[UNITED NATIONS MIKE WALTZ HAITI] With well over 2,000 Haitians killed in the country by Haiti’s looming gang problem, promoted President Trump’s United Nations Envoy Ambassador Mike Waltz to visit the Caribbean nation earlier this month. In an effort to bring more awareness of the social problem of gang violence in Haiti, Ambassador Mike Waltz took to social media. Also, after his visit to Haiti, Ambassador Mike Waltz applauded the world of the United Nations Gang Suppression Force. Ambassador Mike Waltz stated that he wanted “everyone to understand the fight that is ahead of the Haitian government and the brave men and women who step into these security forces.” The United Nations Gang Suppression Force is an American backed anti-gang initiative that was created to curb gangs and gang violence in Haiti.
With the House Foreign Affairs Committee preparing to have a Congressional Meeting on the status and future of Haiti combined with the upcoming visit of number of members of Congress to Haiti; many geopolitical analysts are wondering if what they report after their visit to the gang ridden county will be enough to change the mind of President Trump who is on the verge of implementing an end to deportation protection for an estimated 300,000 Haitians currently residing in America this Friday. While President Trump has been notably big on cracking down on illegal aliens in America, if he signs off the ending of protection for Haitians in the United States, it will mean a massive influx of Haitians being deported back to Haiti which is currently infested with gang violence.
While the Trump Administration and members of Congress see the violence in Haiti as a possible risk to national security, many people especially the youth in Haiti see the joining of gangs as both a way of life, but a means to survival. It was recently reported that nearly “one in two Haitian gang members is a child”. This translates into at least 50% of the gang members in Haiti being considered children. Again, many youths in Haiti view joining a gang as a means of survival from homelessness, and poverty. It was also reported that an estimated 1.5 million Haitian have been severely impacted by gangs and the violence that accompanies them. Along with the ever-increasing violence in Haiti, kidnapping for ransom has also been on the rise.
Currently it is an overstatement that country wide corruption amongst its political leaders have and is predicted to continue to take place and is viewed as the primary driver for not only Haiti's high rate of poverty, but its high rate of gang violence.
OUR POSITION AT VEDA WORLD NEWS
Honestly there is no solving Haiti's intern problems despite the massive number of Haitians killed and the significantly high number of Haitian gang members. The reason for our claim is because it appears that the world is trying to fix the social ills of Haiti based upon the limited vision of their own perspective. In other words, they are failing to view the perspective of Haitians from their own independent cultural standpoint while trying to inject theirs into a nation of people that are appearing to reject their perspective on how they should operate. Could it be that Haiti as a country is to be considered a failed state like the likes of Libya, Syria, and Rwanda? Should the world stop trying to “fix” Haiti? We’d like to hear from you in the comments.
