Video: Haitians Rioting, Claiming Haiti As A US Territory

Video: Haitians Rioting, Claiming Haiti As A US Territory
Tuesday March 09, 2010 09:38 AM ET

I was just made aware of the CNN iReport video showing a Haitian Riot in the streets of Les Cayes Haiti. Haitians are waving the American flag, screaming "Obama... Obama..." and literally claiming that they want Haiti to become a territory of the United States.

Nou Pa Bezwen Prezidan... (We don't need a president) They say...

Take a look at the video and you will see and heart the Frustrations of the people of Haiti literally tired of the Haitian leadership and their inability to run the country.

Thank you Jean Michel Daudier for sending me the video link

This Haitian riot happened in the Haitian city of Les Cayes on Feb 12 2010, one month after the Haiti earthquake. Some say they want the assistance of the Haitians in the Diaspora to make it happen.

If you do pay close attention to the people being interview in the video , you realize that there a frustrated with the Haitian leaders. There's even a sign somewhere in the video saying we don't want February, 2010.

It's sad to see this happening in Haiti but what can we say to the people when are standing on the outside looking in?

Acriminal background search may be the method of finding the felony history of an individual.

Legal history checks are routinely carried out before employment is supplied, with an offer of employment getting conditional upon a apparent legal record.

A person's arrest history, incarceration data, and situations of sexual offenses may be discovered via the performance of felony backdrop searches.

Re: Video: Haitians Rioting, Claiming Haiti As A Us...

My name is Lionel Vernet and I live in the beautiful city of Smyrna in the State of Georgia.

I am an Haitian-American.

I am aware of the stubborness of many Haitians when it comes to give Haiti a chance as to allow a developed and civilized country like the USA or Canada to be in charge of Haiti until the People get to acquaint themselves with democracy.

These words I have expressed in 1999 while traveling with some friends by car to Cap-Haitian.

I still believe Haitians are not mature enough to make Haiti what it should have been many years ago. Listen Folks, Haiti 1804 was right.

October 17, 1806 was wrong.

There comes the Haiti Dilema.

We need strong leadership in Haiti.

We don't need no government to negociate with bandits while innocent people are beeing raped, tortured, and killed.

Haiti government system is too corrupted.

We need change.

We won't get it with these Haitians ruling Port-au-prince right now. I could not agree more with my compatriotes of Les Cayes.

Re: Claiming Haiti As A Us Territory

The people of Haiti really have no reason to riot in order to express their gratitude to the United States of America.

We must agree for the first time the people of Haiti, the have nots were treated with respect and as human beings.

We observed in CNN 2 Haitian young men un armed shot down in plain view by an Haitian officer.

The prime minister responded to Anderson Cooper: No we do not shoot down civilians and this matter will be investigated.

Shame on that officer.

What a coward to have waisted a valuable human life over a bag of rice. It's only fair that the people of Haiti should favor good respectful treatment over the harsh and inhumane one they have endured from their own brothers and sisters.

We labeled them restaveck and give them many other names to make them feel inferior.

That must stop. The people of Haiti are expressing their satisfaction of the respectfull way they were treated by the United States Officeers and other aids samaritans who came to their rescue.

Any president would have been right there with the people hands and knees side by side helping them to remove bodies.

Where were the government officials?

I echoe the people of Haiti's plea for a better or a better cahnce to pursue a good life. May God bless them always!

The Haitian Constitution Blocks Haitians Abroad From Politics

You are right but Haitians living abroad are treated like foreigners.

The Haitian constitution, as I understand it, prevents Haitians living abroad from entering public service.

In order for Haitians living outside to change Haiti politically, changes have to be made from the inside.

In the United States, we do have many Haitian and Haitian-American judges, mayors, state representatives, and even corporate executives.

How can they be involved legally and bring change to Haiti if the constitution of the land becomes a road block?

Re: Why Haitians Depend On Another Country To Govern

Thanks for your reply.

I agree that the Haitians government have fail people and that it is so true in many ways. I think the reason for that is because they don't care at all for the country, they only care for their pocket and their own interest.

I believe that there are Haitians people all over the world who knows how other country are functioning.

Haitians even hold high power job in other country.

They should apply their knowledge to take charge of their own country.

There are people who care for the country and should be given a chance to restored it.

Thank you.

Re: Why Haitians Depend On Another Country To Govern

You ask "Why do Haitians have to depend on another country to govern them?"

THe reason is simple:

80% of the Haitian population is unemployed and desperate and they do not think that they have a government FOR THE PEOPLE.

As proud as they may be, the leaders have failed.

Give they jobs and they will become world class citizens.
