It's called a government, and whenever they got one they liked in came the imperial powers.
"Ultimately, America’s cause merged into Haiti’s own, for the huge loans given to America weakened the French economy sufficiently that another revolution broke out in Paris and the world turned upside down all over again. Out of that chaos emerged a third revolution, and a new Haitian nation, which declared independence in 1804, the second American country to do so. Its path since then has been rockier than our own, to put it mildly, but it overcame more difficult challenges than we did, including the opposition of nearly every nation on earth, the United States among them.

Then why have we mistreated them so badly for over 200 years?
Oh, I'm sorry, MSM wasn't talking about their criminals:
"Many of Haiti’s worst criminals loose after earthquake; During disaster, thousands fled penitentiary" by Manuel Roig-Franzia, Washington Post | April 11, 2010
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Early one morning this month, in the buzz saw that is downtown Port-au-Prince, three men approached a police checkpoint, firing automatic weapons. When the shooting finally stopped, a seven-year veteran of the Haitian National Police force lay dead, his body riddled with bullets.
Police say the killers were dispatched by a gang leader named Ti Wilson, a menacing underworld force believed to control a kidnapping and robbery empire, who has taken to calling himself “Obama,’’ presumably as a symbol of power. What was particularly unnerving about this killing is that Wilson would be behind bars now, if not for the Jan. 12 earthquake that shattered Port-au-Prince.
I thought the U.S. military had secured the place!!
WTF, MSM?!!!!!!!
On that afternoon, while tens of thousands of Haitians were being crushed to death, Wilson and more than 4,500 other inmates slipped out of a wing of the National Penitentiary known as the “Titanic.’’
Unsinkable, but not indestructible?!
Since then, Haitian and international police say, the most notorious of the escapees have begun terrorizing neighborhoods, stolen aid supplies, and fought ever more pitched battles among themselves that threaten the stability of a fragile society still far from recovering from one of the worst disasters in recent memory.
As opposed to the regular Haitian thugs and the U.N. "peacekeepers," right?
"International officials and the Haitian government credit MINUSTAH with improving security in Haiti. But some Haitians see the foreign troops as prone to using reckless force with impunity. When last summer massive crowds attended the Port-Au-Prince funeral of Father Gerard Jean-Juste, a popular priest, U.N. troops were seen on state television opening fire"
"The coup was promoted to advance the process of neoliberal capital accumulation, break the left and the unions, and break Famni Lavalas and the civil society organisations sustaining resistance. For years, UN 'peacekeepers' have slaughtered thousands of Haitians, and the residents have been put through rigged election procedures."
I guess that is "keeping the peace," huh?
And now they are letting these guys run wild?
As the gangs have gained confidence, their turf wars have suddenly spiked, filling the same city morgue that swelled with quake victims with gunshot victims: at least 50 in the past few weeks....
Yeah, the GREATLY-TRUMPETED GLOBALIST RESCUE is a MISERABLE FAILURE!!!
Gangs have charged into settlement camps slashing machetes to swipe food and water delivered by aid groups, stolen money from sidewalk vendors, and gunned down passersby to steal as little as a few hundred Haitian gourdes, the nation’s currency, police say.
But not when Biden and Obama take a stroll, right?
Officials say the spike in violence is particularly demoralizing because Haiti had made great strides to bring the gang problem under control before the earthquake. In heavily militarized offensives that peaked three years ago, UN police fought gun battles block by block in neighborhoods controlled by gangs....
More dead Haitians from the saviors, I see.
The campaign crippled most of the major gangs and led to the arrest of the country’s most notorious gang leaders, all of whom were sent to the National Penitentiary. Police say the kidnapping and homicide rates plummeted, but now those same gang leaders are being blamed for a resurgence of crime....
The prison break essentially unleashed Haiti’s former most-wanted list — all at once. Saint Victor, a bearlike 300-pound-plus former policeman arrested for drug trafficking, fled.
It's always the SAME F***ING THING!!!!
The circumstances of the mass prison break remain clouded in controversy.
Oh, no!!
Some exterior walls were damaged by the quake, but Mario Andresol, Haiti’s national police chief, said that interior walls held firm. He is certain that some of the guards panicked and fled, many leaving behind their weapons, which the prisoners took. A small UN contingent, stationed outside the prison, also fled, Andresol said. Even so, he said, there is almost no way prisoners could have escaped without help from authorities.
And THERE YOU GO!
Hey, CRIMINALS HELPING CRIMINALS!
Isn't that part of the code?
One week after the quake, the warden, Olmaille Bien-Aimé, disappeared and hasn’t been seen since, Andresol said. “This situation makes the escape very suspicious,’’ said Andresol, a muscular 49-year-old former Haitian Army officer who trained at the School of the Americas in Georgia.
And the WHOLE WORLD KNOWS about THAT SCHOOL!
US PARAMILITARY OPERATORS available for dispatch!
Of course, when you are a CRIMINAL and SERVE in GOVERNMENT you are often a HERO!
After the quake, Andresol created an undercover team to hunt down the escapees, some of whom are suspected of scattering to small villages far from the capital. Most of those captured have been minor criminals. The big killers remain on the loose, and they are well armed — police say they’re often outgunned by gang members wielding assault rifles.
Oh, I think we can all pretty quickly see who is employing these guys.
