we all living in constant fear. when you go on the street, you see that people off right now, because as i said, you know, when you, when you leave home, if you will about to, if you will be able to, to get back. because you don't know if you won't get to nap on the street and a lot of people have left the country as well. we don't, we don't know exactly how many people left, but a lot of people are leaving because they can't believe anymore in the country. and those who are not living oh, planing on on, on, on living. and for, for the last 2 years, as will you have getting anywhere supportive rent, it's around the may by getting death or that house better, deadlier weapons in the police. so we just, we just tried and we were just afraid, this is
7:40 am
a gang battle that the government appears to be losing john junior as your senior advisor, to the prime minister. what if you think current situation, how is he able to help patients on the ground? well, the am now in the police unit, there are some good police officers. laws who are not all in one are very proud to be police officers. those were very good police officers, they did, they did is on were jobs and the even stop are sudden, kinda bangs the they, they went to are, may need for the boards were the guns are an and current lead the been, are arresting and having defending as the population is sir, and also one thing that was as is that is clear hades, not part of rance, what was his unaided either. so we are of 10 departments and the way now currently people go to the north. they actually over even there is,
7:41 am
are turning social media. it even said are some alters in an off or are not our sold out. so understanding the capital dog situation that are very, very difficult. but to go remedies is irving. i've been sticking this very seriously. and the been meeting we for the polish renee's, we're for to swap teams to make sure that we have equipment so that we can address a situation and up accordingly. you make a point about what to please not being highly job you. felina, please go ahead. i'm sorry, any jumping i'm i just want to clarify something from wiser. gina? you see? yes, haiti is not only what i'm from going 8th and from the not. i haven't been able to make it home tonight, safely. quieting my kids for the past 10 years. there is always something on the web. you're always games on the with your again, see you there against marsha little, you know, the i gains in canal by she,
7:42 am
diesel me so i can not make it up. i was going to go and aid it. my 3 daughter is in, i was pregnant at the time, we got cut into sh schilling, in my call was eat. so yes, haiti is not on the what the violins that we, i see in poor friends. it speaking up in order. see this as well in moving from floor plans to odyssey? this is hale. hey, hawkins has been cut from from the south for more than a year now. well yes, the police, you know, i don't want to be too hot and he's the what is his lou? when the can with the little that the half, what at the same time, it must be said that the police is not doing enough that the justice system is in existence. and the very legal that the police does the few times that the arrest somebody, somebody in the justice system goes right back and put them out again. it's as if the state is fighting against us, the citizen. and when we are saying that,
7:43 am
what else? our book incubation will can go to k, bishan will not was haitian leaving in the country. well, many people from the basque we're trying to find their way home to visit their handling. what, what we were talking about. what is harbor families that we received are gangs of acutely, more than thousands of people, but the thousands of kids that are left often. what are we telling that to them? the courthouse or book in kip asian, that the con, she is not only horace, is that what the government is saying to us? that moved okay. patient because there is more security or, or commission? i don't understand that when i go fix anybody from the government should be seeing that. let me bring some thoughts here from our audience here, watching online, on youtube. can you explain? what is the biggest motivation for the gang violence?
7:44 am
this really helps us go in the direction of then how do you stopping jamison? well, 1st of all, i think it's 1st election. i mean, whenever you talk about election and country, whenever there seem to be ration or election, you will rise out. but it's a link to link to the political situation because the last 2 or 3 years, if you, if you are to believe we boards local organization, local human rights organization, you understand that the game have strong, tight with people in power. so people in power, i'm trying to control the, we're going on. ok rating. so you know, this is, i think that this is the 1st time revision and your economy. because when you to
7:45 am
someone and you ask for you know, hundreds of dollars and then the person needs to be to the, to, to be 3. of course it is a strong patient for them because they, they are making a lot of money with, with that. yeah. that's why i think genia, when we said that we were going to do this program about gang violence in haiti, we all style audience, our community. what needs to happen to stop gang violence was the here on twitter said, i think it always comes back to money. knowing foresman in many countries is corrupt or underfunding, 100 funded, making it easy for them to come to bribes are being captured by gang leaders. if it's no law enforcement, of course these guys will do whatever they feel. there was so many issues. do you find that the on the funding of the police in haiti is not a major issue with controlling the gas? because if the police can't do it, who's going to do it? well, are number one. i, as i said earlier, haiti is not part of france,
7:46 am
but of course he's on haiti and as clear water, i'm clear about you said i didn't mention the 9th and i conversation with you. i was asking about and finding it please. and, and number 2, when you talk about her warfare weapons, haiti is under a mug war for, for the past 20 to 30 years. for some reasons on even under was it that are listed because of the issues referred to, could it are, there was no of it was not easy for haitian governments to of warfare weapons. so the gangs for some reason, they have a huge network where they can have warfare, weapons. and most of those weapons, they conform the u. s. customs from new york custom, they get em petition to haiti and in from the customs in haiti, they got to the gangs. so this huge network, they do have an n is, is now all over all over the country is there is no control over the gangs because
7:47 am
you're talking about a most modern eli gangs organized gangs. so now the thing is, the government from prime minister arreola does in deal with gangs. and at that that is clear, we have in the prime minister that i never sat down with gangs members to actually enable she with them. these are not the current transitional government has never had any negotiations, no relationship with the guns, inherently not at all, not at all. and in those, it was clear. napoleon, assario is said that in many times on, on his speeches and in the premier. so our he doesn't deal of gags and that is clear when are in is sometimes in the social media. he can say it whatever it is he but the trophies he doesn't have of gags saw. so a day have a way to actually find the warfare where friends and de concentra, it's some of them in, in the pony boards, the,
7:48 am
they do kidnappings to whatever they have to do. but we know for sure that they're there to policy units. they need more equipment to deal with this warfare urban warfare situation. he so really that there is a, a popular line of thinking in haiti is that the reason why the gangs are so powerful is because they are allowed to be that powerful. are people misinformed? we are not misinformed, they are allowed to be so powerful and it's the entire system that works. that way . there is an embargo. listen, you just sit it there is an embargo on guns and ammunition in haiti. how in a world can those gangs be better? a quick, they never one out of weapons, they never one out of ammunitions and everything that he's coming to haiti is coming by see, or by the, by god, god, the border with the dominican republic. so war is letting them eat. what in the cover mit is in charge of our borders,
7:49 am
who is in charge on our border with the dominican republic was in charge of the port because that's where the are coming from. they're not coming from the sky. it's not rain, but they never one of weapons and ammunition in whenever there is a gay wars in the d. flint, a member who would likely so lay where there were close to $500.00 people dead in are killed in less than 10 days. then what did the police do? we, i'm not seeing in me armstrong, we're from the government because less make it clear. it's not only the police in haiti that is in charge of our security. there is also what called or csb end. the was the, the count few that is in charge of that would prime minister is the head of so that it was shared responsibility in between the politics and the police. so the
7:50 am
police does not have enough met the or not well trained. and they don't have a wheel because a lot of them could walk. but at the same time, we are not seeing a politic wheel f one, the prime minister. judging your may say that her prime minister is not dealing with gangs. why am i to know if he is dealing with games or not? i am just a normal citizen. will, can see that the gangs always have the upper hand, the in the her 1 o'clock, ammunition or weapons. and this and munitions on weapons are coming by sea by land, and it's the government wheezing charge of making sure that what's getting in the country. okay, not anyway let, let's, let's hear from the advisor to the prime minister, john jeanette. i know that these are not new criticisms of the transitional government. what can you say to reassure haitians that there is
7:51 am
a strategy to beat the gags? ah, a, is there a clear like her currently? oh, this is been on the news that the cost toms in parapro's day actually stopped a big package of warfare weapons that it was coming for it for kennedy church. and currently in part of brain, enough of worst, the actually is seized. so i munitions that, that came from order citizens saw the change of the directors. you know, all of the custodians that i made that i was actually, there was a big, big thing for us, air and bears on that. you can see new weeks coming the are going to be more are seizures of warfare weapons at the costumes, because i was very and i said earlier, it's cleared out to be in the those guys in, in, in the pool newborn did not have probably did do not fabricate that warfare.
7:52 am
weapons did the number of did it up. a factory of, of munitions, dumb in that for some reasons. e off of course government, i mean, is thinking about is strategic. but we have to, in your think about the strategy, but do you have a strategy, a just be quite rating it and for me, okay, one is a terrible about 18 inches. how i don't feel couple of thought the yet will you one single. he was watching nothing. okay. all right. this is adam. is a step by step. nothing can be done in one day. it's a step by step. they changed her, the director of the cost arms way. now. currently they've been actually seizing some warfare weapons. and in day of talk massively currently day day they actually are in went to another west, i'm sorry, has been arrested. i. he seizing that when you should. you should listen again to the ones who are arrested as well. oh galena. oh,
7:53 am
i thought it was okay. and are you gonna? no, i want to be able to be quite constructive. healing really answered. and i gave you one second, john, julia. now i'm taking that 2nd back, let me take it back because i'm gonna involved with our audience. gotcha. and she said something i need to court. she's a, was arrested, not right now. there are people in jails were involved, were involved in the catholic church or input of weapons in war for herb once. and she knows that civilian annasae, of washing ordered pair, whenever it was arrested, was really isn't in process. and you know, you have to, you doesn't worry, you know, some artists important them where her was arrested, got to be legal. and that is the problem. impunity is the only take a pause or they were, you know, part of this, the realization, and i will deliver that john junior. please take a pause for nina. please take a pause from our audience. this is what they're saying. catherine jobs, jobs, jobs,
7:54 am
social services. they should be provided by foreign countries and run and profited profits by haitians. this idea that haiti needs outside assistance is not a new one. i won't have a listen to the managing editor of the haitian times. this is what she told us a few hours ago. so let me know again. so you story and he, you know, they are backed by different government entities or people, economic interests to protect. and so when we understand that context, it's really important to know that the haitian government, the current administration, is not in a position to really do much. so that's why in this situation, we kind on the international community to help get 80 hours, emergency situation. this goes beyond like 80 lead solution or
7:55 am
political no problem solving that we're, we're talking about. this is patients in haiti, people who need to live because these games are, are killing them. i'm going to show you the united nations operation. integrated office in haiti is known as been new and video even recently complained about the gang violence. let me just go to the translation question here. be new cause on, on individuals to immediately stop the acts of finance to allow free passage to the medical emergency services and encourages the national thought is to ensure the protection of the civilian population. this is international help that is available . it's a haiti, but is it walk in? john junior? is this enough? is it again? i was, i was reading the twitter, but i was not paying attention to what was the question, can you please or this international help venue is in haiti right now.
7:56 am
how helpful is the united nations to haiti's situation with gang violence where civilians are scared to leave the homes in some part the haiti her as you probably of her read. oh yes. the yeah. when edition of american states, they sent a note like on monday saying that our minister left 80 and now we are, we're been here in the where they put the notice like they are blaming themselves. so in a government with thank. we believe that in our we can, we can actually, we activate the, a strong diplomacy to move. so that the situation that we are right now can be solved by the entire, like, like a collectivity. because we're not gonna say that we were gonna give solution to ourselves because the meanest i was there, of course, i mean not a left in our there, there was a been, you be knew, you know, is not vote in that perfect. but that we,
7:57 am
we can see that there isn't any chevy question with our villain if i may. because of course, your advisor to the prime minister. you can't say anything critical about the new if they are trying to help the current administration really. and if you're going to be absolutely honest and candid about the un in haiti, how, how 4 are they? in this current situation, we can balance. i'm going to see that the international community is not innocent into what's happening in here. most of what's happening in the most of the situation that we are going to in haiti is their responsibility. and they should take full responsibility for putting us in that sheets we, she, the u. n. as we present in here for the past 15 years. they have spent billions of $1.01 billions of dollars. when they left, we had the kola. we had the rips, we had the keys with us, father, and we, we had the gang violence. we had many more kids watch war, gainesville,
