El principal experto de la ONU en derechos humanos en Haití advirtió que las condiciones humanitarias en el país caribeño se están deteriorando rápidamente y podrían llegar a ser “como Somalia en sus peores tiempos”, en medio de la escalada de violencia de las pandillas y de la inestabilidad política.
“Francamente, a estas alturas me estoy quedando sin palabras”, afirmó recientemente el observador de derechos humanos William O’Neill ante el organismo. “Es apocalíptico, es como el fin de los tiempos”, continuó. “Hay un nivel de intensidad y crueldad en la violencia que simplemente no tiene precedentes en mi experiencia en Haití”, señaló.
“Conozco a alguien que perdió a la mitad de su familia a manos de los escuadrones de ejecución del dictador François Duvalier y dijo que nunca lo había visto tan mal. Tíos, primos, hermanos asesinados y ella dijo que nunca había estado tan mal”, relató.
El experto estadounidense trabajó anteriormente en crisis humanitarias en países como Ruanda, Sierra Leona, Bosnia- Herzegovina y Nepal. “Aquí creo que la diferencia es que el Estado está prácticamente ausente”, afirmó. “No hay Estado y es casi como un mundo hobbesiano donde realmente sobreviven los más aptos […] y desafortunadamente los más aptos en este momento son las pandillas”, expresó.
En ese contexto, miles de personas han huido de la capital, Puerto Príncipe, controlada en un 90% por las bandas criminales. Sin embargo, O’Neill teme que la violencia pronto afecte al resto del país, provocando un éxodo masivo de haitianos a la vecina República Dominicana o a EE.UU. “Si todo se vuelve un infierno y se extiende desde Puerto Príncipe hacia el campo, mucha gente se subirá a barcas”, vaticinó.
Por otra parte, criticó a Washington por no tomar medidas enérgicas contra el contrabando de armas estadounidenses desde Florida a puertos haitianos. “Me sorprende que no se puedan llevar alimentos o medicinas a Haití, pero aun así llegan armas y balas”, manifestó.
“No puedo creer que mi Gobierno no pueda inspeccionar esos barcos que parten del río Miami y sacar todos los rifles y balas, porque Haití no produce armas ni balas”, aseveró O’Neill. “Si las pandillas no tienen sus armas ni sus balas, pierden todo su poder”, concluyó.
Haití está sumida en una crisis de gobernabilidad que ha venido escalando desde el magnicidio del presidente Jovenel Moïse en julio de 2021. El país declaró el estado de emergencia el 3 de marzo, después de que el peligroso líder criminal Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Cherizier llamase a los grupos criminales a unirse y derrocar al primer ministro Ariel Henry, quien anunció días después su dimisión.
Haiti is richer than Dominican Republic in resources but outside countries has been taking from Haiti way back with Napoleon and the Haitian revolution won then so its a long history of war there for freedom.
lots of money have been given to Haiti over the years they just don’t seem to know how to govern themself, they don’t want outside help, but if you take outside money the govt. who gave money will want a say it’s either they don’t take tax payers money and develop there agriculture tourism but if they insist the USA, help be prepare for them to meddle Haitian cannot have it both ways. lots of money have been given to them by American and Europe and they just self-destruct it almost hopeless for them.
Dominican Republic people are trapped on the same island with Haiti. Pray for Dominican Republic (DR) to survive as a nation. Now Haitian because they do not receive Dominican citizenship and housing after crossing illegally into DR are claiming in front of camera to be treated as dog. The UN forcing DR hand by pressuring for DR open the border and allow anyone to cross illegally. As the moment they are over 4 millions Haitian in DR and 40% of all births in DR are of Haitian women. DR is spending $40,000 millions pesos into Haitian national. We are borrowing from the IMF to finance our part of the Haitian problem.
This goes back to the Haitian Revolution and the centuries of France forcing Haiti (supported by the world bank for decades) to pay for a war France lost to people fighting for the freedom from slavery. The include being kept out of the world economy and foreign governments putting despot leaders in place and let’s not forget Trujillo! Always retelling history
Look at the old, the children, and everyone. It’s sad. Politicians, look what you have done. God is not sleeping. You will get what you deserve. It breaks my heart. If you loved your country, you would want to see it grow.
Haiti has had a difficult past, but at a certain point you cant blame that anymore. Other previously colonized countries have advanced, while Haiti never seems to be able to get it together.
Everybody must read “Introduction To Haiti, 1950s”. If you’re wondering why Haiti is like this now, you should read about it’s history, including how it was forced to pay France, (then later the US) billions of dollars for rebelling and winning their freedom from slavery in 1804. This gigantic insane debt crippled the Haitian economy from the start, and they finished the payments in 1947. These payments included interest and enriched American companies and economy such as citibank. Imagine making your slaves pay for escaping slavery. Then when they work their way out of the debt, you come back and keep trying to control them. You should then ask yourself why does the US and other European nations have a ‘stake’ in Haiti? Why when Haitians elect their leaders, somehow the democratically elected and well loved leaders end up assassinated by weapons supplied by the US government. These people are now trying to remove PUPPETS. Haiti was the first and only black country to fully rebel against Europeans and WIN. I’m sure they will be able to finally kick out the Europeans and regain their status. Proper leaders will emerge!

Commentprogressive non-corrupt government is all Haiti needs.
This situation is like taking 10,000 steps backward, and so the people of Haiti would further in an oppressed state.
The seeds of mercy and unity is being planted in all corners of the world.
Haiti is richer than Dominican Republic in resources but outside countries has been taking from Haiti way back with Napoleon and the Haitian revolution won then so its a long history of war there for freedom.
They are freedom fighters tired of political corruption.
lots of money have been given to Haiti over the years they just don’t seem to know how to govern themself, they don’t want outside help, but if you take outside money the govt. who gave money will want a say it’s either they don’t take tax payers money and develop there agriculture tourism but if they insist the USA, help be prepare for them to meddle Haitian cannot have it both ways. lots of money have been given to them by American and Europe and they just self-destruct it almost hopeless for them.

I visited haiti a few years ago, . It was a crappy country THEN and is STILL a crappy country NOW. THIS is a civil war.
Pobre gente y porbres los chicos.
These folks don’t and never have had a chance, same as in Africa.

Now, I agreed, They have no chance

What a Sad situation of this country it breaks my heart
I just don’t understand why innocent civilians that have nothing to do with your politics have to die.
Praying for the people of Haiti.

I have worked in south Florida with many Haitians and made some great friends. I’m so sorry for their families there.
