If the Biden administration is “helping” then, YES, things will get much worse.

Voodoo, envy, vengefulness, no rule of law. The only way to gain wealth is to rise with a new regime and power. The individual entrepreneur is cut down

An alternative explanation is that the politicians in the countries providing the foreign aid are all getting wealthy through graft and have no interest in actually helping Haiti.

Even closer to Dominican Republic. Compare.

Just maybe they should have not murdered ALL of the Caucasians living there many years ago?

Haiti - the plantation where the slaves were never freed. From time to time, the ownership of the plantation changes hands, then the owners are always absentee, stepping on the land only to survey their ill-gotten possession, and to make promises that are never kept.

Feudalism is alive and well in the 21st Century.

Haiti was definitively analyzed by Hernando De Soto in his book “Mystery of Capital,” Haiti has no shot at a modern economy, no matter how much money is poured down its throat.

Rumor has it the country was dedicated to Satan some time in its past.

Teach them to play baseball.

Close to 20% of Major League Baseball players were from the Dominican Republic - Haiti's next door neighbor - just a few years ago.

The Dominicans are not killing each other for pocket change.

Yes, 80% of the population could be moved here.

The only fix is to stop all "foreign aid". Every penny. It just gets stolen by the corrupt, and induces fighting to get or maintain control over the money.

Haitians would probably be better off under feudalism.

Haiti is closer to tribalism than feudalism.

Gangs are simply developing tribes.

I wonder how long that will take to change. Since they and Haiti share the same island, the Zombie invasion could be next.

The Clintons, along with VICTORIA NULAND, have caused this CHAOS in HAITI!

Their neighbor, the Dominican Republic, has a critical mass of white/mixed people

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Dominican_Republic

“45% of Dominicans consider themselves to have some significant Indigenous/Endemic ancestry, 18% are white, 7.8% are fully or predominantly black and 74% are mixed”

Haiti’s average IQ is 67!

Could that have something to do with it?

The Dominican Republic is poor but have a solid tourist industry. Many resorts owned by Italians. I know this because I have a friend that used to go there. Who wants to be a tourist in Haiti? I remember when loony David Byrnes was promoting Haiti. DB from The Talking Heads

Amusingly, his biggest complaints about the DR were the all pervasive native music you hear everywhere. That would drive him nuts within 10 days.

Perhaps gang members of an armed gang should be treated as members of an irregular military group.

They could be rounded up and placed into camps until a peace treaty is negotiated.

It is my understanding that the Germans rounded up during 1941-1945 by the Soviet Union were not released until 1955.

Hidden cameras could be placed to identify gang members.
