From "Haiti declares state of emergency after double jailbreak allows thousands of inmates to escape/Attack on two prisons comes amid outbreak of violence as PM in Kenya trying to salvage UN-backed security force" (The Guardian).
Those choosing to stay included 18 former Colombian soldiers accused of working as mercenaries in the July 2021 assassination of the then Haitian president, Jovenel Moïse. On Saturday night, several of the Colombians shared a video pleading for their lives. 'Please, please help us,' one of the men... said... 'They are massacring people indiscriminately inside the cells.'...
The Biden administration – which has offered Haiti money and logistical support but steadfastly refused to commit troops to any multinational force – said it was monitoring the rapidly deteriorating security situation with grave concern.
Stéphane Dujarric, a UN spokesperson, said.... “We have been talking for months now about how civilians in Haiti and in Port-au-Prince are basically trapped by gang violence.... Schools are closed, hospitals are not functioning, people are suffering on a daily basis.”

The important question to be asked is:
Are the Clinton investments protected?
John Henry
I hope the govt and the UN are not going to use disproportionate force and that they will provide the escapees with free food and medical care while they are on the lam.
Haiti killed all the white people long ago, which diminished the country's talent pool.
Good thing our border is secure.
Right?
Meanwhile, in the Dominican Republic…
Once Haiti works out the plan for grift as it once did for Clinton and now Ukraine uses; then the money will come from DC.
Granted US ‘asylum’ before they get here, no doubt…
Just when you think Haiti cannot get any worse, they top themselves. I don't even know what is left to say about Haiti or its people. I expect that we'll be seeing a few more boatloads of them floating up to the beaches in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale in the next month.
Anarchy is just a word until it actually happens. It is dramatically overrated in intellectual circles. Existential terror is not freedom.
Even now, we get an example to study. These parts of human nature are not to be ignored. It could happen to you. Really.
Where’s Papa Doc when you need him?
Biden sez: "Surge the Border!"
That's a hell of a headline. At first I'm wondering what exactly the PM of Kenya has to do with prisons in Haiti, but it turns out the PM of Haiti is IN Kenya. But wait, he's in Kenya to get UN support? Isn't the UN in NY? You have to go to a different article to discover that he's there trying to get Kenya to send a peacekeeping force to Haiti. Who's going to pay for that? Haiti sure doesn't seem to have a lot of spare cash handy for something like this and if I was Kenya, I sure wouldn't be sending my people over to Haiti to possibly get killed in a gang war out of the kindness of my heart. Further reading reveals that the folks at the UN have been "talking about" the sad situation in Haiti for months, but apparently that's all they've done. If the PM of Haiti was smart, he'd let it be known that those gangs were routinely "misgendering" the huge number of trans people living in Haiti, and he would get so much help to combat this "outrage" that he wouldn't even believe it.

Not for crime.
Google earth Hispaniola. The demarcation between lush Dominican Republic and brown Haiti is evident. A visual border. The Haitians deforested their country for cookin feul. They are a well and truly fucked country. But bravo to them for overthrowing the whites.
From the article:
"The Biden administration – which has offered Haiti money and logistical support but steadfastly refused to commit troops to any multinational force – said it was monitoring the rapidly deteriorating security situation with grave concern."
...to be followed by a strongly worded letter.
Just like the catch and release in American cities.
Saves money by not spending it on prosecution/incarceration.
Any one here have a ballpark of cost arrest, jail, prosecution and incarceration cycle today?
For starters, in 2014, medical treatment for gunshot victim = $52,000 per person.
Work up from there?
50 shades of Obama/Biden/Clinton's ethnic Springs. Good luck, Haiti, and watch your back... black hole... whore h/t NAACP.
Reminds me of Paul in prison. The prison was opened, and they stayed put.
Haiti has among the worst recent history of all countries: too many slaves stuffed into a small area, independence following a slave rebellion, widespread mistrust from all external governments (little investment), and then management by a rotating cast of gangs and juntas.
I doubt than anything other than a strong military government would function in Haiti for more than a few years. We all watched Afghanistan return to its preferred form of tribal/warlord government in an instant when the foreign militaries departed (USSR in the 1980s; USA in 2021).
How long till the 4,000 get US taxpayer funds to travel to the Southern Border and cross in to America? Will they get smart phones... pre-paid debit cards?
Speaking of Haiti...

Garsh. All these thousands of hardened criminal inmates, escaped from prison. Now, let's see. Where would they go to? What would be the closest, most opportunistic destination with open borders, lax security, and a culture of not enforcing laws? And, a bonus: Not yet a sh*thole country, luxurious, safe, and ripe for the picking?
The Democrat experience, reaching out across the seas.
I imagine that Haitian prison is even more horrible than most 3rd world prisons.
Note I wonder about those hundred that remain. Why? Is it by choice or were they not able to escape?
Given the massive of the escape I suspect it is choice. If so, think what it says about a society where some prefer prison, no matter how horrible.
John Henry
If 4000 criminals escape4 prison into a country of criminals has there really been an escape?
A UN-backed Hamas in Gaza, in the tradition of UN-backed forces tendered to maintain peace. It's another Spring. Deja vu.

Excess deaths, rape... rape-rape, and civil rights violations in the pursuit of social progress is no ethical vice.
In the old days, the UN used to compete with regional alliances and the US, all of them eager to send in troops in difficult situations, such as that occurring in Haiti. "Our guys can do it" ; "No, you're wimps"; "No, You're violence-loving, militarists." Not now. Not in Sudan, not in Gaza, not in Haiti - nowhere. If a people and a place are messed up, lawless and filled with hatred, the feeling seems to be: they'll have to work out of it on their own. The old solutions have been tried and have worked for some. There's no ideas for the rest.
These third-worlders are so wise.
We have much to learn from them.
It takes a village...
Coming to a sleepy American town near you...
Haitian Migration!
"Haitian Migration!" Great name for a band. I had a friend with a techno group named Asian Prohibition back in the 1990's.
Yes, that's it ! The Biden Migrants in the Haitian Migration ! ! Sounds like some of that pre-fight trash talk that Mohammed Ali would come up with, and Howard Cosell would repeat on camera during the interview.
Think how bad Haiti is: poverty, corruption, the occasional hurricane.
Now add 4,000 escaped criminals.
Spiffy.
Anarchy? How can you tell before or after? I've been to Haiti, twice. Once during an attempted coup against Papa Doc. A gunboat was shelling the Palais Nationale, the Haitian White House. In all my life I've never seen such squalor, corruption, and disarray. And things have only gotten worse. A once beautiful land has been denuded of vegetation to meet the need for firewood without paying for charcoal. While a prosperous and successful country sits on the other side of the island. Politics and law are corrupted. Rules don't exist, only violence. No distinction is made between economic success and corruption, so ordinary Haitians who can, flee. At some point, it's necessary to recognize the destructive nature of the Haitian culture that no Western aid or intervention can cure. Claudine Gay can't even muster enough interest in plagiarizing someone else's concern.

Not long at all, if they're loaded on aircraft for immediate delivery to the destination of the Administration's choice.
Biden’s DHS let 200,000 illegal immigrants fly directly into 43 cities (Washington Examiner, by way of MSN)
