both secretary of state and the country's top general, our white house correspondent, kimberly how can looks back now on colin powell, life and career. the news, the colin powell had died of covered complications came as a shock to many. powell had been battling cancer but was fully vaccinated. a sad reminder that the vaccine doesn't always offer full immunity against the disease. immediately the attributes to the retired 4 star general poured in. and i blew surgery palsy years as a soldier, or what made him such an exceptional diplomat. he knew that war and military action should always be a last resort. in a statement you as president joe biden, who powell and doris in the 2020 election called him a good man and a confidant. adding, i will miss being able to call on his wisdom in the future. and racks behavior show

that as secretary of state under president george w bush, powell will be remembered as the person who made the case to the world in 2003 that iraqi leader, saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction. a key justification for the american invasion of iraq. it was a claim he later regretted your to his credit. ah, he was accountable. yeah. he, he admitted you know, his mistakes early or later. ah, that is not something that you we've heard across the bush national security team. on monday. bush issued a statement, pointing out the power was so respected, he earned the presidential medal of freedom twice. powell, a vietnam veteran serv. most of his life in the u. s. military before he entered politics, as the 1st african american secretary of state, he set an example for those who came after him. the senate april,

the 1st black president, brock obama said powell never denied the role that res played in his own life. and to in our society more broadly, but he also refused to accept that race would limit his dreams. he has been my mentor for a number of years. i always make time for me and i can always go to them with what tough issues. colin powell served multiple republican presidents, but later in life endorsed democratic candidates for president. he put duty to country above allegiance to any political party. yet another reason, but in a divided united states, americans from the right and left are honoring the example set by colin powell, orange core bays, a former assistant secretary of defense who worked with colin powell. he told us about the man that you and how he was a role model to many americans. first of all,

he had a wonderful sense of humor. he was always smiling and laughing, and he would see the humor aside. even though some, you know, very serious type of saying he was very smart and he could take complex issues and put them in language that normal people, you know, could, i could, i could understand. he was also a role model because basically he was an african american odd that was serving in the military in the southern part of the united states before in o dbhdd segregation had ended and it was very, very difficult for him to be there. you know, and he handled that. ah, you know, so well. and then of course, vietnam, which was unwinnable, you know, a war he was able to do that and, you know, go get his soldiers through it. so i think you're right. i mean, a lot of people don't know that they only the he came on board a secretary of state, and since the whole iraq war were such a mass,

he got tarnished by it. well of course, his roland invasion of iraq will be one of the main things that colin powell will be with them. but for many iraqis still haven't forgotten his role in that devastating war he, on the man died. but we would not forget what he did to iraq and his wrong policy, which led to, to day he was difficult to handle and did not want the stability of a rock off his failed policy, led to the destruction and to all what befell iraq and he unfortunately took his backwards long as there is a senior political analyst, not one. the shadow says, powell is acknowledged to the mistake in sending us troops into iraq. he said to one journalist that he was sure that his, the, for the 1st paragraph of his obituary would say something about his blunder

with the gulf war in iraq. and so it was today the 1st paragraph in the new york times. and you could say in every possible application in the middle east, especially iraq started with the gulf war because we all know this was the biggest, the buckle of, of the century. and and paula, paula had the role to play both in terms of our marketing the war at the united nations on the basis of false information, false intelligence, which apparently at that time he did not know, but he wasn't exactly sure it was 100 percent. and on the other hand, the fact that this turned out to be a major debacle for what the united states and iraq will tend to be a bloody war. the united states basically plunged in that after when, after mission was accomplished, turning it into a civil war and later on and just basically, tens of thousands of iraqi casualties. hundreds of 1000 and display them and so,

so forth. and he admits himself that when the time came for him to say that the president's no next, not going to iraq, he did not say it. and that's a problem because he thought of himself or was as a soldier 1st, he never really understood what does it mean to be a national security advisor or to be at that the secretary of state of i bet our like the united states where he has a c in the decision making process. when the time came, he behaved like a soldier or being orders, not like a statesman where he would even have to walk away. when the decision, the war took place. the streets of puerto france are uncharacteristically quiet. after unions and organizations called a strike to protest haiti's dire security situation. just a few taxi drivers drove through the capital, looking for customers. many also say that they're angry at the spiraling economic

crisis in the country. the situation for many haitians has become much harder since the assassination of president the issue of an invoice in july, followed by an earthquake that killed more than 2000 people in august. look in in all countries around the world, security is the 1st public. good. it means that when you are in a country which has no social security again, group forces you to move around the kidnap you, the right to your children when we can't eat, it's kind of an insecurity to i support the strike 100 percent for the right for life to change your re barbara going up, we stopped in relation to the economic situation of the country in this country. nothing works for him. it's going badly. the population lives in a situation which they can no longer live. again, we'll have the problem that the children cannot go to school gas problem will grab these problems. take place far too often. ali, now all of us have stopped. lea buggered or the mass action follows the kidnapping

of 17 christian missionaries from an ohio based group. they were taken by a gang on saturday after visiting an orphanage. the u. s. the center team to haiti to help locate and release the 12, the 12 adults and 5 children. now haiti has been struggling with a huge rising kidnappings in recent months with gangs using ransom payments as a source of income. while harold isaac is a journalist that radio kiss sky in hays, he joins me live now from porto prance, sir, thank you so much for joining us here on al jazeera. so in this particular case of the 17 christian missionaries, we're hearing that the u. s. has sent a team to haiti, i guess, trying to get them out. but all the haitians that are also being kidnapped who's coming to help them? well, it's been a reality for these patients for the past 23 years, where gangs have increasingly grown powerful and metropolitan area of

puerto france. ah. so if indeed, the government has been for the most part, unable to answer, it just brought me it slightly. i mean, obviously, that the kid, nothing's all or a symptom of as a general situation in haiti, which is becoming more and more desperate. just talk us through the lack of security that the generally is in the country right now. as it is right now, large swamps of the capital are effectively taken over by armed gangs. the gangs have reach a point where they've federated into the g 9, which is a federation of mine, gangs in the metropolitan area. ah, this is challenging the rule of law and challenging the police along with the government. and then beyond the, i mean what you're paying as a sort of been very difficult security situation. tell us about some of the

shortages when it comes to power, especially that we're hearing is a, a is becoming harder and harder to get in haiti. herald. hi sick. can you hear me? i hear you. yeah. okay. tell us a little bit about some of the other difficulties that people in haiti are facing. so for example, example, shortages of power. yes. and as you can see, it's affecting everything including our communications, our power. ah, but daily life of haitians has increasingly grown difficult over the past 23 years. and as such, the kidnapping is the last straw. leading to this general strike are called by the public transport today that was widely followed. dan, awe is

a desperate plea from the civil population to ask for solutions for all these challenges and all of that worse and obviously with the assassination of the president. and then of course, the earthquake a just a month later, what is it that you think should happen to try to stabilize the situation in the country right now? an easy answer that question a crisis that the country's going through has been years in the making. ah, it is symptomatic of institutional collapse. ah, that there is no legitimate government running this country right now. there is no parliament. there is no justice. a system effectively working. ah, it is not clear what's gonna happen. there are many stakeholders. and, ah, the civil society is trying to bring an acord that would allow for the country to revive the whole system. and try and address saw the systemic problems.

what are people doing their ordinary people doing to keep themselves safe? and in many ways to keep themselves alive. well, just like i did today, a hunkering down, i'm going only for the necessities are going only out for groceries. i am hand there work for the most part, haitian social life. i was taking a big hit with the last few years. ah, where people i've stopped having night lives, or going to the beach. and i such it has transformed patient society. ah, there are just asking for a little bit of hope. in all honesty, harold, i saw a journalist that radio kissed sky inpatient been increasingly difficult to get testimonies out of haiti, so we really appreciate yours. thank you. or coming up on this news i were
