Haiti protesters demand President Moise step down
--- Quote ---
> Clashes between the opposition and security forces right next
to the presidential palace have become a regular occurrence in
Port-au-Prince - as protesters continue to demand President
Jovenel Moise step down.
> Haiti's constitution says a new president's term begins on
February 7 - everyone agrees on that, but not on which year.
President Moise says he has another year in office. As far as
the opposition is concerned, his time is up this Sunday.

Yep, this is how easy it actually is to execute a successful
assassination. All it takes is a firearm. So why not Orban? Why
not Salvini? Why not Frederiksen? Think of all the drownings in
the Mediterranean (that have been ongoing daily since 2015 FFS!)
that could have been prevented with a few well-picked
assassinations.

And as many of us probably already suspected before it was even
announced:
Haiti assassination allegedly involved Americans and retired
members of Colombian military, officials say
--- Quote ---
> The violent fallout from the assassination of Haitiian
President Jovenel Moise was evident on Friday near his private
residence in the capital of Port-au-Prince.
> Burned-out cars, spent bullet casings, bloodstains and
bullet-pocked walls were what remained of a shootout between the
police and some of the suspected assassins on Route de Kenscoff.
> Haitian authorities told CNN that three burned-out cars
belonged to members of the armed group who assassinated Moise
early Wednesday morning.
>
> The armed group are "professional killers," consisting of more
than two dozen people, including two American citizens and
retired members of the Colombian military, authorities have
said.
>
> But as more details begin to emerge of the people who
allegedly killed Moise, little is known about the suspected
masterminds and their motivation for the attack.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> The Haitian government on Friday requested US troops to help
protect infrastructure, ports, airports and energy systems
following the assassination, Elections Minister Mathias Pierre
told CNN. Mathias said the request was for a limited number of
around 500 troops, and that he anticipated the threat to be
"potential mercenaries."
> Haitian officials have given conflicting accounts and numbers
for those killed following the assassination attack. Citing
figures from Haitian police, the office of acting Prime Minister
Claude Joseph told CNN that three suspects were killed in a
shootout with authorities.
> As the pursuit of those responsible intensifies, details have
emerged relating to the arrest of 11 armed men in the grounds of
Taiwan's embassy in the capital Port-au-Prince on Thursday.

This is what we like to see. The US is probably the best
destination, although France would also be a good choice. Canada
is another possibility.

> In Haiti, factories close, school feedings are on hold and
hunger is about to get worse
> ...
> For Haiti, where 45% of the population was already nearing
starvation in March, the looting is exacerbating the deepening
hunger crisis. Food warehouses are empty. Supermarket shelves
are bare. And since Sept. 12, no containers have been been
unloaded at the seaports, leading shippers to temporarily pause
all delivery of cargo, including food.
> ...
> Children are now dying at an increasing rate, said Mickie
West, a missionary with But God Ministries in the Ganthier
community.
>
> “We can’t get food for our schools, and people in the village
are starving because they have no access to food or clean
water,” she said.
>
> From Jacmel in the south to Port-de-Paix in the far northwest,
basic commodities are becoming increasingly hard to find, or
afford when available.
>
> “You can’t even find potable water to drink,” said Honorine
Jean, 42, a teacher caring for two teenage nieces in the city of
Gonaďves. “Day by day, the population is becoming worse off.”
> ...
> In March, the U.N. estimated that a third of the 2 million
people living in the Artibonite Valley were at risk of hunger,
while 13% faced severe hunger.
>
> A recent “Hunger Hotspots” report by the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the U.N. and the World Food Program estimates
that hunger will grow worse before year’s end.
>
> “We suspect there will be a serious deterioration of food
security for people, adding to and compounding the difficulties
people are facing every day if not every hour,” said Ulrika
Richardson, the U.N. resident and humanitarian coordinator in
Port-au-Prince.
> ...
> The World Food Program has said it had to put its school
feeding program on hold because nearly 2,100 metric tons of
food, valued at $5 million, were looted from two of the agency’s
warehouses. The food collectively would have fed 200,000 school
children and vulnerable adults until the end of the year.

This is why sending food relief is not the answer: there is no
guarantee it will actually reach those who need it. The most
efficient way to get starving people fed is to let them migrate
to where the food is. I don't know why this is so difficult to
understand.
--- Quote ---
> A father of five whose children range in age between 21 and
35, Mondesir works in agriculture. He recalls the days when the
rice-growing Artibonite Valley fed Haiti. But drought, natural
disaster, bad governance and now rising costs have made those
days a distant memory.
>
> “We used to produce enough rice to export abroad,” he said.
“Now, everything has been destroyed. ... All of Haiti is
destroyed.”
--- End Quote ---
Do you know which civilization is to blame for the drought?
Hint: the same one which colonized Haiti in the first place. See
