In Haiti, hundreds of supporters of the former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide have gathered in the capital to demand his return.
They are angry about political instability and a worsening crime rate.

#Haiti #HaitiProtests #JeanBertrandAristide
I love this channel ❣️❣️❣️
This is what the democratic party loves.
Detroit!!!!
Democracy?…self determination? How can you be against a popular mandate? Boot is not a flavor…
It’s amazing how many people think one person can solve all the problems in the country
@M B 2.0
In other words, cult of personality. Also see Yugoslavia after Tito died.
This is even funnier when that person is the initiator of the problems
@The Red Rant Absolutely! Its shallow & condescending thinking that reveals ignorance about Haiti & the fleeting semblance of stability & hope that Aristide represented before his ouster in a US engineered coup in 2004. Haiti has been a spiralling disaster since.
@K201 Mail that paragraph let everyone know that you know nothing about Haiti and it’s current situation
Long live Haiti stay strong my country you will soon be free from the hands of imperialism and Puppet leaders supported by the US

Jean Betrand Aristide was a great leader of Haiti.
@Aquaman_ 7_C Baby Doc stole millions from Haiti. His wife had a freezer just for her fur coats. Aristide didn’t use the macoutes on Haitians, that was Baby Doc.
Everyone remembers how the Clintons kept all the millions after Haiti got wiped out yrs ago
The United States call it “Liberation” instead of “Invasion”. That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on… Why the double standard? Confused… Please enlighten. Genuine question…

Your bot has malfunctioned unless you are referring to ancient history.
@Kyle Smith Bots aren’t to blame.
You forgot when the United States invaded Haiti in 1915
Haiti needs a revolution.
Rise up and drive those traitors and crooks into the ground.
Can you help?
yeah we know
I remember the day Bush sent column Powell to force President artistic
Haiti is a completely disaster country been like this forever
The Bush administration forced President Aristide on that plane, against his will, to leave Haiti
@Hate Dims the same f
Like all US installed government, it will end up being destroyed. In the 20s, US sponsored coup led to the topple of Aristide government who was legally and democratically elected. In Ukraine too, the last legally and democratically government was topple by US led coup. Yet again history is being repeated in Ukraine and Haiti. Never misjudge its indigenous people will. They are the only one that can dictate whom they want and not the US.
That is not unrest, that’s their way of living life.
The Haitians should look to fix the system they have Aristide cannot do it by himself and one man is not gonna be a saviour
@Cameron Moore been told that about this too there are elites that directlh or indirectly benefit from the poverty in the country but it is still sad that haitians can’t seem to come to grips, and stop this saviour complex they have
Agree people need to stop relying mostly politicians to save a community. Its takes group of people for a change
Does anyone in Haiti work for a living?
Outside the capital? Yes. Life is some what normal. There’s agriculture and a few factories.
People just survive and other have families outside the country who supports them.
Working is not the problem. Even if you work, you’d expect to get paid so you can afford basic necessities right? Now imagine despite your job you still can’t afford those things…or your job depends on other people being your customers because that’s who pays you, but because they are having financial problems, they can’t afford to be your customers and you just have fewer and fewer customers which kills your income.
See that the thing .western media only show port au prince to portray haiti as poverty stricken and people suffering but outside the city areas life is simple and peaceful since most Haitian families own homes , land and able to grow their own food and resources without having work a job.but those living in port au prince don’t got that luxury since it lack of farmland. Im Haitian btw
@John lamb never respond to dumb as questions. like if any country can operate without goods and services
When people say “things could be worse”, this is what they mean.
You guys need to stop this nonsense, Haiti is not one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere, rather one of the most impoverished countries in the western hemisphere. Haiti has plenty of natural resources, which in fact makes it one of the richest countries in the western hemisphere.
@Valkorion the ᛞᚱᚨᚷᛟᚾ of Zakuul the infrastructure was limited and was for America commercial interest only. did you read the time article on how the US and France plundered Haiti. please read it .
@Desmond Burnett i did. I also read about the British chap who went to Haiti before the American intervention. Suffice to say, it aint the fault of Americans
@Valkorion the ᛞᚱᚨᚷᛟᚾ of Zakuul We all have to move on at some point man. The world is a unfair place. Geopolitics is unfair and every nation states’ mantra is “every man for themselves”. The most imperialistic nations are the wealthiest ones. At one point, China was occupied by every major imperialist nation (US, France, UK, etc) and 2(!) wars were fought against it just so corrupting drugs could continue to be imported into the nation. Yet, somehow China has a GDPpc that is high income and is roughly just 1-2 decades from developed market status. We can continue to complain about our stolen goods, or we can rebuild so our children will inhabit a nation they can be proud of.
@TrendyMadness China suffered though wars and communism, yet it still managed to survive and thrive..
Haiti is the absolute poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. And among the top 20 poorest countries in the world.
But no human resources to do anything with it.
Pretty sure no one in their right mind would want to be that country president. Don’t expect problems to just go away by changing to another president. Rising cost of fuel, food and energy prices are here to stay.
@TrendyMadness it’s not a bad choice Aristide will ask all the countries who stole money, gold, and natural resources from Haiti 🇭🇹 to give them back that’s why the other countries who have control over Haiti 🇭🇹 keep trying to take him out of president.
@Akhenaton 1981
LOL. Haiti barely has any natural resources.
There are a lot of people dying in haiti right now y’all didn’t report nothing of it, just two days ago people of haiti protesting of aristide return y’all already have a story wow. I wonder how much they pay you guys.
Haiti and all other countries in the region could greatly benefit from being part of a Latin American/Caribbean supply chain for North American industry.
Yeah, the Dominican Republic, Panama and Costa Rica have greatly benefited from manufacturing products bound for America. Doing this helps countries get richer and develop a stable, stronger middle class. Unfortunately, in Haiti’s case a lot of work has to be done before they even get to that point. The state (government) barely exists and state capacity is nonexistent, with gangs festering around everywhere. This isn’t a conductive environment to open factories in.
@TrendyMadness Dominican Republic benefited from Haitian cheap labour it’s not the same for Panama and Costa Rica.
Haiti we will rise again once devil let us be free completely
the only real way to save Haiti is to completely abolish Haiti as an independent republic & have the Dominican Republic annex the region,the whole of Hispaniola island, and redducate haitians to forget about speaking spanish. Haiti is a country is a failed state
A very small section in a southern city was paid to protest to demand his return almost 90% would be against his return, by the way He is almost 80 years old. Get it right Al Jazeera. Most protest in Haiti pro/con are manipulated, they are paid to protest.
He was also president in 2004 when the U.S. orchestrated another coup against him.
Lol
What percentage of these people are Africans?
@Sonny Martinez it’s not true most do have admixture and remember they have neighbors ..
@Julio Holder
It is true. Haiti is the blackest, unmixed country outside of Africa. Jamaica is the next blackest.
95%.
@Shaun Cameron there’s other very black countries in the region
@Shaun Cameron Haitians of varying colors, features and different hair types are common everywhere.
Haiti itself, people and government, is the problem. These people are psychotic making such unrealistic demand.
The paid-protesting is a billion dollar industry in Haiti. People are desperate and poor. For $20 to eat for the day, they’ll protest any stupid issue you want.
Every country people has to teach our generation how to love each other be kind and be good people and show our kids how to be nice to each other teaching love and how keep our customs traditions to next making sure they know how to keep countries stores and restaurants government programs for the people we have to teach the next generations how to love and be kind solving our problems with our mind not with guns
No. That’s just setting a country up to get invaded.
Go go go
Let him return, what’s the harm?
I thijk this reporter should do her homework before reporting, the coup created by us and all these problems created by the USA.. don’t be afraid do your job, a little research will help
Your forget to mention Aristide took two coup, and Ariel had participated in killing the last president, lady does Your research before reporting, your not helping with these nonsense types of reporting
This is a lie. Do not believe this report we do not want that devil back into office he is the cause of everything that’s going on right now.
We should do this in South Africa. Only Zuma can save the country
you guys in South Africa are not to bad sometime you have to work with what you got i like to visit Capetown one day keep up the good work no matter what corruption always be there keep that in mind is best to try to work with those in power.
That translation is trash 🗑
Popular revolution only solution
Nah! We don’t want this killer back anywhere near government especially after he and his archenemy America have planned his come back. This is all part of the US and UN plan. They’ve all met with him and since then he’s been financing those demonstrations.
Haiti needs Jesus only the lord him self can fix any problems in Haiti Haiti needs JESUS HAITI NEEDS TO REPENT❗❗❗
Repent to what ? To white people
bella not accurate sis Hayti was forced to love Jesus that is why we are suffering today. go to Hayti you’ll find there is more churches than schools. In addition, it is because of Hayti you can share your opinion. We beat the French Spain, and USA that is why we are always a target. Knowledge Dissipate Ignorance
@THESTS CONSULTING
You only beat the French.
@Shaun Cameron no they beat the British and Spanish
Black people like religion, however in every corner of the world they suffering due to that nonsense
I love Aristide however him alone cannot change the country 1st he has to deal with Haitian Oligarchs, corrupt politicians, the Dominicans, USA, Canada & France, this is why sometimes I think my people have low IQ they don’t think, furthermore pres. Moïse was a good president he wanted to get rid of the Oligarchs, end corruption, break away from America, build a border wall with D.R., open business relationship with Russia, China, Iran and Turkey that’s the reason they had him killed
As an Haitian, these people were paid to take the streets. The west using your channel to make this news worthy. You are contributing to their crimes against the Haitian people. We don’t need Aristide, he is a fraud and a house slave for U.S, France and Canada. Those 3 countries never help any (black) nations or any countries who don’t gable their lies and beliefs, but themselves. I can’t blame them because they are looking for their own interest as it has always been. After all, they are Romans. They built these western countries on lies and deceitfulness and genocide (black, Indian, indigenous). I call for this overdue revolution where true Haitians, NOT house slaves or corrupt oligarchs with slave mentality, to march with manchettes and other form of weapons we can put our hands on, to overthrow this so call government who assassinated Haiti last true president. Pou voye nan peyi san chapo all personals and oligarchs who help these countries drag Haiti in the pit, . REVOLUTION! REVOLUTION!REVOLUTION!!!!.
Do you really believe that?
The US only uses puppets and uneducated people to do their nasty jobs.
I see so many stupid people blaming the USA for Haiti’s problems, as long as you blame others for your wrongdoings you’ll never solve your problems. Haiti is paying a debt to humanity for killing people just for being whites. Getting rid of slavery was a good thing but getting rid (killing) the whites was a capital sin, not only because it was morally wrong but because they killed those who could help build the country. It will take a very long time of cleaning their hearts in order to solve Haiti’s problems. It’s a pity because there are some good Haitians. I’ve seen them working hard to get ahead when they find better environments. Instead of blaming USA for Haitians’ stupidity, you should be thankful for USA accepting so many of your countrymen.
Haitian must have a Second Revolution , Very Brutal To clean up and solve the probleme. . Get rid of the , Corrupt Oligarch , Theft , Mafia , Gang and the Politician . Also Those Country , Must Stay out of Haiti Business , USA , France , Canada , Spain . Haitian must decide , not Foreigner .
HAITI NEED TO KICK AMERICA OUT OF THE COUNTRY HAITI IS NOT A COUNTRY FOR DEMOCRACY PERIOD

Sad” yet true what’s become of the dreamers
people, read the times article how France extorted $21 billion from Haiti. and when aristide demanded the money from France, he was removed from office by both France and the US.
They are many countries in west Indian than Haiti is more rich that
Such as? Every country in the Caribbean is richer than Haiti. Even Cuba.
@Shaun Cameron Haiti are more people than all the countries in caraibes,,, they are countries Caribbean port au prince are more people ,
Haiti political crisis. Cameras go to one area for the past 35 years, downtown Port au prince and you call it Haiti. When there 98 percent of the other side of the country. I think American and France and Australia should be worried about the political climate. 🤔 Haiti is not raping any body for minerals dimonds oil or anything for that matter. Focus on what’s about to happen in your back yard. 💯
Ayiti needs Papa Doc…period. All the b.s. would stop.
Something is wrong with us man
I swear my people is brain washed 😩😩😩 They can easily fall for anything it’s just sad !!! We should have been one of the richest country in the carribean with a very strong army. But we let Americans get into our heads and bribe us and now we have failed our own country and ancestors and what they fought for .
She said Haiti is porest country in América
I would like to asking her how and why ?
french and united states make HAITI like this they destroyed HAITI
GOD WILL TAKE VENGEANCE FOR HIS POEPLE
BAT CHEN AN TANN METRE LI
What kind of propaganda is this??? Nobody is protesting for Aristide to return except for the US and their core group of allies and gangs.
Stop lying! I think Aristid paid your channel to promote his return..I’m from Haiti and 80% of the people don’t won’t him back…
So exactly what will he do as part of a transitional gov that he didn’t do when he was President? I understand that things are bad right now but that’s not going to fix the problem in Haiti. The corruption runs too deep in every sector.
Dogs going back to its vomit they asking for one of the initiators of their problems the one who started with armed gangs in Haiti providing young kids with guns to kill his political adversaries
Go to YouTube search February 4 2004 guy Philippe celebration and see how happy the people were when that former president left the country
The people of Haiti are just lost Haiti is being ripped off by its own people ( politicians and wealthy businessmen with no conscience)
These translations are lies
how much they pay you to report this. gyet manman ou
