So glad to hear the both of them were released. It will be interesting to see if she stays. My $11.45 sez she stays with her hubbie there, unless hubbie has a visa.
Dorsainvil… Isn’t that one of the well known last names of Haiti or maybe I’m confusing that for another last name?They have been released. Thread reopened, please stay on topic.
American woman, child freed after being kidnapped in Haiti last month
Alix Dorsainvil was kidnapped from the ministry where she worked.
I have met several people from different parts of the USA who are descendants of certain families that were known during the time when Haiti was Saint-Domingue.
The weirdest was once meeting a guy from near New Orleans that was clueless that his family had ties to Haiti. The hint was when he mentioned that an ancestor was born in the Convento de Santa Clara after the parents ran away from Haiti during the revolution. He didn’t even know that the Convento de Santa Clara still exist in SD.
Another time I met a Haitian woman (a real Haitian, not descendants of people that left centuries ago) and while I never said anything, it was interesting hearing her say one day that her name was Vanessa Blanchard. I never asked her from what part of Haiti she was from, but I had my reasons since I had heard of a white Blanchard from the DR and here is a black Blanchard. She was (or is is more correctly) above average in looks, very attractive.
US nurse freed from Haiti says Christian song was her battle cry after kidnapping

there are some people, that would just be ok....if this whole island becomes one country........................
Interesting that she hasn't said a word about how she was treated.
It would be an even bigger failure than the first time it happened, so you'd end up with the same problem on your shores, twice the size. You have any doubts? Just look what the French abolitionist Victor Schoelcher had to say about the experiment. Trust me, it wasn't nice at all.
Always been of the opinion that Uncle Sam will have to leave a permanent military occupation force on the island to contain the problem in situ (if it's coupled with a naval blockade it will be even better). Otherwise, the problem will just keep island hopping and metastasizing throughout the continent.
I agree with your point about the potential for the Haitian problems to expand beyond their borders. There are currently three festering problems in the Caribbean close to the US, Haiti, Cuba, and Venezuela. Haiti being the biggest problem for the DR because it‘s part of the same land mass. For the US to send in a long term occupation force to Haiti, there would have to be a very serious reason. Infiltration of terrorist cells into Haiti with the potential to threaten US security, a big movement of drugs from Haiti to the U.S, large numbers of Haitian refugees attempting to enter the US illegally are just a few possibility’s.
I can’t see the US doing a solo intervention. The current US administration has avoided doing that so far and, if re-elected, I don’t expect US foreign policy to change. A Republican administration, I guessing, would be even less interested in putting US military boots on the ground in Haiti.
The best anyone could hope for would be a UN multinational force. If the Kenyans get the UN go ahead, they will be UN Guinea pigs. If they actually survive and bring some semblance of order to Haiti, the UN might supplement them with other military forces willing to step forward.
Its not Racisst to say it . I think someone already did .
Haitians believe all WHITES are RICH .. .Period .
In the beginning the kidnappers literally asked for a " million dollars"..
as if her people/ Family are walking around with that kind of money in their pockets .
It's not just whites, they feel the same way about American blacks. They probably would feel the same about American Asians or Hispanics if they ever met any.
Maybe these Criminals are of the mindset that anyone who does not need to WORK for a Living, and is doing Charity work of any kind, must be Rich to give of their time so Freely..
Haiti is such a Sad sad place .
No, that's not it. It's more than the gangs, it's a Haitian mindset that is exacerbated by Americans actions of throwing money around.
