Incredibly sad. Moise needs to go. Another year of his "rule" and they may not survive as a country.
Most want out anyway they can. There is nothing they can do to save the country with Moise there now. He is way too polarizing.

The situation has been going on for a long time.
Any new government will also not offer improvements, going on historical data and international aid money given.
For Haitians the day to day living conditions are horrendous, without any hope on the horizon.
This also presents a grave situation for the DR, with illegal ingress of Haitian refugees and further spread of covid.
The day for controlling the influx of Haitians in a effective fashion has long passed...And the demand of the President for just one more year is common thru out the history of the world......
An update from okap. Manifestations in the street. One 27 y/o guy killed. Reportedly worse in PAP. People I talk to are staying home.
And the DR government choses this time to do immigration raids and pick up illegals to send back to Haiti. They picked up three bus loads this morning in Jarabacoa , and that was just in my sector of town. Still plenty left though. Lots of Dominicans hide them.
I am guessing they will be back.
-- Both the deported Haitians and the buses. Like boomerangs and the person that throws them.
As for Haiti, it does not matter significantly who is in charge there.
Not to mention those boomerang people, have a lot of boomerang children...what happens to them?
In my experience, they’re left behind with family and friends in DR, until the parent/parents can get back.
The last time this happened our building contractor had one of his workers phone him from the border asking him to send him 2000 pesos. He was back three days later.
