. But Haiti got overextended with their invasion of the Dominican Republic. Ooops!!! Independence for independence's sake is a silly concept. Ask yourself what is the purpose for independence. A 5 year-old child is foolish to seek independence from the parents. Yes, France were terrible parents. There is no International Child Protection Services for Nations. So Haiti, the 5 year-old child, was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Bad Karma. USA and Haiti. The first step of a voyage is the most important because errors made in the first step are rarely corrected and the rare corrections are made very slowly. George Washington accepted a second term reluctantly and rejected a 3rd term. Jean-Jacques Dessalines made himself Emperor. George Washington adhered to the principle of Federalism, with Democracy at the State level, Dessalines went from Presidency straight to Monarchy. Dessalines was followed by Henri Christophe who declared himself King. Haïti did not start going the Democracy route. Monarchists did not return to the USA but Monarchy returned to France at least twice after the French Revolution. Marxists pine for the violence of the French Revolution. The American Revolution preceded the Haitian and French Revolutions by at least 10 years and the latter 2 revolutions learned nothing from the first. Go figure.

Sending our police to Haiti might not be wise due to the complex political situation in Haiti. While Kenyan police have demonstrated professionalism in dealing with gun violence at home, Haiti's unstable political environment could pose significant challenges. Haiti's political instability and history of conflict may require a more nuanced approach, potentially involving diplomatic efforts and comprehensive international support, rather than solely relying on law enforcement interventions. Therefore, sending Kenyan police to Haiti may not be the most effective or sustainable solution to address the underlying issues contributing to violence in the country.

[@johngat4517]

Kenya police is the best suited to at least restore normalcy by dealing with the urban gangs.Our forces have been to peace missions in Burma Sierra leone and Yugoslavia war.This is civil unrest so well GSU can deal with the gang ruthlessly and save haiti women and children from violence rape and destitution.

Think about offering a better solution instead of just acting concerned. It might not be wise to send white people to squash protests in a black country. This would immediately put the country into a state of shock

[@waywaywaywaywaytoolongtore7496]

the only alternative is to finance their own police by seizing all assets of all wealthy people in the country (which could only be done with the approval of the gangs, which would again be costly and provide the gangs with more money, which would mean the gangs will still survive for a long time even against a strong police/military). Not to mention it would be a severe violation of human rights. Or send forces from a non black country which would put haiti into a state of shock for a while (also not very humane). Kenyan police is the best solution I can think of

Control over sovereignty is virtually nonexistent in Haïti; it is dominated by a primary foreign nation along with other satellite foreign entities. These external powers impose decisions without any input from Haïti's supposed leaders or politicians, effectively bypassing the nation's democratic processes. The foreign influence, especially financial, deters Haïti from preserving its structural heritage, crucial for knitting together the country's fragmented dynamics and maintaining its social integrity. This influence extends to the redefinition of the country's judicial evolution, isolating the social contexts that should balance its legal narratives and leaving the nation's historical and cultural framework in jeopardy.
