The United Nations says more than 100,000 children in Haiti are at risk of starving to death – because of escalating gang violence.
Gangs and vigilante groups control about 80 percent of the capital Port-au-Prince.
The UN estimates more than six hundred people were killed last month – and kidnappings are being reported every day.
Al Jazeera’s Teresa Bo reports from Port-Au-Prince.

#Haiti #HaitiUnrest #HaitiGangs #HaitiGangViolence #AlJazeeraEnglish
Haiti has been ruined by the evil US.
Who is supplying these gangs with weapons? Where is the national military?
@tabs what does the US get?
@Silence me Violate me gold, iridium, 34 cents an hour sweat shops, lawless drug route, uranium, people they can force to purchase Louisiana and Arkansas rice, fake charities, etc
@Marek Cracovia Can you prove that? What’s in it in particular for US rich oligarchs?
@Silence me Violate me this is what has been crossing to the DR 112 000 the average American can’t afford that many guns
@da a cheap labor , mineral resources, privatization of the entire state, maintaining control of the maritime passage, use the population as guinea pig for pharmaceutical industry, NGO foundation, Tax evasion /money laundering. , Haiti consumer markets it’s country of more than 11 millions people, remittances they do take a large percentage from Financial institutions, leisure company leased and planning on buying the land , on turtle Island and the North of Haiti. There’s a lot going
The US have one of biggest military installations in Guantanamo facing Haiti, including navassa island which they use as a lab .
Get NATO in there under the UN to protect the children, personally i would ask the Americans who are not only professional but do not mess around! I would seal off that City and let women and kids out, all the rest would be subject to house arrest!
Haiti don’t need the UN or anyone else to come and do nothing. The guns are coming from the United States, if they want to help they can simply stop the guns from going to Haiti to arm gangs.
Or don’t do anything, they seem to be solving the issue themselves
AL Jazeera is one of the best news media outlets on the Internet as they tell and show the truth!
@Intello You have no idea what’s going on. I have people there and I came from there 5 month ago , I more aware than people commenting on Al Jazeera that never been to Haiti. There’s no mention that the US is directly involved in the gangs violence. This is actually a quick fix . Al Jazeera is actually part of the problem, they should start reporting more in what going on in the middle East. The gangs doesn’t control 80 percent of the capital, more like 20 %
@Marek Cracoviaif you’re so wise go home and help. Or stop complaining about the US/Canada.
@Marek Cracovia “they should start reporting more in what going on in the middle East”
They do. You just don’t want AJ to mention Indian problems.
@Silas Larsen I should come to the US they the one running the show. It makes absolutely no sense, the problem of Haiti is not in Haiti, it’s in Washington. They overthrew a legitimate government in 2004, and now they put a puppet in place. I should definitely go to the US even though that I am not Haitian originally, I have been to that country multiple times .
@Ixxros Sorxxi what Indian problems? Look on how many times they reported on Yemen compare to Haiti. Yemen have civil war going on, western media doesn’t talk about it. AJ REPORTERS WHERE ARE THEY?
Blame the gang on the international elite taking advantage on this nation resources.
You perpetuate a nonsense and would gladly see it worsen rather than drop your tired Maaarxist narrative.
@Silas Larsen the gangs had nothing to do with the presidents assassination. us backed security forces on the other hand have had plenty of training, foreknowledge and motivation$ from your anti marxist narative.
What resources?
@Silence me Violate me iridium, oil; gold. Which Haiti outside of the continent of Africa has plenty of please get your research before you comment.
@Newnew When none of it is being processed and little is needed in the market. What does Africa have to do with Haiti? You just like to complain.
Cheers to Haiti! Kick the gangs out!
Mexico should do the same against the cartels but Mexico’s civilians are too scared to die and won’t fight them back..
they`re creating a new gang… to stop the gangs.
sounds like africa all over again, the never ending cycle
They need to have jungle justice .
In the name of all haitian ; I said thank you AL. For keeping an eye to the situation
घटना होने का अवसर शांत इलाका 17घंटा पहले माहौल बदले नेता का कहना हैती भूख का खयाल रखे इंतजार करने से फायदा नही हो रहा है
Why is that white women speaking for hati
they have no choice unite or be bound by these gangsters
No country wants to because it’s a lose lose situation. No matter what country tries, they will receive bad views from the international community. Tbe US asked Brazil, Mexico, and Canada to try something and everyone said no. The US has intervened before with no success, so they arent going again. You will be fighting gang members but are still civilians so you will be getting blamed for every death that occurs, your fault or not
With a corrupt political arena (like the woman sitting in a safe place in the US!!) will always blame outsiders while the Haitian politicians fuel the the conflicts for personal gains & not that of the people. Like the Afghanistan taliban (terrorist) regime, haiti wants all the international money aid so the corruption / violence against people can continue!!!
Should have stayed with France like French Guiana, Martinique, St Barth, Guadeloupe, etc. You guys got your freedom now.
😂😂😂They are disobedience slave that’s why the slave master is punishing them
Ignorant
I don’t know if you’re just ignorant or hateful, it’s a fine line between the two and more often than not inexistant. Either way you should educate yourself before sharing your “opinion”. Those are not for idiots to have.
The people of Haiti will get this under control. France US and Canada overthrow every government the Haitians elected. We don’t give up. Haitians will eventually get their peace when the US backed Ariel Henry is kicked out. This Ukraine war is what’s going to eventually destroy the western World and the Caribbean nations will flourish as a result. Haiti will emerge from this the world will be shocked God willing.
It is within their seleves. They can fix this.
imagine being freed in 1804 just to go back to this
@Mathieu Thierry that’s a lie
Won’t rise until you come back to the God as the Israelites and also force those Syrian-Haitians out of the country
It depends on what you call freedom. The very same revolution that let lead to Haïti’s “freedom” is the one that lead to civil rights act a century and a half later. The slave trading nations felt threatened, UK, France, US, Spain, Portugal, and ever since the country was subject to embargo after embargo and France submitted Haïti to a reparation fee that took over a century to pe paid back, we are talking over 21 billion US dollars of today’s money, which crippled their development. And as if that wasn’t enough, to this day the US is still interfering in Haiti’s politics when they trampled their first attempt to democracy and forcing implementing bad politics.
it’s not black and white. they were forced into poverty by France after the war and experienced devastating natural events as well
Not true free, the colonizers have NEVER left the world alone they just just perfected methods.
maybe the haitians should ask the chinese for help
Haiti hanya mengakui roc( Taiwan) 😅
🙏🙏🙏 may they win
Best to leave them alone. Past US and Canadian interventions just produced mixed results and complaining. That’s why they avoid it now.
Not mixed results. Absolutely devastating results
this country is just a free for all GTA lobby
😂
@SNIPERTOAST8 This is not laughing matter you sweat from a jackass’s balls filthy maggot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring your pu__y fairy a__ to the Bronx so my people can slap your happy a__ up B____!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What do these gangs want to achieve?
Power. When there is a power vacuum it will be filled by those who want to gain power to control resources.
The very same things our corrupt leaders want to achieve; PURE POWER OVER THE PEOPLE!
A weird existence…
Equality for the poor
They said they want Haitians to take the boats to other countries so they can have the country for themselves.
i blame the corrupt security forces for the presidents assassination and current unrest.
Nuke haiti and start all over again
Yea boy, this is what’s trying to infiltrate our Country! And not only from Haiti.
I don’t understand why our leaders ignor this threat so close to home yet there we are in Ukraine.
Somehow our leaders have convinced themselves that they’ll be exempt from the danger they’re flirting with at the cost of America and americans. Do they really think they’ll escape the madness once there is no turning back?
If we haven’t already passed that threshold, we are nearing it!
That’s the problem with most americans, they haven’t learned the thousands of years of world history.
Compared to European countries American is a baby, only 248 yrs. old and now we are being tested! Is America going to pass this test? Or will our great Country be a mere chapter in future history books?
Those that don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
I’m glad I’ve lived most my life and won’t be around to see the fall of America. But, that doesn’t stop my heart from breaking when faced with the inevitable. I can only pray. Please God, bless America 🇺🇸!
If America doesn’t take a hard stand and stop the madness we’re allowing inside, our very young Country will perish as we know it!
But what about the human rights of criminals? 😯
You’re mistaken. Criminals are not humans in our Haitian book.
I presume you were being sarcastic?
White people stay out of Haiti, we don’t need your help to save us from the things you caused in our country.
Fake news, America assassination of
The Haitian President, is what caused
the unrest , what about the murder trial
That’s how the last earthquake got started bro, stop stumping, marching, and playing drums
We need to ship AR15s to the Haitian citizens so they can overthrow the gangs tyranny
It made African gangs and their assciotes gone Scarface style.
Stay Safe Teresa😊
China caused this.
What is happening in Africa? NATO do something. Do effort to stop tyranny and bring peace to Africa. Maybe Russia and China are the culprit here . They’re probably sponsoring groups to make chaos in Africa.
I had hope in Al Jazeera but I had to unsubscribe, this reportage is garbage, y’all lost me when y’all started reporting about the belair gang war, it happened months ago and since the bwa kale movement, port au prince is being slowly safe again. Like I said this reportage is full of misinformation, y’all wrong for that
Jamaica not very safe either.
Jamaica is safer bro am a businessman in jamaica and i feel safe
That’s far worse than Jamaica
Good move, nobody will build your country except yourself Haitians.
Rise, don’t be afraid the time has arrived.
It is authoritarianism that is weak and careless to do anything about it.
White new reporter America says you to tell lies but Jamaican people are watching you America is the problem 👉✈🚀🚀🚀🪦⚰🇮🇱🇺🇸🇪🇺🇬🇧🪦⚰👈👀👀🇨🇺🇨🇺🇻🇪🇻🇪🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇷🇧🇷🇯🇲🇯🇲🇭🇹🇭🇹🌍🤔🤔🤔🤔🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
Find out who’s giving them guns and stop it from happening.
USA
According to what I’ve read, all the weapons and amuntion that gets to Haiti, is coming from USA. What’s probably unkown (at least to public), is, which organisations are directly behind this. Maybe the US Government should just impose an embargo and everything would stop.
Who are the gangs that are taking and kidnapping ???
You people need love. Black people need. You have everything you need in your country. You people let corruption control you. Live in peace, forget politics smh wake up people
Haitians are peace loving US backed politicians does this to remain in power. US has control over the politicians but in denial the politicians are destabilizing with gangs to stay as long as they can in power. They claim elections cannot take place in this chaos but it is their own making. The people always unite to change the situation. It’s a process we will emerge from this.
White people in America will help Ukraine but ignore Mexico and Haiti 😮
Good for you guys!! Tske out the gangs…just put them in the ground…stay safe.. protect your family
Haiti has no oil, you are on your own Haiti
Blame the voodo. Look into it. Itll explain it all…. The Great Controversy is real. Too real.
So, we can blame Christianity as well because voodoo has never colonized countries, created genocide, nor did it molest young boys and girls. Voudo is the culture of our ancestors. FYI.
Are you an Adventist?
Isn’t this how the taliban gets started? Vigilante groups start out for the good but once that problem is over you now have a small army who will end up becoming worse then the gangs.
So you are brainwashed by the western news that the Taliban is bad?! You need psychological help.
Except these are not smaller gangs forming but citizens who are tired of being terrorized in their own homes
I think Haiti is going to need a little “democracy” in their life’s here soon. Smells like America world police time.
CRYOUT TO GOD! REPENT OF YOUR SINS! GIVE YOUR HEARTS AND LIVES TO JESUS and FORSAKE VOODOO and ALL OTHER SINS! AMEN!!
Get a real leader for President of Haiti 🇭🇹. Have him get the Armed Forces and the police catch and arrest all of the gangsters and put them in jail where they obviously belong. They should put away all of the corrupt politicians and sent them to prison as well.
The big letters are not intended to yell at anybody. They are only intended for emphasis.
JESUS ❤ 🇭🇹.
Bob Marley – Burnin’ and Lootin’:
“We gonna be burnin’ and a-lootin’ tonight
(To survive, yeah!)
Burnin’ and a-lootin’ tonight
(Save your babies’ lives)
Burning all pollution tonight”
And the Biden administration is silent ! Wtf !!
Look up haiti oil crisis, those so called gangsters put up blockades, because the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Look away nothing happening here.
So much hypocrites. Why the UN not stepping in it is because it is a black nation. If they were white they would of intervene already. Not fair look at russia. It is not they business but they interested. But not for poor haitian
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL FOR THE HAITIAN PEOPLE.
When these people finally fix their lives and pay extreme price and get rid of the gangs the USA will show up in the name of doing good or “peacekeeping” to dismantle their peace and progress so they can loose it for centuries like they have been doing in Somalia.
Why the UN is waiting to intervene in order to avert this calamity instead of looking for a country to lead a multi-lateral force to combat Gangs in Haiti…?
Black’s clearly can’t govern themselves, like their African brothers they act like savage’s.
I thank God to be born in congo Brazzaville
I wish you people all the best on this fight, stay strong
Perfect example of trying to take away guns from law abiding citizens, this is what happens
I love how you mention the g9 gang but yet you are showing b-role of the 5segond gang.
Haiti’s diversity is their strength.
Finally !!!
My prayers for those folks
I really like how the reporter don’t even bother saying the literal translation of Bwa Klae
they`re creating a new gang… to stop the gangs.
sounds like africa all over again, the never ending cycle
The United States has been involved in Haiti for over 100 years. The U.S should be responsible for bear the burden. It’s political. It wouldn’t look good again, especially in this Joe Biden Campaign season, to see white u.s military soldiers shooting at Haitian
And yall beeches wanna find the police….hmmmmmm..lol or want bm to run your communities… im good.
As a good Christian that movement makes them the same or worse than the gang members war is never the answer
Hillary Clinton earthquakes children
Well the people have a right to defend themselves. Haiti does not need a president and corrupt politicians; which is at the root of the problem. They lost a generation because those gangbangers have committed atrocities that they should no longer be counted amongst the living. The people need laws that will put people to death in order to teach lessons to lawless criminals. Laws such as you steal, you get your hands cut, kidnapping should be a death sentence, rape should be a body part cut off and a death sentence, and hurting children should be a death sentence. Democracy has been a death sentence in Haiti.
DON’T COME TO UNITED STATES GO TO FRANCE 😂😂😂
Good, I’m proud of them .
Exactly, the people need to rise up and take down all the trash .
