Hi, could someone explain what "AKIMY BÈL BÒS" means? Mesi :)
Kaka voye
I was just assigned to work in port-au-prince for 3 days at an embassy. I will be picked up from the airport and later the hotel by armored vehicle and have no need to actually walk around on my own. Still I am a bit concerned about the safety in the hotel and at the airport.
Would the slaves have won their I dependence without their help? Do we know just how much the polish played a role in their independence? I don't want to start bragging only for someone to tell me if it wasn't for the polish we would have never won our freedom.
Some incremental gains but still dangerous. City looks like Gaza
Both DR and Haiti were silently occupied by the US in the early 1900s but only DR plays baseball. Why didn't Haiti also play baseball?
I’m Haitian American and looking to improve my creole. Are there any Haitian media that you would recommend?
I love watching Haitian movies my favs are I love you, Anne and Barriers (I can’t remember if this is the name but it’s about a maid and the son of the house falls in love w her but he’s supposed to be w someone else. It’s ends sad bc they don’t get together). I also love listening to kompa, so any movie and song recommendations would be appreciated.
Also if there’s any YouTubers, TikTok personalities that are comedic, fashion based, serious discussions on like sexuality and gender etc would be appreciated.
Mesi 🙏🏾🙏🏾
It only stops the good people from getting guns to defend themselves. The bad people will still get the weapons. It's so fucking stupid.
The police , FADH, need weapons..weapons that can actually do damage.
Hi guys! I love economics and global development and wanted to learn more about the political system in Haiti. I know that after the Haitian revolution, the french asshole colonisers made the haitian people pay a debt and basically put up high trade barriers against haitian exports which decimated the agricultural sector (which I believe was one of the main GDP contributers) . I wanted a Haitian perspective as to why Haiti is still a LEDC? Is it solely because of those economic factors or is the government terribly managing the people?
(i wanted to learn about these reasons and would love your perspective!- hope I dont come of insensitive, i am also from a previously colonised country which is a LEDC)
I always wonder about our IQ (haitian)as a nation .
Bagay yo grave pase aksan grav.
Si revolisyon mantal la pa fet nou pap soti la .
All I see are posts and comments by non-haiti people
So question is are native haitian living jn Haiti present on the sub?
I’m going to get a lot of hate for this but Toussaint Louverture was a better leader than dessaline.
Just last week 115 people (updated number of casualties) were victims of a gang attack which took place in pont sandé from gang attacks. As this brought great attention to the media and Haitian people; The Haitian National Police backed by Kenyan police looks to regain control of the area and has provided aid to the people of pont sandé
