Not too long ago there was a rise in cigarette prices and there were small riots about that too. Is there a supply issue or money issue causing these price hikes? Or is it something else?

I was told they didn't even give one. Just announced it was coming.

 

[get these nets]

roughly translated

"this message goes out all Haitian people.....stay out of the "hot" zones.....don't want body to get hurt..........for what's about to go down on Monday. and to the little cops.this message is for y'all too...y'all don't have enough guns...."
stopped translating after that because it seems fishy.

seems like a fake threat from a random person who speaks kreyol....propaganda of some sort though I don't quite know the intent.

More corruption and Criminal behavior by the US/West puppet presidency. They know what was going to happen... same reason the banana President and his entourage was not in Haiti but "visting " other nations at this time. c00ns cant explain themselves. The puppet is probably with western officials planning they next move as plan




Haiti Gov't Suspends Fuel Price Hike After Unrest

The fuel price rise falls under the terms agreed between the Haitian government IMF, which implied the cessation of public subsidies for oil products.


Haiti's Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant suspended a fuel price hike Saturday after protests against the new prices broke out the day earlier and left at least one policeman dead in the capital, Port-au-Prince.

"I ask for your patience because our administration has a vision, a clear program," the head of government said in a conference broadcast on state television.

Demonstrations erupted on Friday in Haiti's capital after the government announced a sharp hike in fuel prices. The move falls under the terms agreed on with the International Monetary Fund, or IMF, in February, which implied the cessation of public subsidies for oil products. As a result gasoline prices increased by 38 percent, diesel by 47 percent and kerosene by 51 percent.

The government attempted to defend the accord signed with the IMF, saying that the reduction of public subsidies unfairly privileged the economy of the citizens of the neighboring Dominican Republic, who cross the border in search of cheaper fuel prices.

Protestors, however, would have none of it. Store and car windows located in the most affluent neighborhoods of Haiti's capital were smashed.

Several main roads and intersections were blocked by barricades on Saturday morning. Several airlines, including Air France and American Airlines and Air France, cancelled flights to the Caribbean nation. A flight that was already en route was redirected to Pointe-a-Pitre in Guadeloupe.

The director of Haiti's national police, Michel-Ange-Gedeon, lamented the death of the policeman who was lynched. “We understand your right to protest, to vindicate, but we do not understand violence." He also reported that at least two police stations were burned as well as several police cars.”

Breh... I gotta blame the people for this one. If you're unhappy with the government then go protest in front of government buildings and do your damage there. No need to be setting fire in front of hotels and burning and looting private enterprises. Haiti needs as much investors as it can get. Who in there right mind is gonna invest in a country knowing that when people are unhappy the investor's business is likely to go up in flames.

• Nissan dealership: up in flames
• Croix De Bouquets court house: up in flames
• DeliMart on Delmas 30: Up in flames and looted
• Countless other businesses and random cars parked in the street: up in flames.

Grimos? Really?
After we spent the last 20+ years since Aristide's first term trying to shed that reputation/perception that investors are bound to lose any money they invest in haiti and now it's all down the drain again. What business can afford the kind of insurance that would cover you in such a volatile environment.?
You're looking at Haiti and calling out "grimos" because you're looking at the situation with an american mindset thinking the same rules apply the same way. The whole "grimos run the country" thing is overstated on this side of the ocean especially by cats who've never live din haiti.

What cats like you dont understand is that a lot of these so called protests are sponsored/paid for by opposing political parties. YES you read that right. MOFOS GET PAID TO PROTEST. You think random clowns just manufacture all these burning tires in their backyards to burn and baricade the streets?You have a lot to learn about Haitian politics, doggy

It's a simpe question, @Dip

After you just saw what hapenned this past weekend , would even you, proud black haitian risk investing any money you care about in Haiti? I'm not saying we dont have corrupt government officials. But the people have to control themselves too. The opposing political parties have to stop fueling the fire too. But above all the people have to stop being destructive. You tell me even if the Chinese deal was still in play after they saw this if they'd be willing to spend $10B in Haiti knowing that their private enterprises may go up in flames the minute the people are unhappy.

The mofos set fire to Brasserie nationale for Chris' sake. A business that employs thousands. I'mma see how you feel when they set fire to the Barbancourt company. Hell BarBancourt has been under pressure to sell and move to DR for a while and then they decided to stay. Now watch their investors say fukk it and leave with the company. Leave a bunch of mofos unemployed and your biggest brand GONE.

If they burned government offices i'd be all for it. Killed a few corrupt senators to make an example i'd be all for it. But this? GTFOH

Yes they are settlers from the 1920s and 1930s. They came from a larger economy with all their money and bult businesses. They didnt steal land like in South Africa, As a matter of fact they had to go through all kinds of loopholes to be even able to BUY lands in Haiti because you had to be a citizen.

What they did in the 20s and 30s was marry or have their kids marry Haitian women and have the businesses under their names. These Haitian women got their cut because their children inherit the shyt.

It's simple doggy. You living in the U.S. are in a larger economy. You go to a small country you have more money than the average joe. You invest said money and you;re now a big fish in a small pond unlike where you were before. Nothing wrong with that

I still dont understand why you all are stuck on this particular thing tho. I mean...it cant be that hard to understand.. If you're a millionaire and move to Costa Rica right now and are willing to invest the Costa Rican government will roll out the red carpet for you. WHen you have money and you are coming from one of the G8 countries it's easy to go be a big fish in a small pond in a small country. I dont understand why you US born haitians are always pointing this out as if it's some kind of magouy going on.
