Would you not think that at this time in Haiti. that a military state could be possible? Someone higher up in the ranks must be able to see there is an empty seat?
There’s no military so to speak in Haiti. Just some rag tag group with a few surplus weapons.
Gangs are better armed than them.
I don’t see any positive turns on Haiti’s current condition. It will only get worst. Chaos makes money for gangs. Terrorized people will pay whatever they are asked for, in exchange for safety from attacks.
In all these decades, the governments haven’t even been able to produce a real jail there, let alone improve the situation elsewhere in the country.
Outside of Port-au-Prince there’s no even a semblance of a government in control.
The only thing they semi-control is the capital’s few blocks, ports and border crossing check points. Outside of those, it’s a free-for-all, strongest rules.
A strongman? Could be! Hardly from gov or military anymore. It was decimated under the last US intervention. A gangster strongman? It’s plausible under the perfect condition.
That’s to say, he needs to have a big enough gang to support him and back him up.
Anybody they could still had kidnapped for a cash cow, has left Haiti or moved to some other location far from the gangs’ control areas.
Haiti is an enigma to itself. A paradise to the haves, a hell on earth to have nots.
The answer to that is to make it a hell for all equally. When you push hard enough, something gives.
1804 was yesterday in Haiti.
1844 put the last nail on the coffin ⚰️ soon after. The money tap got shut off and Haiti started to eat itself inside out.
Just think of this: Duvalier left Haiti with millions and bankrupted the future of the country.
The DR got banks cleaned out of billions and still recovered soon after.
Haiti is currently imploding in our very 👀 eyes.
It will devolve faster in a few years, than all the time it took for it to reach today’s level.
