Haiti, a failed state and without human rights

On some occasions I look back to countries with such a black future, that they do not seem or exist. Among these, at the end of this 2024 is Haiti, although Libya or Lebanon, Yemen, Chad, and others. However, it is curious how being one of the richest countries in the world in the 18th century, when it generated 40% of France’s foreign trade and doubled the product of all English colonies together, has become just more than 200 years (XXI) in the poorest country in Latin America and one of the poorest countries in the world, where the life of its inhabitants is absolutely worthless.

I remember my first visit to that country at the dawn of the last century, in search of routilants stories related to voodoo and black magic. However, I found a country, already ravaged by misery and hurricanes, with a small per capita income, without industrial or agricultural resources and with the sensation, by their people, that they had stolen the present and the future.

Haiti is easy to forget. No one is interested in a amortized country, and whose inhabitants lack any minimum service.

Why have I looked back this year there?

Maybe because one morning, while having breakfast in one of those European countries that I frequently visited, I found a news where it was claimed that around 3,650 people They had been killed in Haiti in what was going for a year, these deaths had caused a massive exodus of inhabitants and a famine throughout the country. My sources confessed to me that the deceased’s number would surely be double, and that only UN Buenism would be putting on the data.

Moreover, last November, in just one week, around 11, they would have been killed in Puerto Príncipe, the capital, more than 150 people, forcing a massive displacement of more than 20,000 people.

Volker Türk, current United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, affirmed following the above that the worst was yet to come, because practically more than four million people who live in the capital, are retained by the bands and mafias who control the accesses and exits of the capital. On these data, a UN report affirms some chilling data: …he 55% of deaths They occurred during confrontations between gang members and police. Even more worrying is the increase in collective lynchings. Recently, the authorities reported that 28 gang members were killed In a joint operation between security forces and civil self -defense groups, repeating episodes of the previous year when residents of Port -au -Prince came to lynching people accused of belonging to criminal gangs. (1)

Haiti lives submerged in a permanent civil war, especially since he does not receive effective help that eradicates once and for all, the control of the mafias and bands, thus ending with the permanent corruption of the leaders who as they occupy the power try to enrich themselves and then leave or be overthrown.

Two paragraphs of the summary of a report included on the United Nations news page warns us, without deepening this, other atrocities committed in the conflict that has added to this country for decades: …The report, which covers the period until June, details serious patterns of violations and abuses of Human Rights In the capital, Puerto Príncipe, and in the department of Artibonite, as well as in the southern part of the western department, which until recently had not been affected by violence.
The number of victims of sexual violence, including rape, also increased in the first half of the year. “Gangs have continued to use sexual violence to punish, spread fear and subjugate populations,” says the document.
During the months contemplated by the report, At least 860 people died and 393 were injured during police operations and patrols in Port -au -Prince, including at least 36 children, in which it could constitute unnecessary and disproportionate use of force.

For their part, gangs have recruited to a large number of children In their ranks.
According to the study, the violence of the bands, which was originally limited to the capital, It has extended to the north of the countrydriven by the flight of the residents of the areas of the South, where the criminal activities of the gangs had been generalized.
That exodus limited the opportunities that the bands of generating illicit income had through kidnappings, extortion and robberies. (2)

Soldier children, mass violations and group as a subjugation and fear tool, and a use of force that does not respect any international treatythey are daily exchange currency in the life of this town, without anyone, I repeat, nobody, doing anything to change an apex what happens.

Report after report, the infamous United Nations officials create doses with data on that country, remembering that in this 2024, things are not better than in the past 2023, where they were not better than in previous years. They comment on the permanent need to create commissions that analyze the progressive deterioration suffered by the civilian population and it is ruled that actions that nobody performs would be necessary.

A country where, as happened, in other conflicts, it will end with the hungry civilian population devouring even its own dead. Does anyone interest someone?

The generalist media, those who can pressure, those who are breastfed with the taxpayer’s money by “democratic” states see in these places, such as Haiti, a discomfort. If they had oil, soccer stars of a certain renown, atomic bombs, they were rich in cereals, luxury hotels, foreign investments at risk, perhaps to some American senator, or European would regret the awarenessBut what do the United States or Europe win, helping these beings who only know how to be a discomfort? Russia, without a doubt, is not going to do it, it has enough with the nearby Cuba, the other Latin American countries quite have with what they have, the Chinese this story does not even come to them, then who is interested in the death already of about 6,000 people killed more so many dead due to lack of resources, without talking about the mental health of their inhabitants, or the 20/30 agenda that seems to worry so many in others.

In short, Haiti always seems to want to give us a bad day. A Latin American country, which I repeat, seems not to matter to anyone.
