"Haiti: Gang Opens Fire on Christians Protesting Lawless Violence"--Breitbart. From the article:
A Haitian gang opened fire on a church protest in Port-au-Prince on Saturday, killing at least seven people. Video showed bodies lying in the streets, plus several people who appeared to have been taken hostage by the gangsters.
“This shooting is symptomatic of the state’s inability to protect its citizens,” said Gedeon Jean, executive director of the Center for Analysis and Research in Human Rights (CARDH), a Haiti-based activist group.
Jean said the death toll could be considerably higher than the seven reported so far. Some local media sources reported at least ten fatalities from the shooting.
The attack occurred when about a hundred people marched through an area on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince called Canaan. The community was founded by refugees from the powerful earthquake in 2010, which leveled countless buildings and killed about 220,000 people. Canaan began as a squatter’s camp, but today it is considered a reasonably functional suburb of Port-au-Prince, or perhaps even a city in its own right – the “accidental city,” as NASA dubbed it while measuring its growth with satellite photos.
Like much of Haiti, Canaan was claimed as turf by a violent gang after the assassination of President Jovenel Moise unleashed chaos in 2021. The group that rules Canaan is known as 5 Segonn, or the “Five Seconds Gang.”
Fortunately, Haiti has very strict gun control laws so the criminals can't get guns. Fun fact: did you know that Haiti is the oldest black run republic in the world?
And it is the nicest, most modern, and safe country to live in.
ReplyDeleteYup. That's what I hear.
DeleteA tourist hot spot.
ReplyDeleteAnd due to the number of NGOs and charities operating there, I assume a good place to launder money.
DeleteHaiti was he richest sugar colony in the French West Indies when they ran it and it was called San Domingo. The slave revolts that ended that were empowered largely by the Government of Revolutionary France that encouraged the massacre of the islands white population at the hands of the former slaves. The first ruler of the island crowned himself in the style of Napoleon. He also took the red/white/blue tricolor flag of Revolutionary France and symbolically ripped out the white field, symbolizing the removal of white people. This racial elimination of whites was written into the constitution of Haiti as well with a prohibition of white residents or citizens. Of course, the formerly prosperous land is now denuded of standing timber and the soil is wrung out and eroded from over use and abuse. This place is a perfect testament to the nature of the feral negro and the bitter fruit that will always come from allowing them to rule over anything.
ReplyDeleteIronically enough, the revolutionaries initially were not going to eliminate slavery. Only when faced with a slave revolt of their own did they back down.
