The beleaguered nation of Haiti which is already grappling with political and humanitarian crises, is now being consumed by escalating gang violence. The situation has reached unprecedented levels with powerful gangs attacking key targets, including prisons.
The most notorious gang leader -a former police officer- has called for ‘liberation’ while alliances among =the =gangs have been shifting rapidly. This has led to the declaration of a state of emergency after gangs stormed two prisons and freed thousands of inmates.
The violence has forced the closure of banks, schools, and government =agencies. The gangs now control approximately 80% of the capital, Port au Prince, according to the United Nations.
The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime released a report last month highlighting the increasing power of these gangs. The report found that violence is part of well-defined strategies designed to subjugate populations and expand territorial control.
I do hope we put restrictions on people coming to Dominica. It’s true we cannot tell the good from the bad, But we have to take a good look at the ones that we are letting in.
Hussey, how could the government check who’s coming in from Haiti when the majority of them are coming in through the open Backdoor? And how many more people can Dominica afford to take in? We already have much more Haitians here than Dominica citizens. If you are so concerned about whoever coming in then you will have to talk to your friend Roosevelt about that. Maybe he’ll listen to you; but I doubt it. I see that you are beginning to see the light.
This is what happens when corruption is allowed to continue out of control. Dominicans take heed.
Corruption on the part of those countries that created chaos in Haiti for one reason only. We have figure that out. That’s why those countries have used from papa Doc to baby Doc to removing the other guy and erecting the current fella, just so you think it’s the Haitian People. But it’s all smoke and mirrors.

@Lin Clown
You comment is pure crap coming from a clownish illiterate. Stop sidetracking the issues affecting Dominica. You are exiled, stay in exile. Let the hard workingbpeople of Salisbury enjoy their independence.
Go to school.
Send SSU with Lincoln Corbett at lead. send some of the best we have in special branch and RSS. They had strength on Salisbury people. where are the brave men that have force on thier own people in dominica. Go show what yall made of
@Shaka Zulu
Those cowards won’t go. They would rather resign. Their strength is to follow some elderly citizens walking in Roseau on a Wednesday, with camoflage uniform and battlefield weapons. It’s a broken CDPF, with extremely weak leadership.
Alas Haiti, one day you will flourish again. The tables must turn.
