Hace un año Ariel Henry, presentaba su dimisión como primer ministro de Haití en medio de una ola de violencia en el país. La situación no ha mejorado sino que es cada vez más preocupante. Los haitianos, además de sufrir las consecuencias de una crisis política, tratan de evitar la violencia de las bandas criminales, que operan con total impunidad en el país.

Un organismo de Naciones Unidas ha publicado un informe que detalla la violencia sexual y de género que sufren los palestinos por parte de las autoridades de Israel. Vamos a conocer el contenido del informe. Esta tarde se ha pronunciado el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin sobre la propuesta de Estados Unidos de un alto el fuego en Ucrania. Ha dicho que está de acuerdo con detener las hostilidades pero eso no significa que apoye el plan. De hecho ha planteado varios peros. También estaremos en Haití, un año después de la dimisión del primer ministro Ariel Henry y la situación, para analizar cómo puede ser el futuro del país. Hablaremos de las protestas en Argentina contra los recortes de Javier Milei que anoche dejaron medio centenar de heridos y más de cien detenidos.Escuchar audio

En Haïti, un Nouvel An sous le signe de l'indépendance et de la soupe joumou

Haïti célèbre ce mercredi les 221 ans de son indépendance. Symbole de cette libération du peuple : la soupe joumou, traditionnellement dégustée chaque 1ᵉʳ janvier – et entrée au patrimoine immatériel de l'Unesco en 2021. Lila Olkinuora s'est rendue en banlieue parisienne à la rencontre de la traiteur Wismonde Saintville, qui, après avoir quitté Haïti pour la région parisienne il y a une vingtaine d'années, fait vivre la tradition de la soupe joumou – plus précisément la recette de sa grand-mère. Cette soupe, c'est une transmission culinaire, mais aussi une transmission de l'histoire d'Haïti : « Les esclaves n'avaient pas le droit d'en manger », raconte Wismonde Saintville, « il n'avait pas le droit de toucher au giraumon (la courge utilisée dans la recette), même lorsque c'est eux qui l'avaient cultivé. Et après notre indépendance, notre victoire sur l'armée de Bonaparte, tout le monde se met à manger cette soupe. Quand on mange cette soupe, on sent vraiment qu'on est libre… »La soupe Joumou, c'est donc le symbole de l'indépendance d'Haïti, en 1804, une indépendance sur laquelle la presse haïtienne revient ce mercredi 1ᵉʳ janvier 2025. Dans Alter Presse, Watson Denis, docteur en histoire, écrit : « Le leitmotiv de la Révolution haïtienne s'est fait autour du principe idéologique : ‘l'Union fait la force'. Quand on s'est départi de cette voie émancipatrice, on s'est dévoyé jusqu'à perdre le nord ». Et l'auteur d'appeler à « recoudre le tissu social au lieu de continuer à le déchiqueter », pour « recommencer la route de l'émancipation véritable du peuple haïtien ». Mais la route est longue, semble répondre Le National : « L'année 2024 restera gravée dans les mémoires comme une période où la crise politique a atteint son paroxysme », entre démission du Premier ministre Ariel Henry sous la pression des gangs, transition politique difficile – avec un scandale de corruption qui secoue le Conseil présidentiel de transition… En 2025, le défi est de taille pour la classe politique, écrit le quotidien : « Rétablir l'ordre et la sécurité tout en redonnant confiance aux citoyens et en construisant un avenir politique durable ».Porto Rico privé d'électricité pour le Nouvel anContraste frappant entre les Unes de journaux présentant des villes aux gratte-ciels illuminés, avec des ciels où explosent les feux d'artifice (le New York Times, le quotidien mexicain Excelsior), et le sort de Porto Rico, cette île des Caraïbes associée aux États-Unis et aujourd'hui privée d'électricité. « Mardi soir », écrit USA Today, « plus de 82% des clients de la compagnie Luma Energy, qui fournit le territoire, passaient le réveillon du Nouvel an sans électricité » - sachant que l'île est une destination populaire pour les vacances de fin d'années. Selon Luma Energy, le blackout pourrait venir d'une défaillance sur une ligne souterraine. L'île a souvent des problèmes d'alimentation électrique, à cause, écrit Politico, de la fragilité de son réseau, « en grande partie dû à de la négligence et au manque d'investissement de l'entreprise publique ». Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon, la nouvelle gouverneure de Porto Rico, affirme sur X que stabiliser ce système sera sa priorité quand elle prendra ses fonctions.Les aidants au ChiliAu Chili, 6 % de la population, soit plus d'un million de personnes, sont des aidants - des personnes qui s'occupent de leur proche malade, handicapé ou en perte d'autonomie. Plus de 8 fois sur 10, ce sont des femmes qui tiennent ce rôle. Souvent précaires, seules, elles souffrent physiquement et moralement de ce travail non rémunéré et invisibilisé par la société. Le gouvernement de Gabriel Boric essaye de renforcer les programmes publics mis en place pour leur venir en aide et alléger leur quotidien.La correspondante de RFI à Santiago, Naïla Derroisné a ainsi rencontré Lydia, qui s'occupe seule de son fils en fauteuil roulant – et de ses deux autres enfants. Lydia qui n'a pas d'emploi, car elle n'a pas le temps… Depuis environ un an, elle voit gratuitement une psychologue, grâce au programme mis en place par le gouvernement.Par ailleurs, une grande partie des femmes aidantes n'ont jamais cotisé pour leur retraite. Elles sont inquiètes pour leur vieillesse, mais craignent surtout de ne plus pouvoir prendre soin de ceux qui dépendent entièrement d'elles.Des vagues destructricesAu Pérou, d'énormes vagues frappent les côtes du nord du pays. Un phénomène rare où les conditions atmosphériques se combinent aux courants marins qui se croisent dans cette région. Martin Chabal s'est rendu dans la station balnéaire de Mancora, dont une grande partie du littoral a été détruite : les vagues n'ont laissé que des morceaux de béton sur la plage de sable blanc. « Ça a dépassé le haut du quai. Ça a emporté des bateaux qui ont été réduits en poussière », explique, accablé, Juan, un pêcheur de 71 ans. Un peu plus loin, le long de la plage, Carlos nettoie les restes de son hôtel : « Là, tu avais des cabanes de deux étages… Tout est parti à la mer ». Les sacs de sable de plus d'une tonne n'ont pas permis de stopper le raz de marée.Donald Trump, le Groenland et le canal de PanamaPanama a célébré ce mardi ses 25 années de souveraineté sur le célèbre canal. « Souveraineté », un mot sur lequel le président Mulino a insisté ce mardi - c'est à lire dans La Estrella de Panama : « Il est important que nos jeunes aient à l'esprit le prix énorme de la lutte et du sang qui a été engagé pour hisser notre drapeau en ce lieu, comme signe indubitable de souveraineté ». Une référence très claire aux menaces du président américain élu Donald Trump de reprendre le contrôle du canal.À lire à ce sujet dans le New York Times, un article liant au changement climatique les déclarations de Donald Trump sur une éventuelle prise de contrôle par les États-Unis du canal de Panama, mais aussi du Groenland. Explication : au Groenland, la fonte des glaces ouvre des perspectives de forage pétroliers et gaziers, et d'extractions de minéraux. Ces dix dernières années, elle a aussi permis d'ouvrir de nouvelles routes commerciales, alors que le canal de Panama a connu en 2023 une sécheresse qui a très sérieusement handicapé ses opérations. Interrogé par le quotidien, un spécialiste de l'Université de Stanford estime que cet intérêt de Donald Trump pour le canal du Panama et le Groenland sont « une sorte de reconnaissance indirecte » de la réalité du changement climatique (dont il continue de nier l'existence), et du fait qu'il engendre des défis mondiaux.Le journal de la PremièreLe problème de la vie chère concerne la Martinique, mais aussi la Guadeloupe.

Seguimos con la segunda parte de la audioserie titulada "Érase una vez el Este", en ese viaje y aventuras y desventuras de nuestros protagonistas a la isla caribeña en la que se encuentra Haití. Como ya sabéis esta serie o audioserie consiste en varios capítulos en los que se mezclan la realidad y la ficción y en los que hablamos de hechos históricos y de sucesos que están de plena actualidad. Y este proyecto de "Érase una vez el Este", es idea, como ya sabéis, de dos grandes amigos de LA BIBLIOTECA DE LA HISTORIA, como son Juan Lamas, malagueño, historiador, escritor y guionista, y Verónica, barcelonesa, actriz y cantante amateur y gran apasionada por la historia. Ellos son los artífices de esto y les agradezco su trabajo. *En este programa tenemos de nuevo el placer de contar con la voz de nuestros grandes amigos Julio Caronte y Doc Salvaje del podcast Relatos Salvajes. Os dejo con el noveno capítulo titulado "Más allá del jardín". En fechas tan señaladas como la Navidad, es mandato ético acordarse de los menos favorecidos. Haití es el país menos favorecido de toda América, ya lo sabéis. Más allá del que fuera el Jardín del Caribe que lucha por brotar, existen intereses maquiavélicos que no quieren que renazca. Intereses mundanos, vulgares, intereses económicos y políticos. ¿Pero qué hacer cuando la naturaleza también conspira para matarte? Al principio de la serie recordamos cómo los colonos de la Corona de Castilla supervivientes acabaron abandonando la parte occidental de la isla de Santo Domingo y si el territorio quedó libre para su explotación por los filibusteros, fue precisamente por la dureza del clima, con periódicos huracanes, enormes montañas, selvas intransitables e insalubres, y los temblores de tierra, los más crueles y destructivos terremotos que zarandeaban los edificios como si fueran de juguete. Haití se está muriendo. A finales de 2024 la misión policial y militar keniata fracasa en imponer el orden a la fuerza. Pero hay gente en Haití que no se rinde, que lucha por construir una vida. Para ellos, Feliz Navidad, y Feliz Navidad a todos. Este es un Podcast producido y dirigido por Gerión de Contestania, miembro del grupo "Divulgadores de la Historia".

La ONU estima que ya son más de 5.000 las personas asesinadas en Haití desde que arrancase el año 2024. La última masacre, ocurrida el pasado fin de semana donde murieron al menos 184 personas, se convierte en una cifra más para la trágica estadística en un país donde la masa social se ha rendido ante el poder que ejercen las pandillas frente a un gobierno interino incapaz de restaurar la estabilidad.  El gobierno de Haití prometió este lunes detener a los pandilleros que, según un balance de la ONU, mataron a al menos 184 personas durante el fin de semana en un barrio de Puerto Príncipe. "Estos últimos fallecidos llevan el balance de muertos en Haití este año al número descomunal de 5.000 personas", precisó el Alto Comisionado de la ONU para los Derechos Humanos, Volker Türk, durante una rueda de prensa en Ginebra en alusión a las víctimas de la violencia pandillera.“Cada vez las bandas se están fortaleciendo”“Lo triste es que actualmente, es como si la gente estuviera tristemente acostumbrada a este desastre. Y lo peor que puede pasar a un país, es que la gente se acostumbre a esta situación porque repentinamente tenemos 184, pero si pensamos en Pont-Sondé en el inicio de noviembre, si pensamos en Solino hace menos de dos semanas, y ahora lo que acaba de pasar en Cité Soleil, son acciones repetidas, o sea, es algo inconcebible de otro nivel ahora que está pasando en el país. Y lo triste es que cada vez las bandas se están fortaleciendo frente a la policía”, explica el politólogo haitiano Joseph Harold Pierre.El país se encuentra sumido en una grave crisis política y de inseguridad. Y no se encuentran evidencias de que se pueda frenar este contexto. “Cierto, porque los representantes del ‘Estado' entre comillas, porque venimos diciendo desde 2019 que no existe Estado en Haití, no tienen absolutamente nada de credibilidad. Sin embargo, cuando se fue en abril el primer ministro Ariel Henry, el Consejo Presidencial de Transición gozaba de cierta credibilidad, pero ahora está envuelto en un escándalo de corrupción y eso hace que el Consejo haya perdido toda la credibilidad”, analiza Joseph Harold Pierre. Apostar por una intervención de la comunidad internacional“Y ahora no hay ninguna luz al final del túnel. No se sabe lo que va a pasar”, enfatiza. “¿Qué es lo que creo yo? Sigo apostando por una intervención fuerte, importante de la comunidad internacional para acabar con las bandas y de ahí yo creo que existe la posibilidad de que emerja un nuevo liderazgo político en Haití. Es la única solución a mediano plazo, porque si va a haber una intervención militar internacional, eso va a tomar mínimo seis meses para que la misión llegue a Haití. O sea, en el mejor de los casos, estaremos igual para seis u ocho meses más”, concluye el politólogo. Según la ONG haitiana Comité por la Paz y el Desarrollo, la mayoría de las personas asesinadas el pasado fin de semana tenían más de 60 años, pero entre las víctimas también había jóvenes que intentaron intervenir. La incesante violencia ha desplazado a más de 700.000 personas, la mitad de ellas niños, en todo el país, según cifras de la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones.

Haití tiene nuevo primer ministro desde el lunes 11 de noviembre. Alexis Didier Fils-Aimé remplazó a Gary Conille, destituido por el Consejo Presidencial de Transición tras solo cinco meses en el cargo. El nuevo mandatario se comprometió  a "trabajar incansablemente por la cohesión política y el restablecimiento de la seguridad en el país". ¿Logrará salir Haití del cataclismo? El Consejo Presidencial de Transición de Haití (CPT) destituyó al primer ministro, Garry Conille, y nombró como reemplazo al empresario Alix Didier Fils-Aime, Esto en medio de señalamientos de corrupción contra miembros de ese organismo, creado, precisamente, para recuperar la estabilidad de país.La destitución de Conille representa otro retroceso en el proceso de recuperación del país, el más pobre de América e impactado por una violencia cada vez mayor.Haití vive una crisis sin precedentes luego del asesinato del presidente Jovenel Moïse en julio de 2021. La debacle humanitaria, política y el creciente poder de grupos criminales asolan al país, una situación que llevó a la renuncia del entonces primer ministro, Ariel Henry, en marzo pasado.Las pandillas y grupos armados han logrado asumir el control de la mayor parte de la capital, Puerto Príncipe, y se han extendido por zonas aledañas, acrecentando la crisis humanitaria y alimentaria y obligando a cientos de miles de personas a abandonar sus hogares.Leer tambiénTensión en Haití: a la destitución del primer ministro se suma la amenaza de otra ola de violenciaLa negativa de Conille a llevar a cabo una reestructuración de gabinete parece estar entre las causas de su destitución, según medios locales.El esperado Consejo Presidencial de Transición en Haití fue creado oficialmente el 12 de abril, un mes después de que Henry anunciara su renuncia, con el fin de poner fin a la situación de extrema vulnerabilidad. Pero, la situación no ha cedido.A la inestabilidad política se suman ahora nuevas amenazas de las pandillas.El líder de la mayor banda criminal del país, el expolicía Jimmy Cherizier, alias 'Barbecue', aseguró esta semana que "la batalla empezará de nuevo", una advertencia que tiene paralizada a parte de la nación y que causó el desplazamiento de miles de personas.Las bandas armadas han causado la muerte de casi 5.000 personas en los primeros nueve meses de 2024, según la ONU.Con este panorama, ¿qué puede pasar en Haití?  ¿Cuáles son las perspectivas para la transición? ¿Qué peso tiene la amenaza de la coalición de pandillas?

Dégradation de la situation à Port-au-Prince

En Haïti, la situation sécuritaire s'est fortement dégradée, ces derniers jours, dans plusieurs secteurs de la zone métropolitaine. Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence Alter Presse, revient sur la dégradation de la situation depuis deux jours à Port-au-Prince et ses environs. Des tirs nourris ont résonné ce lundi (21 octobre 2024) dans plusieurs endroits, avec des barrages et des barricades enflammées. Un des points les plus chauds : Solino, au centre de la capitale, qui subit les attaques répétées de la coalition des gangs armés Viv Ansanm. Depuis les attaques du 17 octobre à Port-au-Prince, 4 200 personnes ont été déplacées.La situation est aussi très tendue en province, notamment dans le département de l'Artibonite, dans le nord du pays, avec notamment l'attaque d'une école – un parent d'élève a été tué et plusieurs élèves blessés.Face à cela, le gouvernement a décidé de redéployer des unités d'élite, là où les combats les plus rudes avec les gangs ont lieu – ces centaines de policiers et soldats sont actuellement affectés à la protection de personnalités importantes.La « désarticulation de la transition »Les deux chefs de l'exécutif ont visité le quartier général des Forces armées d'Haïti mais séparément à 24 heures d'intervalle : « Le Conseil présidentiel de transition et le Premier ministre font un grand concours de visites et de réunions pour la galerie », titre le Nouvelliste : ils « affichent au grand jour la désarticulation de la transition », juge le quotidien, alors que « parallèlement à ces visites (…) les groupes criminels continuent de sanctionner la population ». « Ce n'est pas le moment des querelles politiques », a insisté Brian A. Nichols, l'assistant-secrétaire d'État américain pour les Affaires de l'hémisphère occidental. D'autant que, souligne Frantz Duval dans son éditorial, « si, en février, le Premier ministre Ariel Henry était en vadrouille quand les gangs ont déferlé sur Port-au-Prince, cette fois les chefs sont au pays, il s'entredéchirent et font enfler leurs albums photos ».  États-Unis : journal de campagneComme chaque mardi, l'envoyé spécial permanent de RFI, à Washington, Guillaume Naudin fait le point sur la campagne. Il revient sur la loterie organisée par Elon Musk. Le milliardaire a créé un comité d'action politique pour soutenir Donald Trump, et ce comité a lancé une pétition en faveur, officiellement, de la défense de la Constitution et du droit à détenir et porter des armes – mais uniquement dans les sept États-clé. Chaque électeur inscrit comme électeur et qui signe la pétition reçoit 100 dollars, plus 47 dollars par autre électeur inscrit qu'il convainc de signer la pétition. Chaque jour jusqu'à l'élection, un des signataires de sa pétition recevra par tirage au sort un million de dollars. Or, explique Guillaume Naudin, cela ressemble à de l'achat de votes, ce que la loi interdit. Les experts légaux sont divisés...À noter également que, selon la commission électorale fédérale, au mois de septembre, la campagne Harris a levé trois fois plus d'argent que la campagne Trump. Sur les trois derniers mois, le total pour les démocrates s'élève à un milliard de dollars. De l'argent qui part notamment en publicité dans les États-clé. « Populisme, agression et grossièreté »Donald Trump est en tête du vote masculin, et il « insiste avec une posture de macho », titre USA Today qui, comme beaucoup d'autres quotidiens, revient sur les propos qu'a tenus le candidat ce week-end : « douze minutes de remarques décousues sur le golfeur décédé Arnold Palmer, un monologue qu'il a conclu par une réflexion sur la taille du pénis de Monsieur Palmer », raconte l'éditorialiste du New York Times. Pendant ce meeting, l'ancien président a aussi traité Kamala Harris de « vice-présidente de merde ». « Cela ne va certainement attirer les électeurs qu'il faut encore persuader », explique dans The Hill une conseillère républicaine :« Mais nous sommes aujourd'hui à un moment où les deux camps veulent surtout mobiliser leurs bases. » Le fait est que, « à de nombreuses reprises », écrit un reporter de Politico, « les électeurs nous ont dit que c'est ce qu'ils aimaient à propos de Trump : il dit ce qu'il pense (…) Ce genre de discours est largement accepté maintenant, et particulièrement pour Trump, à en croire ses électeurs ». Présidentielle américaine : environnement, climat et candidatsSimon Rozé, le chef du service environnement / climat de RFI, détaille les positions des deux candidats à la présidentielle sur les sujets environnementaux.Donald Trumpnie le changement climatique, en relativise ses conséquences, et veut détricoter les politiques et réglementations existantes. Et aujourd'hui, ses soutiens et lui apparaissent bien plus préparés que lors de sa présidence pour mener à bien ce travail de sape.  Le candidat républicain appuie aussi de manière marquée le secteur des hydrocarbures. Lorsqu'il a reçu des patrons du secteur, Donald Trump leur a fait une offre : un milliard de dollars pour financer sa campagne, contre un engagement à suspendre toutes les mesures prises par l'administration Biden restreignant leurs activités.De son côté, Kamala Harris reste peu prolixe sur le sujet, très clivant aux États-Unis. Certes, lorsqu'on la questionne sur le sujet, elle est claire : le réchauffement climatique existe, il est d'origine humaine, c'est le défi de ce siècle... mais elle ne s'étend pas. Et tout en entendant poursuivre le plan de Joe Biden d'investissement massif dans la transition énergétique, elle n'est plus opposée au gaz de schiste, grâce auquel les États-Unis sont redevenus le premier pays producteur mondial de pétrole. Au Pérou, l'ancien président Alejandro Toledo condamné à vingt ans et six mois de prisonAlejandro Toledo, 78 ans, président de 2001 à 2006, a été condamné pour collusion et blanchiment d'argent, liés au pot-de-vin reçu de l'entreprise brésilienne de BTP Odebrecht, rapporte El Peruano. Un pot-de-vin de 34 millions de dollars reçu pour la construction d'une autoroute. C'est le premier président de la région, note le quotidien, à être condamné dans cette affaire. El Comercio rappelle ses premiers jours de présidence : « il était arrivé au Palais porté par l'espoir de millions de Péruviens, comme l'alternative démocratique à l'autoritarisme et la corruption de Fujimori. Mais une fois installé, il a abandonné les vraies tâches du gouvernement pour se consacrer à la corruption et à la mise en place de pots-de-vin pour se remplir les poches. » Le journal de la PremièreEn Martinique, la nuit a été plutôt calme mais le mouvement contre la vie chère se poursuit.

Haití continúa en una espiral de violencia, crisis humanitaria y de problemas políticos. El 3 de octubre, la banda criminal Gran Grif cometió una masacre en la pequeña localidad de Pont-Sondé, que dejó más de cien muertos y causó el desplazamiento de unas 6.000 personas. Un día antes, tres de los nueve miembros del Consejo Presidencial de Transición fueron acusados de corrupción. Y a ello se sumó el inicio de un plan de deportaciones masivas en República Dominicana, a donde han huido miles de haitianos debido a la violencia.  Ante este cúmulo de problemas, calificado por la ONU como un cataclismo, ¿qué camino puede tomar este empobrecido país? Lo analizamos en El Debate. La masacre cometida la madrugada del 3 de octubre por la banda criminal Gran Grif en las calles de Pont Sondé, a unos 100 kilómetros de Puerto Príncipe, dejó más de cien muertos, entre ellos mujeres y niños, y sacudió una vez más al país, inmerso en una crisis de violencia que sigue empeorando.La matanza causó, además, un nuevo éxodo masivo, acentuando la difícil situación social, económica, política y humanitaria en Haití, el más pobre de América Latina y el Caribe.Haití enfrenta desde hace años niveles alarmantes de ataques de pandillas, una crisis humanitaria en aumento y un éxodo interno y externo, en medio de la incapacidad del Gobierno para restaurar la estabilidad.Incluso, una coalición de pandillas poderosas, que ha prácticamente doblegado al Estado, forzó la renuncia del primer ministro Ariel Henry.La ONU ha subrayado que la situación es “cataclísmica” y que “abordar la inseguridad debe ser una máxima prioridad para proteger a la población y evitar más sufrimiento humano”.Leer tambiénHaití: asciende a 70 el número de muertos en la masacre perpetrada por la pandilla Gran GrifLa incertidumbre en República DominicanaA causa de esa violencia sin precedentes miles de haitianos han huido hacia la vecina República Dominicana, donde, sin embargo, se enfrentan a la deportación.De hecho, el Gobierno dominicano, que insiste en que la inestabilidad en Haití genera una presión sobre la seguridad y los servicios de salud y educación nacionales, anunció el 2 de octubre que expulsará a hasta 10.000 indocumentados por semana.Ahora los haitianos se enfrentan a una tensión extrema tanto en su país, por el temor a ser víctimas de los grupos armados, como en República Dominicana, donde muchos migrantes que trabajan en la construcción, la agricultura o el comercio informal viven con el miedo de ser expulsados.Leer tambiénRepública Dominicana anunció que hará deportaciones masivas de migrantes haitianosFrente a este acorralamiento, ¿qué soluciones tienen los haitianos y qué camino puede tomar su país?

Haití era ya el país más pobre de América en 2010, cuando sufrió uno de los terremotos más devastadores de que se tenga registro en la historia de la humanidad. Y lejos estaba de recuperarse de las consecuencias del sismo, que dejó por lo menos 100 mil muertos, cuando el presidente Jovenel Moïse fue asesinado en 2021. Por si algo faltaba, ese año Haití sufrió otro terremoto más, con más de 2 mil muertos y unos 1.500 millones de dólares en daños. Los secuestros crecieron 72% en 2021, aumentó la violencia entre pandillas, se disparó el hambre, y se desataron protestas contra el gobierno impopular de Ariel Henry. La situación desembocó en la toma del poder por parte de líderes pantilleros que forzaron a Henry a renunciar. Cuando parecía que el país tocaba un nuevo fondo, una misión internacional de paz partió hacia suelo haitiano desde un lugar quizás inesperado: Kenia. Con la misión de Naciones Unidas para la estabilización de Haití terminada en 2017 y muy desprestigiada, la comunidad internacional apoyó la iniciativa del país africano, que envió una primera tanda de 2.500 policías para patrullar la capital, Puerto Príncipe, y entrenar a las fuerzas de seguridad locales. ¿Cómo llega Kenia a liderar una misión de paz de este tipo? ¿Qué tiene que ver este país africano con el caribeño? Es el tema para una nueva columna de Mirando a África, con Mercedes Sayagués.

Content warning for discussion of genocide, torture, mutilation, rape, and slavery Hey, Hi, Hello, this is the History Wizard and welcome back for Day 16 of Have a Day w/ The History Wizard. Thank you to everyone who tuned in for Day 15 last week, and especially thank you to everyone who rated and/or reviewed the podcast. I hope you all learned something last week and I hope the same for this week. This week marks the 7th part of our mini series of currently ongoing genocides and humanitarian crises. Episode 2 was on Palestine, Episode 11 was on Congo, episode 12 was on Sudan, episode 13 was on Xinjiang, episode 14 was on Rakhine State, episode 15 was on Tigray, and today's episode will focus on the current situation in Haiti. Today's trip to the Alchemist's Table will look somewhat similar to last weeks. This drink is called Persephone's Wedding. It starts with muddled mint before adding some lavender simple syrup and 2 oz of gin. Strain all that over ice and stir for about 30 seconds before topping with lemonade and garnishing with mint. Starting in 1492 Haiti became one of the first European colonies following Columbus's first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean with the settlement at La Navidad. Haiti would remain under European control until their revolution that ended in 1804. We're glossing pretty heavily over the Haitian Revolution in today's episode because the Haitian Revolution and the subsequent Haitian Massacre will be a later episode on this podcast. Now, just because Haiti was now an independent nation and no longer a French colony didn't mean that the country was free of European influence or control. Spain, Germany, and Britain still had large amounts of economic and political sway in the island nation. This would especially be the case when US President Woodrow Wilson, that racist movie loving fuck, sent the Marines to occupy Port au-Prince. Germany was also heavily invested in the island nation, and while the US wasn't in World War 1 yet, they had severe anxieties over an anti-American, and pro-German, president being installed so they took over the nation, overthrew Vilbrun Guillaume Sam, the then president of Haiti. The Marines declared martial law and severely censored the press. Within weeks, a new pro-U.S. Haitian president, Philippe Sudré Dartiguenave, was installed and a new constitution written that was favorable to the interests of the United States. The constitution (written by future US President Franklin D. Roosevelt) included a clause that allowed, for the first time, foreign ownership of land in Haiti, which was bitterly opposed by the Haitian legislature and citizenry. The US would keep a firm grip on Haitian politics, even after their occupation ended in 1934. Haiti would now enter an even greater period of political instability (which is not to say that US occupation was a good thing, an end of colonial occupation often sees old ethnic tensions flare up and massive violence enacted to dismantle colonial power structures). The president at the end of the occupation, Sténio Vincent was forced to step down under US pressure in 1941 and was replaced by Élie Lescot who served until 1946 when he was overthrown in a military coup d'etat and replaced by Dumarsais Estimé until 1950 when HE was overthrown in a military coup and replaced by the staunchly anti-communist Paul Magloire who was strongly supported by the US. Now despite the massive amounts of political instability that we just discussed, it is about to get worse with the Duvalier dynasty.  In 1956–57 Haiti underwent severe political turmoil; Magloire was forced to resign and leave the country in 1956 and he was followed by four short-lived presidencies. In the September 1957 election François Duvalier was elected President of Haiti. Known as 'Papa Doc' and initially popular, Duvalier remained President until his death in 1971. He advanced black interests in the public sector, where over time, people of color had predominated as the educated urban elite. Not trusting the army, despite his frequent purges of officers deemed disloyal, Duvalier created a private militia known as Tontons Macoutes ("Bogeymen"), which maintained order by terrorizing the populace and political opponents. In 1964 Duvalier proclaimed himself 'President for Life'; an uprising against his rule that year in Jérémie was violently suppressed, with the ringleaders publicly executed and hundreds of mixed-raced citizens in the town killed. The bulk of the educated and professional class began leaving the country, and corruption became widespread. Duvalier sought to create a personality cult, identifying himself with Baron Samedi, one of the loa (or lwa), or spirits, of Haitian Vodou. Despite the well-publicized abuses under his rule, Duvalier's firm anti-Communism earned him the support of the Americans, who furnished the country with aid. This is something you will find about the United States. While they style themselves the land of the free and the home of the brave they're more than willing to finance and support dictators as long as they 1. Oppose communism and 2. Give the US a free hand to control their economy. So it didn't matter to the “Greatest Country on Earth” is Papa Doc was killing mixed race people and all of his political opponents. He was anti-communist and that was good enough. Now there WAS a coup attempt against Duvalier in the first year of his reign (the first of many) led by some of the military officials he had fired. Those men thought that they could come riding back in and that the people, fed up of Papa Doc's growing autocratic tendencies, would rally to them and they would quickly restore the old social order. But Haiti had gone through 4 presidents the year before Papa Doc came into office and while he wasn't the best loved president, he was considered competent (having previous served as Minister of Health) and he was bringing order and stability to the country. So the coup attempters.. There's got to be a better way of saying that, were all killed and their bodies dragged through the streets of Port au-Prince, as if each citizen was a little Achilles dragging Hector around the walls of Troy. Papa Doc, despite the multiple coup attempts, did reign as president for life. He was still President when he died in 1971 and was immediately replaced by his son Jean-Claude Duvalier, nicknamed Baby Doc. Baby Doc assumed the “presidency” at the age of 19, making him the youngest president in world history. Jean-Claude tried to reign back some of the harsher policies of his father, but was still deposed in a popular uprising in 1986 and forced to step down and flee the country. Haiti would then fall under the rule of its military for a brief time and then had a series of bad elections and even more coups. There was a coup in June of 1988, another in September of 1988, and a third one in September of 1991. The US would send troops in under Operation Uphold Democracy to try and bring some stability to Haiti. Though, as is always the case when the US tries to bring free market reforms and “democracy” to a country they did a shitty job of it.  Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who had been elected president in 1990 and had been deposed in the 1991 coup returned to finish out his term, lost in 1995, but was reelected again in the year 2000. He would then be deposed AGAIN in 2004 in another coup d'etat.  One of Aristide's worst decisions while in office was when he outlawed pro-Duvalier militias like the Macoute, but he also ordered the disbandment of the Haitian Army. So the Army disbanded, but never disarmed and just would up forming or joining various militia groups. From 1994 to 2004, a de facto anti-Arisitide insurgency took place in Port-au-Prince, as ex-soldiers attacked the government. In response to the chaos, youth set up self-defense groups, called chimères, which were supported by the police and the government to shore up its position. Receiving de facto state support from Aristide's Fanmi Lavalas party, the youth gangs took control of entire communes and became increasingly independent-minded. U.S. diplomat Daniel Lewis Foote argued, "Aristide started [the gangs] on purpose in the early 1980s, as a voice, as a way to get some power [for ordinary Hatians], [...] and they morphed over the years." Now, the precise nature of the events of the 2004 coup are disputed; some, including Aristide and his bodyguard, Franz Gabriel, stated that he was the victim of a "new coup d'état or modern kidnapping" by U.S. forces. These charges were denied by the US government. As political violence and crime continued to grow, a United Nations Stabilisation Mission (MINUSTAH) was brought in to maintain order. However, MINUSTAH proved controversial, since their periodically heavy-handed approach to maintaining law and order and several instances of abuses, including the alleged sexual abuse of civilians, provoked resentment and distrust among ordinary Haitians. So now Haiti has no standing army, armed militias and gangs fighting on and off in the streets, an UN peacekeeping mission sexually abusing civilians and they're about to be hit with a Magnitude 7 earthquake. On 12 January 2010, at 4:53 pm local time, Haiti was struck by a magnitude-7.0 earthquake. This was the country's most severe earthquake in over 200 years. The earthquake was reported to have left between 160,000 and 300,000 people dead and up to 1.6 million homeless, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters ever recorded. It is also one of the deadliest earthquakes ever recorded. The situation was exacerbated by a subsequent massive cholera outbreak that was triggered when cholera-infected waste from a United Nations peacekeeping station contaminated the country's main river, the Artibonite. In 2017, it was reported that roughly 10,000 Haitians had died and nearly a million had been made ill. After years of denial, the United Nations apologized in 2016, but as of 2017, they have refused to acknowledge fault, thus avoiding financial responsibility. And now, we're at the Haitian Gang War. The Vox journalist Ellen Ioanes summarized the beginnings of the situation quite well: "Haiti has faced serious and compounding crises, including a devastating 2010 earthquake, floods, cholera outbreaks, hurricanes, and corrupt, dictatorial, and incompetent leaders". Gangs stepped into the power vacuum, seizing political power through co-operative politicians and economic control through protection rackets, kidnappings and murders. As of 2022 researchers form the NGO Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime have estimated that there are some 200 gangs in Haiti and that most of them are set up somewhere in Port au-Prince. Sexual violence from members of these gangs is a common crime being committed nearly daily against people from rival gang territories. Rape only became a crime in Haiti in 2005 and abortion is still illegal, so rape victims are legally required to keep those children. Though as we know, making abortion illegal doesn't stop abortions, it just stops safe ones. One of the most powerful gangs in Haiti at this time is, technically, an alliance of gangs, called the G9 alliance is lead by a former police officer named Jimmy Chérizier, nicknamed Barbecue. G9 is based in the capital's communes of Delmas, Pétion-Ville and parts of Carrefour. The G9 alliance includes many former soldiers and policemen in its ranks and was long connected to the PHTK party (which is a Center-Right political party) until distancing itself after Ariel Henry became president. The G9 now portrays itself as a revolutionary organization, and has begun to create a nation-wide alliance network dubbed "G20". Since the coalition was founded, it has been responsible for multiple massacres against civilians and clashes with other rival gangs. From 2020 to 2021, the G9 was responsible for a dozen massacres, in which at least 200 people were killed. The G9 was believed to have had close ties to the government of Moïse, which was accused of large-scale corruption. The coalition members frequently evaded prosecution after the massacres and the clashes. Chérizier stood out in that regard because despite the arrest warrants against him, he continued to move freely and to maintain an active presence on social media with no effective attempts by Haitian government forces to arrest him. The G9 also began attacking neighborhoods in which civilians protested against the president and started clashes against rival gangs with the support of the police. Now, in 2021 Jovenel Moïse, the 43rd president of Haiti was assassinated and then Ariel Henry (who some suspect to be involved in the assassination) served as acting Prime Minister of the country until he stepped down this past April. Henry's removal from power was long sought by the G9 gang alliance. Cherizier had this to say on the issue in March 2024 "If Ariel Henry doesn't resign, if the international community continues to support him, we'll be heading straight for a civil war that will lead to genocide"  "Either Haiti becomes a paradise or a hell for all of us. It's out of the question for a small group of rich people living in big hotels to decide the fate of people living in working-class neighborhoods," he added. Now, while there are over 200 gangs in Haiti at the moment most of them have allied themselves with the G9 alliance, or with the gang alliance that popped up to oppose the G9, known as G-Pep. But also, as of late 2022 an anti-gang bwa kale vigilante movement emerged to attack and kill any gang members. The vigilantes often burned captured gang members alive. Of course, the gangs responded with counter attacks against both the vigilantes and anyone who expressed support of the vigilanties. By mid-2023, the gang war between G9 and G-Pep continued unabated, and the resistance by anti-gang vigilantes also grew in scope. Thousands of people were displaced by the clashes. The severity of the ongoing gang war in Haiti has led to the United Nations Security Council authorizing a one-year deployment of an international force led by Kenya to help the Haitian government deal with the crisis. Chérizier declared that G9 would resist if an international intervention force committed "human rights abuses" and claimed that it would "be a fight of the Haitian people to save the dignity of our country." Despite the horrors he is committing against his own people Cherizier really and truly believes that he is fighting on behalf of a free Haiti. There isn't a genocide in Haiti, as of yet, but there is a massive civil war between militias and gangs with human rights abuses on all sides of this conflict. On 18 June 2024, the International Organization for Migration reported that more than 580,000 people have been displaced by the increased violence in Haiti since March of 2024. The report also warned that since most of the people displaced have been from communities already struggling with poor social conditions, there may be more tension and violence in the coming days. An international policing force, known as Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti was authorized under UN Resolution 2699 on October 2, 2023 to assist the Haitian National Police in stopping this gang war. Nations who will be taking place in this mission include Antigua and Barbuda, Bangladesh, Barbados, Benin, Chad, Guyana, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Dominica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Jamaica, Kenya, Suriname, and the Bahamas. The first deployment of 400 troops from Kenya has officially put boots on the ground as of June 25, 2024.  This ongoing gang war will not be resolved anytime soon and it can, and will, get worse before it gets better. Haiti has never had a chance to build a stable society or government. A long and ongoing history of foreign interference, ceaseless coups and natural disasters mean that Haiti has always been on the back foot. We also have to take into account Haiti's natural resources, because that's the only reason any imperial power would ever care about Haiti. According to WorldAtlas.com, recent findings suggest that Haiti might have some of the largest oil reserves in the world, potentially larger than those of Venezuela. The country is estimated to be sitting on about 159 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 142 million barrels of oil, with undiscovered reserves possibly holding up to 941 million barrels of crude oil and about 1.2 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. According the the State Department the US doesn't currently have plans to send troops to Haiti. I'm sure that will change. That's it for this week folks.

How to stop the slide in the Americas' poorest nation? The last time this show put the spotlight on Haiti was nearly three months ago. The capital had been overrun by gangs who'd banded together against prime minister Ariel Henry who had just secured a deal to deploy a Kenyan-led international police force. With the presidency vacant since the 2021 assassination of Jovenel Moise, the unelected Henry has since handed over power to a collegial Transitional National Council but the gangs have extended their chokehold on Haiti and the deployment of police remains on hold.Coming up, our exclusive report into how the Caribbean state is coping and how to bring back law and order – sometimes block by block - to a capital that is estimated to be 80-percent controlled by armed groups and avoid the failures of past international missions there. Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Juliette Brown.

Haiti has been in a state of political uncertainty since its president, Jovenel Moïse, was assassinated two years ago. Ariel Henry assumed power with the backing of the US – but not of most Haitians – and promptly suspended elections. Competing gangs jockeyed for political power, and have seized control of the capital city Port-au-Prince. The proposed solution – a United Nations security mission led by Kenya and a US-backed transitional government that lacks domestic legitimacy – threatens to recreate the mistakes of the past. In this episode of None Of The Above, the Institute for Global Affairs' Mark Hannah sits down with Dan Foote, who was America's special envoy for Haiti until he resigned in protest of US policy there. They discuss the island's recent history, the role of international intervention, and the urgent need to rebuild Haitians' trust in their democracy.

Gretchen Sisson then joins, first walking through extensive research she conducted with women who have relinquished children to the private adoption system, exploring how and why they make the decision, and how they reflect on the process some years later. Next, Sisson walks Emma through the myth of the relationship between abortion and adoption, and the reality of a distinct divide between those who seek the two options, alongside the myth of a “high supply” in the adoption market, with (once again) the inverse seeing many adoption clinics closing due to a lack of available children for adoption. Expanding on this, Gretchen explores how the “market” influence of the adoption industry shapes a largely coercive and exploitative relationship between adoption agencies and women who would often prefer to keep their children, a relationship that is largely reflective of the industry's roots in the family separation projects practiced against Indigenous and Black communities in the US. After touching on the major role that major Christian religious institutions have played throughout the history of the private adoption industry, and the relationship between private adoption and the foster care system, Emma and Gretchen wrap up the interview with an exploration of how many mothers come to feel very critical of the adoption system and how it failed both them and their child. Professor Ryan Doerfler and Emma then look to the long history of non-compliance – and even outright defiance – in the face of Supreme Court rulings considered unjust, with Professor Doerfler walking us through the more extreme precedents set by the presidencies of Abraham Lincoln and FDR to issue direct challenges to the court, alongside the much more recent tradition of administrative non-compliance or policy loopholes as seen in the fights for affirmative action, student loan forgiveness, and more. After stepping back to look at the myth of Marbury v. Madison's role in legitimizing judicial activism – a tactic that the Supreme Court would not truly take on until the Civil War era, Professor Doerfler explores how the conversation around the ever-changing scope of the Supreme Court became isolated from the public to solely and intra-governmental affair over the second half of the 20th Century, in a weird conflation of the rule of law and the rule of the courts. Ryan and Emma look at the current era of backlash to the Supreme Court, from the Hobbs decision to attacks on the administrative state, and what we can do to get Democrats to start fighting back, before wrapping up with a brief conversation on the stunning bravery of anti-war student activists at Harvard and across the US. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt Binder as they watch Channel 4's interview with an anonymous IDF member on the prevailing perspectives within Israel's military, also diving into the continuing wave of student protests against Israel's genocide in Gaza, and the violent police repression seen at UT Austin, USC, and Emory that has continued the parallels with the 1960s anti-war movement on campuses like Kent State. They also dive into the continuing smears against students from both Netanyahu and the ADL alike, and watch Edward Said attempt to grapple with the same double standards some four decades ago.

En marzo colapsó Puerto Príncipe, la capital haitiana. Las pandillas incendiaron decenas de estaciones de policía, asaltaron la mayor cárcel del país, intentaron tomar el aeropuerto y atacaron el Palacio Presidencial. Esta ola de violencia, inédita en términos de coordinación entre grupos criminales, derivó en la renuncia del primer ministro, Ariel Henry. Haití es hoy un país sin Estado, que sobrevive como puede, mientras sus habitantes esperan a que se forme un nuevo gobierno. En este episodio, la periodista colombo-haitiana Sandrine Exil nos cuenta cómo la situación en Puerto Príncipe ha dado un giro de 180 grados en menos de un año.

Haiti is in crisis. As armed groups come together and storm the island nation's institutions, leading to mass prison breaks, U.S.-backed Prime Minister Ariel Henry – who was abroad at the time, desperately trying to negotiate some kind of foreign intervention – has resigned.Henry's departure has left a power vacuum on the island. Will an alliance of armed groups seize power in a revolution? Will factions of the old government hang on? Or will the United States intervene to reassert control over the Caribbean nation?On today's MintCast, Jake Johnston joins Alan MacLeod to discuss the turbulent situation in Haiti. Johnston is Senior Research Associate at the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) in Washington, D.C. He is the lead author for CEPR's Haiti: Relief and Reconstruction Watch blog and author of the book, “Aid State: Elite Panic, Disaster Capitalism, and the Battle to Control Haiti.”Henry, Johnston said, has faced a “legitimacy crisis from day one.” Firstly, he was named prime minister in July 2021, just two days before the assassination of dictatorial president Jovenel Moïse. Secondly, many Haitians have never accepted the way he came to rule, either. Many in the West are now openly calling for another U.S.-led intervention on the Caribbean island nation. “This time, Haiti really is on the brink. The US and UN must act to restore order,” wrote the influential think tank Chatham House. Meanwhile, The Washington Post called for a more “robust” and “broader” intervention than the one the UN has suggested, which could see American boots on the ground for the third time in 30 years.But far from paying debts to Haitians, the current government in Washington D.C. is concentrating on stopping Haitian immigration and is reportedly even considering using its notorious detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to lock up Haitian migrants and refugees.The United States has an extremely long history of torturing Haiti. From refusing to recognize its independence for decades to invading and occupying it for two decades in the early twentieth century to supporting dictators and organizing coups on the island, Haiti's current predicament is, in no small part, down to Washington.Today, MacLeod and Johnston discuss the history, present and future of American imperialism in Haiti and what Haiti's future looks Support the showMintPress News is a fiercely independent.

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam breaks down the biggest headlines of the day. But first, Sam speaks with Brian Concannon, human rights lawyer and executive director of the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti (IJDH), to discuss the ongoing political instability in Haiti. First, Sam runs through updates on Biden's response to Trump's calls for cuts to entitlements, Netanyahu-Biden relations, dissent for the US's support for Israeli, aid to Gaza, the US economy, the 2024 election, Biden's age, the RNC, the NLRB v. Trader Joe's, and Indian fascism, before diving into the testimony from Special Counsel Robert Hur on Biden's age. Brian Concannon then joins, diving right into Haiti's history as one of the few successful anti-colonial revolutions and why the West has never forgiven them for that, exploring the reparations Haiti was forced to pay to France for their slaves, and the ongoing neocolonial domination from the US. Expanding on this latter point, Concannon walks through the evolution of Haitian politics in the wake of Jovenel Moïse's attempt to cling to power with US backing despite finishing his term as President, and the eventual successful attempt by the US to install Western-backed candidate Ariel Henry in the wake of Moïse's assassination, tackling what mechanisms US and the west use to prop up Henry's Presidency, including diplomatic and financial support from key international institutions, and how the US has shot down any attempt from the Haitian population to present alternative or even semi-democratic visions. After briefly touching on the US' long neocolonial objections to a democratic or progressive Haitian government, and the growing pressure for anti-colonial reparations, Sam and Brian parse through the US' ongoing attempt to install a foreign military presence in Haiti to back Henry's regime, touching on the myriad objections they've received from propositioned militaries, and why the US is positioning it as an ultimatum if Haiti wants to step towards new, democratic elections. Sam also walks through the Biden administration's response to Donald Trump's threat to cut Medicare and social security, Ben Shapiro proving, once again, that he doesn't know what he's talking about, and ongoing attempts to get Biden to condition military aid to Israel, before wrapping up with a brief assessment of the Netanyahu regime amid growing backlash to Israel's occupation of Palestine. And in the Fun Half: Sam discusses his recent appearance with Hasan Piker, parses through the mystery of Biden's State of the Union doping scandal with some experienced help from Jesse Watters, and Charlie Kirk ponders the threat of RFK to Donald Trump.
