  1. > While most of the gang violence is centered in Port-au-Prince — which is **80% controlled by gangs**

    Unreal. I hope Haiti can pull through and find some semblance of reason.

  2. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://apnews.com/article/haiti-gang-attack-arcahaie-682c8541c9fafb1f73c3172ae0ccbb31) reduced by 59%. (I’m a bot)

    > PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Gunmen invaded another town north of Haiti's capital on Thursday, shooting at people and setting homes on fire, just a week after a massacre killed at least 115 people in the country's central region.

    > Radio Télé Monopole reported that gunmen attacked the town before dawn, opening fire and wounding multiple people as they set fire to homes, especially those in the Vigner and Bercy communities.

    > Arcahaie is located between Haiti's capital and the central town of Pont-Sondé, where another gang, Gran Grif, is accused of killing more than 115 people last Thursday.

  3. perhaps they should consider making possession of firearms illegal

    it would be worth it to not have these kind of events

  4. Strict-Activity-5551 on

    But they dont want western influence because thats colonizing… they made their choices, freedom isnt free and it comes with huge cost

  5. And Trumptards are wondering why there’s been an influx of migrants. There’s a humanitarian crisis in Haiti, Venezuela, AND Nicorauga during Bidens term.

    I’m completely fine not touching this. It will make the US look bad whether we help or hurt. No aid, no military, no attempt to find some stooge to run the place. I think if non western powers want to take a crack at Haiti we should allow it to be their problem. “Hands off Haiti” is the slogan and I’m fine respecting it, I want nothing to do with this mess. There’s also a lot of conspiracy theories in /r/ Haiti that the us wants to “take their resources” and is causing all of this. 100 percent don’t want this garbage on our plate

  7. >Several radio stations reported that the attack was launched by the gang in the area of Canaan known as the Taliban. The gang has around 200 members and operates mostly in the northern part of the Port-au-Prince capital.

    The gang that carried out this particular attack has quite an interesting name, apparently. I wonder what drove them to call themselves that?

  8. I honestly feel like nothing will change unless there’s a military invasion and a pretty tight occupation happens, and that’s messed up.
