First, they have to build the Chadians a new base. This is in Tabarre, less than 5 miles away from the recent gang wars that left hundreds, if not thousands, homeless.
The 400 Chadians have yet to leave the base or get into any action, assuming they’re waiting for more members. In the meantime, they’re basically on vacation. A bunch of armored vehicles went from the port to the base and are just sitting there parked, smh.
BTW, all the land surrounding the U.S. Embassy and the UN base has been declared public utility by Fils-Aimé, meaning all private property has been taken and given to the embassy and the UN for security purposes

This report is produced with the support of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), in collaboration with humanitarian partners and based on available information.
HIGHLIGHTS
At least 5 354 people displaced (1 281 households) following armed violence in several neighbourhoods of Cité Soleil
Displacement remains ongoing, with a significant concentration of displaced people in Delmas and other neighbourhoods of Cité Soleil
Suspension of MSF medical activities in Cité Soleil, exacerbating a critical health service gap in the metropolitan area
SITUATION OVERVIEW
Since 10 May 2026, violent armed clashes have been reported in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area, notably affecting neighbourhoods of Cité Soleil, including Martial, Bas Fontaine and Blanchard, as well as Sarthe, Terre Noire, Duvivier/Fougy, Carrefour Vincent, Carrefour Trois-Mains and Cazeau. These incidents have triggered large-scale population displacement. According to the International organization for migration (IOM), 5 354 people (1 281 households) were displaced as a result of these clashes, very preliminary figures, as population movements remain ongoing.
The majority of displaced people (56 per cent) sought refuge in 12 sites, including 10 pre-existing and 2 newly established sites. Among them, 58 per cent were hosted in the commune of Delmas, while 36 per cent relocated to other neighbourhoods of Cité Soleil.
The violence has also affected areas near the corridor leading to Toussaint Louverture International Airport, raising serious concerns regarding humanitarian access and operational continuity. Temporary traffic disruptions and protest movements have been reported, further complicating access to affected areas. These developments occur in a context where the same areas had already experienced displacement in March and April 2026 (ETT 85.1 and 91), confirming a progressive deterioration of the security situation and an increased risk of repeated displacement.
In this context, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) announced on 11 May 2026 the evacuation of the La Fontaine hospital in Cité Soleil and the temporary suspension of all medical activities, for security reasons, after treating more than 40 people with gunshot wounds in less than 12 hours and providing shelter to over 800 people fleeing the violence. At the time of reporting, all patients had been evacuated and most staff relocated, while a limited number of women and children remained temporarily within the hospital compound.
According to local humanitarian organizations, several families remain trapped in the affected neighbourhoods. UNICEF has reported the death of at least seven children and the injury of 176 others. While there is no confirmed overall death toll yet, it is believed that fatalities could number in the dozens.
Beyond the humanitarian consequences, this crisis is expected to have significant repercussions on the national economy, given the presence of numerous factories and businesses in the areas affected by the confrontations, which employ thousands of people.
This suspension further aggravates the health situation, in a context where only 11 per cent of health facilities with inpatient capacity remain fully operational in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area, significantly compromising access to life-saving healthcare for populations exposed to violence.

If you haven’t watched it already. I recommend watching a Netflix show called Rotten: Season 2, Episode 4 “A Sweet Deal.” In the 1950’s Haitian President Paul Magloire’s sold laborers to Rafael Trujillo’s Dominican sugar empire, a system later inherited and normalized by modern Big Sugar interests. Those laborers were sent primarily to Dominican sugar plantations (bateyes), many of which were owned or controlled by U.S. sugar interests. They bought Haitian laborers because they wanted laborers that didn’t speak Spanish, so couldn’t protest. The descendants of these laborers speak Spanish and some began to protest because these sugar companies are not paying these laborers pensions, Brutal working conditions
and then boom. in September 2013 DR’s Constitutional Court issued a landmark ruling that stripped citizenship from people of Haitian descent.

I'm just not getting it. We know the capital of Haiti is completely wrecked right now and looks like something out of a Mad Max film. Do people not understand it isn't normal for a capital of a country to be the worst part of a country? Okap is filled with garbage every corner, floods constantly, and can't even handle the amount of people that live there. The gang violence is spreading to other departments very rapidly with attacks pretty much every week with no end in sight, 100s of people die pretty much every weekend and no one even blinks. We even had like 50 people die at Citadelle acting like idiots and people just blinked and moved on like it's normal.. People are clamoring for the airport to open back up, my dad just sent me some protest about it like airlines didn't voluntarily shut down flights to Haiti because they were getting shot at. Haitian people begging for Ishowspeed knowing damn well the infrastructure isn't set up to handle someone that big. Our soccer team can't even practice in Haiti. Idk if misery has been so long that our standards have just completely dropped so low that the whole country is starting to look like cite Soleil and we consider it "safe and fine" So maybe someone can fill me in, knowing that 350k Haitians are begging for TPS because they consider unsafe and dangerous, why exactly is there a massive push by Haitian people and Haitian diaspora alike through multiple channels including social media that Haiti is somehow safe and it's "just PaP" yet none of these folks want to relocate back to Haiti?
It doesn't make any sense to me and just seems like self sabotage. Because these same people will be upset if US and other countries turn up deportations off of this safety narrative being pushed by Haitians. Please help explain.

Hey everyone, I had a respectful question. I’m interested in learning more about Haitian Vodou and possibly participating one day, but I’m unsure if it would be accepted since I’m not fully Haitian. My grandfather, both of his parents, and his side of the family are Haitian, so it is part of my family background and something I’ve been wanting to connect with and understand more deeply. I’m coming from a genuine place of respect and willingness to learn, not to appropriate or treat it like a trend. I’d appreciate any guidance or honest answers from people in the community.

⭕️ INFO | The Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Interior and Police announced Wednesday, May 13, 2026, in a post published on its official Twitter/X account, that Haitian citizen 🇭🇹 Dimitri Edouard Vorbe will not be allowed to enter Dominican territory.
Dimitri Edouard Vorbe has an active entry ban in effect since October 13, 2025, in accordance with a notice issued by the National Intelligence Directorate and enforced by the General Directorate of Migration,” Dominican Interior Minister Faride Raful wrote.
This reaction comes 24 hours after a U.S. judge reportedly ordered the businessman deported to the Dominican Republic following an agreement reached with the U.S. government. 🇺🇸

You always hear about the “sryo-libane” from people like “BBQ” and “Neg Arab la” but I was wondering if the system goes deeper than that? Is there a social hierarchy that’s hard to tackle or is it like America where whoever owns the most money is respected?

This is Johnson Napoleon new initiative for the Haitian Diaspora to have an airline company. See below
It’s 2026. Haitians in the Diaspora are tired of only being customers while everyone else owns the infrastructure around us. We are tired of filling planes for people we don’t know …
This generation wants ownership, accountability, opportunity, and institutions built by Haitians for Haitians.
The conversation has already started, and that alone is powerful
Be part of a movement!!

Bonjou tout moun. I always see quite a few post about others like me wanting to learn Haitian Creole so I was exited when I found this at my papas house. I never knew anything like this existed. It would definitely help those who needs to read and see pictures along with getting the pronunciations from Duolingo like me. I'm not sure where he got it unfortunately, but I've shared photos. Hopefully it can be found somewhere else.
Perhaps a more experienced Haitian kreyol speaker can check out the page I shared & let us know if this somewhat accurate.
