Haiti: Nearly a Million People Took to the Streets.They Want the Western-imposed government out of

[Apollo Creed]

I been hoping for a "peoples champ" and been saying that Haiti needs its own "Hugo Chavez" but tbh I dont even know. As for elections? It seems that the protesters just want to oust the corrupt PHTK party and oligarchy. I dont know whats their plan after.

that's usually grounds for more fukkery and fake elections to replace one puppet with another.

Carlos Trujillo... why does that name sound familar?

Off to do googles.

EDIT: That's why I had the when I read his name. He shares the same name as this guy

Haiti had historically occupied what is now the Dominican Republic, from 1822–1844. Encroachment by Haiti was an ongoing process, and when Trujillo took over, specifically the northwest border region had become increasingly "Haitianized."[33] The border was poorly defined. In 1933, and again in 1935, [Rafael] Trujillo met the Haitian President Sténio Vincent to settle the border issue. By 1936, they reached and signed a settlement. At the same time, Trujillo plotted against the Haitian government by linking up with General Calixte, Commander of the Garde d'Haiti, and Élie Lescot, at that time the Haitian ambassador in Ciudad Trujillo (Santo Domingo).[33] After the settlement, when further border incursions occurred, Trujillo initiated the Parsley Massacre.

Parsley Massacre
Further information: Parsley massacre
Known as La Masacre del Perejil in Spanish, the massacre was started by Trujillo in 1937. Claiming that Haiti was harboring his former Dominican opponents, he ordered an attack on the border that slaughtered tens of thousands of Haitians as they tried to escape. The number of dead is still unknown, though it is now calculated between 20,000 and 30,000.[Note 6] The Dominican military used machetes to murder and decapitate many of the victims; they also took people to the port of Montecristi, where many victims were thrown into the ocean to drown with their hands and feet bound.[35] In 1975, Joaquín Balaguer, the Dominican Republic's interim Foreign Minister at the time of the massacre, put the number of dead at 17,000.[36]

The Haitian response was muted, but its government eventually called for an international investigation. Under pressure from Washington, Trujillo agreed to a reparation settlement in January 1938 of US$750,000. By the next year, the amount had been reduced to US$525,000 (US$9.15 million in 2019); 30 dollars per victim, of which only 2 cents were given to survivors, due to corruption in the Haitian bureaucracy.[24][37]

In 1941, Lescot, who had received financial support from Trujillo, succeeded Vincent as President of Haiti. Trujillo expected that Lescot would be his puppet, but Lescot turned against him. Trujillo unsuccessfully tried to assassinate him in a 1944 plot, and then published their correspondence to discredit him.[33] Lescot was exiled after a 1946 palace coup.[citation needed]

Today may bring more violence as President @MoiseJovenel desperately tries to hold onto power. Multiple people have been shot during the last few days of protests and many hospitals are running low on or out of fuel as the gas shortages worsen #Haiti

This dude here

US $ 358,000.00 disbursed for President Jovenel Moise's trip to the UN. The President cancels his trip, but Minister BOCCHIT disburses 35,000.00 US $ more from the bottom of the passports. Another embezzlement?

Haiti: Government Mute on La Saline, Carrefour Massacres

More than 80 victims, killed, wounded and maimed, the Haitian government has not produced any report on the massacres which took place in the La Saline and Carrefour-Feilles communes of Port-au-Prince. It took 9 months after the first attack on citizens, La Saline, November 2018, but a few days after the United Nations Secretary General questioned the impunity in the case, July 12, that the Port-au-Prince District Attorney's Office provided some numbers but no report on the events.

Government Commissioner Paul Éronce Villard refuses to describe what happened in the La Saline massacre. He refers to it as the "La Saline dossier" and does acknowledge that people were "lynched, burned and riddled with bullets and dead bodies were found in the mud in the street", but not much more.

Mr. Villard provided figures, 96 persons of interest, 16 arrests, 14 automatic weapons siezed, for 71 victims according to local human rights organizations, 26 victims according to the UN. For the events in Carrefour-Feuilles, 18 arrests for 45 victims.

Gov't and Police Alleged Involvement
Human rights organizations and citizens have pointed the finger at members of the Jovenel Moise adminsitration as responsible for the attacks.

Coordinating with police and street gangs, Departmental Delegate of the Ouest Richard Duplan appeared to be the hands on coordinater, even witnessed on the scene of the attack in November along with some of the leadership in the local specialized police forces.

Both human rights organizations and the United Nations agree to these reports.

Time for him to go...this is getting ridiculous. Transition using election, he has lost total confidence of the nation. Too spineless to be president and hasn't delivered.

My folks who retired there dont know how Haitians eat because things are just too expensive. No price control...its getting too much.
