Cap-Hatïenne, Haiti, 1980's

[bijoumikhawal]

another Haiti news round up-

The US and the rest of the CORE group are not only continuing the invasion plan supported by the US and the Dominican Republic, they are explicitly aiming to rewrite the constitution. This has unfortunately happened multiple times in Haitian history. This article has been recommended on the subject.

The deportations of Haitians from the Dominican Republic have continued, and have had a massive negative impact on the local economy.

People are being crammed into deportation centers with terrible conditions.

In tandem, the US is also continuing to deport Haitians.

Additionally, the US ambassador to Haiti has admitted to having contact with prominent gang leaders. This not only arouses suspicion about the nature of this contact, it is a blatant example of imbalance and suppression. Haitian journalists cannot interview members of gangs without risking arrest. Many of the gangs in Haiti are also former police/military, and the discussion about "stabilizing" the country via outside intervention typically ignores that the gangs themselves have ties to the would be "stabilizers". These gangs often procure weapons and training from countries like the US, and gang violence has been increasing.

The sharing of photos or videos of violence is also now being censored. This means that Haitians can now be punished for recording evidence of crimes committed against them. This is being framed like it will impact the public promotion of gang violence, as many post about their crimes online, but many Haitians are doubtful that it will be anything other than censorship.

Great Charities that Support Haiti

9 Best Charities Impacting Haiti (Complete 2025 List)

Haiti has a population of 11.5 million people and 52.3% live at or below the poverty line ($3.20 USD). This makes it the poorest country in

Fonkoze is stated to be a charity made by Haitians for Haitians. You can check out their website for further details. Haitian-run organizations would be best but any charity with a long history of doing work in Haiti works as well. Just do your research! And please avoid the really big names like The American Red Cross, I believe Oxfam is another one to pass on. The ARC rates well enough in Charity Navigator and Charity Watch; however, Haitians - and journalism investigations - have stated how ineffective it was. Perhaps things are better now but better to be safe.
