#Haiti #PrimeMinister #ArielHenry
Maybe we can send Harris there to address the route cause
Psaki will say tomorrow this is why Haitians are coming here
Oh Good Lord Not Again!
We all Haiti to see this stuff happen again
Ayyyy
Again what wrong with that country 😕?😏😱😱
🍌 rebublic, ran by🐵
@Nick Escalante yeah but who runs America and look at the shape of this country.
@a reasonable thought then be part of the solution— GO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN BE A WHINNY SNOWFLAKE
@Nick Escalante snowflake? That’s deep conservative terminology, isn’t it?😂
Rich Haitians screwing over their own people to keep their fortune by any means necessary
Poor country. NOTHING going for it. Its first population was exterminated, the follow n were slaves, Earthquake after tropical storm after coup and on, and , on… All that after a family like the Duvalliers
Kind of like a North American proximate version of Liberia in Africa. And at 11 million in a place the size of Massachusetts, they need a LOT more than they can manage to export or the jobs they can sustain… Even with outside humanitarian help for emergency supplies, they’ll stay like that, without the rebuilding and training effort that they also need help with.
I mean it’s a place REALLY close to us. It’s in ALL of our best interest to invest a BIT of money to keep it from becoming a REAL problem. They already started kidnapping people and didn’t get killed by Special Forces, so they MUST be emboldened. I wouldn’t want them to turn into little terrorists. Who knows, it might even turn into a good partnership if we make it work.
Man haiti 🇭🇹 its just sad to see that
Haiti is a vassal of America,nothing happens there without America’s consent.
@david Milton I grew up with a lot of Haitian people in Florida and this is sad to see, my friends says its still not fix since the earthquake
We will never know what actually happened, because our only sources for the news are disturbingly biased. This video serves a media narrative, otherwise they wouldnt tell us about it.
This man security need they dont wtf to do smh
At least they aren’t controlled by France. Now THAT would be terrible.
@Nick Escalante they are pasty like the people who occupy France.
@a reasonable thought pasty people occupying France?
Umm, took me a moment, isn’t that kinda racism?
@Nick Escalante are you thin skinned? Calling everything racism? That term is over used, isn’t it? I’m tired of everything getting called wasist. Sounds familiar?
@a reasonable thought did NOT call anyone or thing racism or racist
It’s only going to get worse
Very sad. Seems they weren’t very protected. Must have considered this might happen.
Not sad he killed the elected president
… sadly it’s GOP vision of Politics in US
WOW REALLY THOSE VEHICALS WERE NOT GOING TO PROTECT THEM, THEY NEED TO INVEST IN BULLET PROOF VEHICALS!
This is so sad. But why was the soldiers just standing around not protecting or engaging? Did you’ll notice that?😕
No return fire, bodyguards stood there for a few seconds too.
Well they did have a lot of civilians in the crossfire too
Camera man didn’t even jump when the shots started popping off
That didn’t look real
Extremely interesting and informative
Would not be a surprise to find US behind this, again.
@a reasonable thought long time tax payer– wow for a conservative, who passed judgement, you lack the intelligence for tax deferred shelters. You financially back the system your opposed to– not that bright, & you have no actual Service do you. Just the fustration of the underachiever
@a reasonable thought gladly– I imagine my AMERICA with a merit based system of accrued points for Service , both Military, & philanthropic– two categories you lack
@Nick Escalante well if you live in this country and your job let’s you off for veterans day just thank me.
@Nick Escalante your assumptions of me would be totally off by my calculations. Yes I donate money to worthy causes too.
@a reasonable thought I’m living in the USA, born & raised as both sides of my lineage , some of wich is dated to the 1600’s. I work on VETERANS day, because thankfully made it home alive, lots of broken bones, & points of entry, but alive
This is not the place anybody wants to be headed to for a vacation. 📡👽🇺🇸 RUN!!!
You are wrong 🤨🧐
If ever there was a reboot button in this world, I think Haiti needs to be on top of that list.
Haiti needs America to gets it’s foot off of it’s neck.
Study history.
@david Milton you mean the Hillary theft foundation?
@interloop only the ignorant blame Hillary for everything. You probably blame biden for Europe’s problems too
@david Milton America is Haitis largest trading partner
Study Economics
Even Cuba who is under US embargo is far more decent than Haiti
@Isprikitik burkabush
America is Haiti’s oppressor. Study history.
Haiti’s President was assassinated and supposedly 500,000 Vaccines arrive on the island within days. Haitian PM survives his assassination attempt. Why are Columbians, Panamanians and Haitian-Americans trying to end Haitian Officials? Maybe its a question most would not want the answer to.
You hear a lot of gun shots but you don’t see anybody getting shot. 🤔 Look at the soldier just standing there. Nobody hit the ground. Fake
Hitting the ground is useless. Finding cover is what you need.
HomeGirl heard the bullets and bounced back in that building 😂 (as you would)
Bandits and terrorist? Yeah right. Looks like our CIA is having trouble with their 3rd world, sub contracted assassins. Has everyone already forgot about the last presidential assassination committed by am American MIC group / CIA? They only use one American and four foreigners to complete the
the job, which works best for deniability & deflection. Won’t be any informative follow up stories on this event either.
Lol
America ?
Normal isn’t coming back- Jesus Is!!!
Call on Him today- while you still can.🙏
“I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the father but through Me.”-Jesus
What must you do to be saved?
A-acknowledge you’re a sinner in need of a savior. (Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23)
B-believe the gospel-trust in Jesus and Him alone. Christ died for our sins, according to scriptures. He was buried, and He rose again the 3rd day, according to scriptures. (John 3:3, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, John 3:16-18, John 14:6)
C- call on Him, Jesus to save you. (Romans 10:9-10, Romans 10:13, Ephesians 2:8-9)
Very poor vip protection training.
😒😒😳🙄😒😒
Thank the French for all this suffering.
No.
Excuse, me this was a set up, why not ran just back into the church and go hunt down the shooters, this is all more BS. You, don’t ran around with bullet’s flying all over the place.
Shout out to George Floyd on 590 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!
Why?!
🤣😆😂👍
Well chauvin is now on suicide watch. Let’s see if he makes it through another 👉21 years 👈.
So sad and pathetic how much time of your life that you waste on hating a dead man. 😂🤣
Your mom Dittzx33
I loved How Defence Personal in Military Outfit Were Very calm
One Took Position And another one was Locating Threat.
Loll
Wouldn’t the ultimate threat these days be suicide drones?
Something real questionable about this….all those bullets and only one death…still not confirmed???
Why are they trying to destroy Haiti?
Cartel involvement, without a doubt.
Almost doesn’t count . I don’t know why they were protecting him but couldn’t protected Jovenel . And they know who were shooting at them .
just make them the 51st state give them butt loads of my tax dollars and let them live the island life on your taxes. black pepole should not have to lift a finger in todays age
Well didn’t white Americans live off the backs of black people since 1588? All of you did. Sure you did…
Just terrible. Such savagery
Haiti is a failed state…period. and the west love to see it that way. World leaders watch presidents in poor countries loot their little resources and impoverish the people leading to crime surge and lawlessness. There is always a correlation between poverty and violent crimes.
Every since Haiti FOUGHT AND WON THEIR INDEPENDENCE from European colonization the powers that be have tried their best to keep Haiti disabled and poverty stricken. All the leaders have been puppets of European powers it’s really sad
Horrible security detail.
A circle of protection! FORMATION!!!
God, please for the sake of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, bring Your justice and peace with healing and hope into 2022
But I want more death and destruction
Definitely OFF the vacation list!!
Maybe the rest of the Colombians that killed the president.that got away last time .😏🤭🤫🤥
I would like to see 1915 again Haiti was different, we really need help I love my race not my leaders
Ministe he’s a criminal he kil jovenel
Ministe criminal period
This is what happens when we let toddlers run their own country.
Coming to any-town USA.
Interesting to see some of those soldiers were just standing there while a female personnel was shielding him. Interesting.
Some of them didn’t even react to the sound of gun fire at all.
@Mr Mkhosana exactly.. Omg
know why they didnt react to it. because they in on it and know it was coming
CIA on the hunt once again
Haiti. Enough said.
What a shame.
This is a film this guy playing how come the gunshots going out away from the prime minister by the police officers no gunshots shooting directly to them
Didn’t really seem like the “team” was well prepared. Looks like a lot of them froze.
No one even talks about how he was in communication with the #1 suspect who made the call to carry out the murder of the president soon after the president was murdered. And when they started investigating him. He fires the judge and prosecutor.
Looks like it was staged
That security lady needs the Purple Heart . She’s fiercer than all of them
bs staged
So many security personnel n only one person shot..y’all need some serious intelligence there.. I also live in the Caribbean n I can say more needs to be done..these assassinations of leaders are orders from BIGGER POWERS. Some officers just standing there n doing nothing.. That says alot
Haiti turn to God and repent, repent, repent and confess your sins so that God can keep you safe, God has turn His face away because of your sins, God loves you but hate your sins and wickedness
Bunch of lies, American media fake news
Am I crazy or should they have just guided him back inside??
This is sad 😢
What shocking about in gonaïve we don’t honor killer and gang as hero Henry I a murdered because we don’t have a government that why it still in power a murdered like Henry shouldn’t go in gonaïve because this place is only for our heros and the president of the country this man is nothing to us in 🇭🇹 🇭🇹 🇭🇹 🇭🇹.
This is worse than a movie. Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse🤦🏾♀️
Interesting that the bullets we hear are only coming from the one security guy! Someone is a bad aim! Did the guard hit innocent bystanders and they are the ones wounded! Don’tgive us half story – give us facts!
No one is surprised, Haiti is a total mess.
Monarchy Z.
*they’re not even surprise no more just look how casually they escape.*
Wow. This is so sad. So heart breaking. Come Lord Jesus. Come. Help your children to endure until the end. To everyone reading this, Jesus loves you!
Earthquakes assassination something is very suspicious that’s in play🤨!!!!!
That would be a great gift for the country , he s one of a prime suspect in the assassination of president Jovenel Moise back in July 7th
