Caribbean leaders are holding an emergency meeting in Jamaica today to discuss the crisis in Haiti, where armed groups are calling for the resignation of unelected Prime Minister Ariel Henry. Haiti is under a state of emergency, with tens of thousands displaced amid the fighting, and United Nations officials warn the country's health system is nearing collapse. Ariel Henry was appointed prime minister after the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, but he is currently stranded outside the country after a trip to Kenya, where he was seeking a U.N.-backed security force to help him maintain power. For more, we speak with Haitian American scholar Jemima Pierre, who says the unrest in Haiti today can be traced to decisions made two decades ago by the United States and other outside powers. "The root of this crisis is not last week, it's not this week, it's not even Ariel Henry. But we have to go back to 2004 with the coup-d'état," says Pierre. She adds that because successive security plans have been sanctioned by the United Nations Security Council, "the whole world is participating in the occupation of Haiti unwittingly."

The US needs to get out of the coup de’ etat business and take care of OUR business!
If others don't provide or gagged up , we won't have all the good we have here
here here. in every country that has this problem we see the US at the core of it. just look at Ukraine too.
Yeah, but is it really 'The US' that wants that, or those that are controlling the US?

Is clear they eagles people's in United Nation's and others narc terrorist system want to do a bridge drugs Haití to Puerto and them to U.S and Canada and Europe too. Haití need urgent The Lord Yahweh Jesús help. We stay in praying.
Let Haitians rule themselves. After hearing this I feel I have a better understanding of why Haiti has been having trouble for so long . The USA needs to stop interfering in other countries .
China engineered this.
What u mean when u said interfering. U mean stop send guns to Haiti. U don't watch the news.

Africans are not fighting! Ruto is poppet he has no experience.
Not like Africans could fight anyways look at that prisoner they let escape from their jail. Smh 🤦♂️
How t.f you gonna fight for Haiti when you can’t even keep one prisoner locked up in your own damn country! 🤦♂️
Many of you feel that Haiti can act independently of America. Not so , mighty America will decide Haiti’s political destiny .
Brother It's international community.
Thanks for that because all the little boy you see with guns they’re not gangs , USA and corrupt politicians, the oligachy bring guns and weapons to them and they have no choice cuz there’s no opportunity for them no food no school and now they turn all the guns against them
She’s very emotional while telling the truth ❤ thank you 🙏🏾 Pierre
Yeah cause it’s our people suffering
She is probably a decent human being

Thank you Professor Pierre and Democracy Now for being one of the few outlets telling the truth about what's going on in Haiti 🇭🇹
They USA did the same to Pakistan by removing out popular elected government when they said no to some of USA demands of total slavery and our country is badly suffering near a collapse like Haiti by using their puppet's inside or maybe one step before what's going on in Haiti.
Never a shortage of smooth brains at dEmOcRaCy nOw?
The reality of the Caribbean is this : Mighty America can destabilize any of us if we step out of line . Like it or not . The flow of weapons from Florida to Haiti is a big problem.

Haiti is an imperialist playground in large part because France still holds grudges over the fact that Haiti gave them their first defeat during the slave trade era. This defeat of their most prided general Napoleon Bonaparte marked the beginning of a succession of defeats they would suffer as a result of losing a major part of their economic power (Haiti). They made Haiti pay them everything Haiti produced in order for them to recognize Haitian independence, which started the nation on an economic back foot, but that didn’t prove to be enough. This is purely my belief, but France (and by de facto, the U.S.) set out to make an example of Haiti to deter other nations from wanting to do the same, but it was too late. At this point it’s just grudge. The weapons in the hands of Haitian gangs are not ones they produced or captured; they are funded and provided on purpose TO further devolve the country into chaos and civil unrest. To prove that they cannot self-govern, and justify future occupation. Future occupation gives imperialists control of any future for the (so-called) independent nation, and free range to exploit its resources unchallenged.
No colonialism which was what they wanted. But....that can be like letting toddlers run your household. Leaves things open for others to swoop in and gain control. Then your own people get carried away with corruption. Hillary C. had no damn business messing with Haiti.

Excuse please...the people are back a few too many generations of dumbed down. Let them learn and grow without more Band-Aid assistance.

From the time of Columbus to now, all nations have come against Hayti, even those that wouldn't even exist were it not for the Haytian people. We, as Haytians, need to stop being so hospitable and take a page from the Sentinelese. Close all borders, close all embassies and expel all diplomats. They are the problem with their neoliberal policies and boomerang aid money. Haytians have already made a choice. Leave us alone.

Facts
@@Elstackobenbey5This is why countries all over the world is joining BRICS 🤔🤨
@@jb2736 The potential impact of a new BRICS currency on the US dollar remains uncertain, with experts debating its potential to challenge the dollar's dominance. However, if a new BRICS currency was to stabilize against the dollar, it could weaken the power of US sanctions, leading to a further decline in the dollar's value.
@@jb2736 Yuuuup. A lot of the world will be playing this too, as soon as they drop the dollar like a hot potato
Liam Gallagher - Shockwave
but yea, their creating their own financial system to avoid sanctions and cut off their need to transact in the US dollar and meddling with foreign governments and constantly being involved in almost every armed conflict on earth led us here. As much as the news tries to play it off like its not a threat i cant help but laugh wondering how they're gonna get themselves out of this one. They messed up BIG time with Russia.
Our gov used our tax dollars, made a fool of themselves, and now they don't know what to do anymore since they cant just use the CIA to kill all leaders who try to get off the dollar like we usually do. They spent too long sticking their hands in the cookie jar and we (the American people, and our government) gonna suffer for it. Seeing my parents country get torn like this though, its hard for me to garner any sympathy. They had this coming for a long time. Only thing to do now is find Jesus
Down with imperialism
You said it before me.....
if it was real imperialism this would not happen stop with the nonsense. This is government/police not able to protect it's citizens. When the gangs are eating , graping and killing women and kids it's not about fighting imperialism they are doing this to they own people. Imperialism by definition is not singular to one country, many countries expand and use military to take control of area's. But are they instilling a democratic government or a dictatorship? Depending on what resources are here if USA and united nations pulls out here other countries will come here to establish control. For the most part here the government/police have failed it's citizens' here when you have gangs brutalizing citizens it's not a revolution or fight against imperialism these are gangs are attacking haitians. They are not attacking the us embassy nor have they been able to overcome it.
Ironically, they all want to come.tonthe evil Empire.
@@joelolwertz5894No they don’t. They are forced to come due to instability fomented by the US and other imperialist countries.

Bitterness over what happened 20 years ago is blinding her to distinguish between right and wrong on the streets of Haiti, and the international response today.
:["Thanks to the Doctor for no insulting the Haitian Patriots by calling them "Gangs". Much love and respect to this queen. We are grateful for your presence."]
Dear Jemima, how old were you when Aristide left in 2004? Genuine question.
I am 43, I was 6 years old when the population shook the country to get rid of Jean Claude Duvalier and I remember a lot of it to this day. Ever since this event, it was coup d’etat after coup d’etat roughly from 1986 to 1991 when Aristide was democratically elected. The Aristide who left after his 1st coup d’etat is not the one who returned with Bill Clinton. It is disingenuous of you to tell the world that the armed gangs are controlled by the elites and bourgeoisie when you must know that it was Aristide who started it. Haiti has been in free fall ever since his return to power, he had his goons, his “chimeres lavalas” to silence the opposition and silence the youth in universities, he had his “ rat pa kaka” in every street corners and neighborhoods terrorizing the population. I don’t think you ever had to reply some stupid insane slogan to be granted passage to your street. Do not paint Aristide like he was some saint, and please stop blaming the world for our shortcomings. Politics are dirty for sure, but the level of corruption in Haiti is on Haitians! Not Americans, Canadians, Brazilians etc…We need to take responsibility for Once. I applaud your research, you need to go further back to give you a full picture.
I'm 53 and I agree 100% with your opinion and assessment... Not sure why Ms Jemima is being intentionally ignorant about history or why she was not questioned about it... Mercí!
@liseagnant4161
How further back do we need to go?
You say Aristide began the practice of arming ‘groups of young men’. Assuming that is true,
how is it disingenuous to say they came under the control of elites/the bourgeoisie?
What did professor Pierre say that painted Aristide as a saint? What’s puzzles me most is how you applaud Jemima’s research and at the same time disagree with her conclusions that outside powers are majorly responsible for the conditions of Haiti today, that you appear to have lived through?
@@alexguerra5741
What history is she intentionally ignorant about?
The history that didn't 'selectively' end before 2004.@@airmat9
The “health system” is not nearing collapse…there hasn’t been a functioning health system is Haiti for years, if not decades now. So, what the hell do they mean by “it’s nearing collapse” anyway?

Professor Jemima Pierre is very intelligent and informed. I thank her for her insight and in depth analysis. The only correction I would make is that the first democratically elected president of Haiti since Francois Duvalier was Dr. Leslie Manigat. Manigat argued that the Haitian military is necessary because it plays an important role in the country. Aristide foolishly dismantled the army, surrounded himself with armed thugs which inevitably led to our situation today.

Excellent reporting. This story is reminiscent of what was done to places like Vietnam, Nicaragua and Guatemala to name a few by the US in the 70’s.
I'm just listening and learning. I pray for Haiti and it's people. I would love to see Haiti become stable in my lifetime. So many thoughts run through my mind. I wish I could say more about the situation but I don't know enough to speak on it but I agree with the person who commented on the common denominator. The same thing is happening worldwide just on a different scale. It's so hard to find a fair leader who is not greedy or is it that internal and external pressure makes for no solution. I always wanted to visit Haiti but I've only seen video of the nation. If my country can spend millions and billions of dollars on war and foreign policies why can't we come up with an agreement to invest in the Haitian people and economy. I can't say whether it's Haitian policies or our policies that are not lining up. I would just love to see peace and harmony everywhere but then I think if there's no war now there will be a bigger one later. Now I'm beginning to understand why our days are numbered. Life comes at you fast. I suppose that a conversation or debate is out of the question. How do adversaries come to an agreement?
_Defeating Dictators_ by Dr. George Ayittey has something to say. First you need "intellectual freedom" which means a free press so the public and intellectuals can discuss problems and their solutions. Then you need an independent electoral commission so there can be free and fair elections. Then an independent judiciary and so on with one reform encouraging more of the same.
I just can’t believe my ears ether Dr Pierre is blind or death or choosing to ignore reality and making theses statements partly true but with some agenda behind; when you ignore all the wrongs that Aristide has done to the country and call Guy Philippe a traitor to Haiti? You need to question yourself and see which side you really are 🤷🏽
@@sandal_thong8631 I like that suggestion and with that being said all of the independent observers would have to remain unbiased/neutral then their policies/solutions would have to be accepted. I'll bet that is easier said than done. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the good of all. Hopefully no one will oppose and I'm out on a limb for that idea/thought.
@@blaisefelix5602 I don't know anything about the details and that's why I won't make a choice. I just wish whoever becomes the leader will treat all the citizens of Haiti right whether they are rich or poor. I do pray for the ones who suffer the most. I just pray that God will heal Haiti. I wish peace and prosperity for every Haitian child, just a different Haiti than the one I'm seeing on the news these days. God bless Haiti.

If he should be tried for “treason” what about the U.S &Frances roll? I highly doubt the Haitian people will agree with that statement the man was literally kidnapped and sent to federal prison in America
How can you blame an outside power for the actions of those inside a country? She told so many non truths in this piece and she was never challenged. Take responsibility lady, wow
When the United States invaded Haiti from 1915-1934 they had the U.S. marines control the Haitian army and they had Americans still left in the Haitian army and the U.S. would organize coups against every Haitian president and would send those armed forces to terrorize the people that would vote against candidates that were pro U.S. interest and rig elections.
We need another voice with a different opinion. But they brought her back for another say on Tuesday.
@anthonyjackson7336 because the outside powers are inside the country. Why ask, if you can challenge the half truths she told, and show outside powers are not culpable?
everything she said is well documented.
@@jamaicanprincess4124 she never gave a reason for any haition to attack other haitions. What did you watch??? Every country has foreign intervention and America has the most foreign intervention but we are not at civil war nor is that an excuse
Very well done! Best interview see. Thats who Haiti needs people that understands what is like
Thank you Professor Pierre for vividly explain the reality of this complicated situation going on in Haiti. Haiti deserves a chance to have its own people choosing its governing body. The people lost trust in the international community. They are leaving without having a life. They know now nobody else but themselves have to fight for themselves.
Caribbean leaders should not bring in the USA and Canada and the french Caribbean countries armies can deal with this u need stay out of Haiti simple
They can't. What about the resources there?
How you think you are living well here
You know everytime i go to a us news reporting they keep talking abt intervention intervention they ignored the fact its their intervention that keep bringing us down,and what we asks for is let us decide what we want for our country and they should stop intervene.
@@yu.3806we have enough resources here trust me.
There is a diplomatic way to do business no need for murder and coups
@@nivisalbathere's a diplomatic way to do business until the president nationalizes unused, foreign owned, land.
Cuba 🇨🇺 and Haití 🇭🇹 are worst countries in the Caribbean
investing requires good experience and knowledge to carry out a good and successful trade, I have lost a lot trying to trade all by myself May I ask which investments are good?......
Considering that I am only three years away from retirement, it becomes challenging for me to solely concentrate on the long-term perspective. Despite having invested in reputable companies and having a significant amount of funds allocated, my profits have been stagnant. This situation raises the question: Does the current recession and unstable market offer any calculated risk opportunities for generating profits?
how do I get in touch with this consultant that assist?
Thanks for the info . Found her website and it really impressive
Thanks for bringing some lights on the actual situation in Haiti. The Core Group needs to acknowledge they are failing the Haitian population. They must switch Gears and let Haitians elect their own leaders. Jude Celestin won!
Since France is invited this should be used as an opportunity to conduct an intervention! France needs to pay back the independence tax and repay all the wealth extracted! And it needs to be done with Francis money, not the ill-gained African money!
LEADERSHIP | Henri, unwelcome in Puerto Rico under FBI protection. Non essential staff of U.S Embassy airlifted out Haiti. Kenyan led force on hold. | Prof. Jemima Pierre : These are paramilitary forces, not gangs, and they are heavily armed. And financed. They call themselves "Live Together".
They are brutal gangs that have been raping, kidnapping people in broad day light under the dicta of the United States. In order to create chaos, to force the people to leave the country, and to beg for foreign intervention.
America needs to worry about America
America is not paid to worry about America. It is paid to worry about the oligarchs.
Indeed - US government worry about yourself - clean up the USA internal mess that you’ve made!
[zoom call]
hmmmm. nah, unfortunately we're too busy sending "aid" to further destabilize foreign governments.
brb, gotta make sure we trace tax the hell out of our citizens while not letting them choose where their tax dollar goes. Would you like to invest in a tent?
Oh, how I love 💕 this young woman Miss Jemima.
If it were morally possible, i would wish the US and all the security council even Kenya, sat this one out completely and watch this situation in Haïti resolve itself. At least that's what the Haitian people seem to want.
Fantastic interview. Very informative. I will be looking up more talks by Jemima Pierre.
I've heard enough from her on this piece and Tuesday's. Get someone else with a different point of view and real solution for Haiti besides anarchy and anti-Western anti-foreign sentiment.
i hope things can get better for all people not worse 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Mrs Pierre God bless you
For speaking the truth
I thank you 🙏🏽
Haiti refuses to be recolonized 💪🏽💪🏽..stay strong!
They will never stand on their own as long as they play the victim and never take responsibility for their own failures.
