PORT-AU-PRINCE — At least 50 people are dead and another 100 were left injured in a confrontation between two gangs, G9 and GPep, that began last weekend in Cité Soleil. “On both sides, bodies of opponents are burned, these figures are underestimated,” said Joel Janeus, acting executive officer of Cité Soleil. As the gang wars continue unabated in the area, police have still not taken control. As a result, scores of people were fleeing the area or otherwise left to fend for themselves.

Not our problem. Go ask Hillary, she’s been collecting money for Haiti for years. Has she given them any yet?

Very good, OP. I just dropped a tenpenny nail into your introductory remarks and it dissolved. All gone. Didn't Walter White, a chemist, use something similarly caustic in Breaking Bad?

Their culture has been like this for centuries. A fellow student in college who was from the Dominican Republic, which shares the island with Haiti told me in the 1970s that the DR was very careful to keep all Haitians out of their country.

Mother of my child is from DR...Ya...they built a fence and a wall between the two sides of Hispaniola for "Reasons".
Keep in mind Haiti is the main(only?) Place where Slaves freed themselves, and thereby gained/maintained control of a Nation ever since.
Keep also in mind...when you look around the world at "Chithole" places, nearly all are former French Colonies, next are Portuguese, then Spanish...Former English Colonies are nearly universally pretty nice places.

Paywall, so I couldn’t read beyond the intro but…
#3 is correct. It’s their culture. Only they can fix it.

Anybody shocked by this. It's Haiti. Look at their history. After the major Hurricane we gave them billions. The money's gone and still nothing has changed. Get it yet...

Sounds like Haiti is almost as bad as Detroit on a Saturday night.
Funny the same POC are involved.

Well, at least Haiti is in a good place....on a small island, and fenced off from their only neighbor.

I have as much sympathy here as I have everytime I go to the 'heyjackass.com' website, and read Chicongos daily stats. It's mostly non-productive, societal leeches killing each other and it's black on black killings. The press and the race baiters don't care, and shouldn't expect me to care either. I know I sound un-Christian and almost like a member of the dem party, but after watching BLM and the antics of Sharpton and Jackson over the years, I just don't care. The press and the dems don't care either, it's all political. Besides that, the dems new fav groups are the perverts and baby killers!

Read the real history of Shaka Zulu and learn of what this "great black African leaders" actually did in history.
Much whitewashing (lol!) has been done on Shaka's history in the last 30-40 years or so by American blacks seeking to find/create their "great African leader" to match up against all the great European and American leaders of REAL history.
Shaka was more evil, violent and barbaric than most can imagine. And he was a product of his southern African black culture, and one of the dominant tribes of that region, the Zulus. It is stomach wrenching history for those who want to learn about what the history of southern African tribes is really like. And that cultural history has flowed to Haiti, unfortunately.

Actually #7 Detroit isn't that bad, Philly, Chicago, LA,. SF, Portland, Seattle and NY are now a lot worse because they have "gun control." In Michigan you can legally carry.
My church has a 'sister' church in Haiti I was asked to go on a mission trip, there was no way I was going to there. Thankfully I had a business trip that was a good excuse.

In addition to the problems outlined by posters above, Haiti has another problem. They really have nothing of value to export or exploit, so no other country has any desire to colonize this poor, violent little country. No oil, no diamonds, no rare metals. Not worth anyone's trouble to try to bring stability to Haiti. Colonization would be a good thing for Haiti but it was tried once with the resulting bloody slave revolts.

Re #13, good point, and yet, on the exact same island, with the exact same weather, soil and other resources, the Dominican Republic has maintained a veritable paradise by Haitian standards, although there is no doubt that DR is poor. I don't think that they have anything even remotely like the problems of the other half of the island.
Culture makes a huge difference in outcomes, given the same resources. African voodoo versus the Catholic Church is the broadest comparison.

Re #13, according to this source
https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-are-the-major-natural-resources-of-haiti.html
Haiti has a lot of oil, natural gas, gold and copper. Apparently nobody has yet decided it is worth the extreme trouble to deal with the Haitians to go after these resources.

I used to visit many nursing homes as a courier delivering meds at all hours of the day and night from a large commercial pharmacy. I would urge those seeking "a place for Mom" to avoid facilities staffed with Haitians.

This murderous rampage - - caused, of course, by white supremacists - - would not have happened - - if Tony Rodham were still alive. His gold mine - - part of the humane works of the Clinton Worldwide Initiative - - would have made every Haitian rich. The world could really use another Tony Rodham.
