team, please introduce yourself international audience around the world. tell them who you are and what you did. my renewal it was if i am the middle of the month, and i'm also the for, i mean it's always advisor. i want to start thinking john junior for being with us . i want to start with junior, with jamison and also felina. we asked our camera pass and in port au prince. earlier today to go and talk to people on the street in porter, prince austin, what it was like, living there in the coven security situation. i can see school is going on in the background. there were calls going around people wandering around felina, how furious is the importer prince, in terms of you feeling that you can go about your daily life. there is no life. so it's not serious. there is not life in haiti, business security, various companies. impunity there is corruption or gangs that are killing us.

haitians are dying. we're dying form, gangs, violence. we're dying form kid. nothing. we're dying at sea because we're trying to flee the concrete. go get the better choice. we are dying from hunger. we are dying for an economic situation that is life is a little west and flu. inflation is as high as 29 percent. we are dying from lack of the basics. so we are a dying form of government that isn't quite on silent and inactive. what was happening so there is no life in katie, your goal daily and you try to make do with what you have, what you can, what every day i could get out of your house, you know that you may not come back. so every day you cherish the old woman that you have your family, a bit more keys in your humble kids, the tighter because you may not come back. and even when you make it back home, there is no guarantee that you're not going to die from the street. but will it

right in your living room or in your garden or somebody up nicely ones. it's some cleaner or not. we're not going to come and keep, not you people on quiet citizens or should leave the neighborhoods because again, war. so there is no life in those movies. the life we are surviving. he does or we're doing really i i'm going to bring him jamison hedge. i'm is it, i'm just looking here at the publication that you work with and you have worked with for the past for years is going to have a look at some of these covenant headlines. these women live in cities to lay than the gang started fighting. another story, hair, death, by stray bullets in port au prince. in the past 3 years. what is change with a level of gang violence for haitians? well, i believe, actually, yes. for the last 3 years we are 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 any more in the country. and those who are not leaving all 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 and then the police. so we just, we just tried and we were just afraid. this is 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 some good jobs, and the even stop are sudden, can that bangs the they, they went to are, may need for the boards? were the guns are an and current lead the been, i arresting and having defending as the population is, sir. and also one thing that was, that is clear haiti is not part of rance, but always his unaided either. so we are of 10 departments and the way now, currently people go to the north, they actually over the, even there is our trend in 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 having, i mean, 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 my please not be in your hand, it will be felina, please go ahead. i'm sorry, any jumping i'm, i just want to try something from west virginia. yes. see, yes. haiti is not only what i'm from going 8th. i'm from the north avenue billable to make it home tonight. safely. quieting my kids. for the past 10 years. there is always something underwood. you're always gaze on with. you again. see you there against marson is helene. now die gazing canal by sicily. 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 for rent it speaking up in on 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 hard him to police the what he says, 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 they do 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, what else our book incubation will can go to k bishan will not was haitian leaving

in the country. well, many people from the vast watching to find their way home to visit their handling with what we were talking about. what is harbor families that we received are gangs of acutely widen causes of people, but the thousands of kids that are left often. what are we telling that to them the co counsel book in kip ition that the con, she is not only portraits, is that what the government is saying to us that moved occupation because there is more security to walk 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? this really helps us go in the direction of then how do you stop at jamison?

well, 1st of all, i think it's i'm out of tricity election. i mean, whenever you talk about election and country, whenever there seem to be ration or election, you will rise in. but it's going to make to the political situation. because the last 2 or 3 years, if you, if you are to believe we points from local organization, local human rights organization, you understand that the games have strong tie with people in power. so people in power, i'm trying to sure the, we, we are getting on a bit rating. so this is, i think this is the 1st time revision and economy. because when you to 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 be making a lot of money with them with that. yeah. that's why john junior, 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? melissa, here on twitter, said, i think it always comes back to money knowing forestman in many countries is corrupt or on the funding 100 funded, making it easy for them to come to bribes are being captured by gang leaders. if there's no law enforcement, of course these guys will do whatever they feel. there was so many issues. do you find that the understanding of the police in haiti is not a major issue with controlling the guns? because if the police can't do it, who's going to do it? well, are number one. as i said earlier, haiti is not part of france, but of course he's on haiti and as clear water, i'm clear about it. he said,

i didn't mention it at the 9th and my conversation with you, i was asking about and understanding it, please. and, and number 2, when you talk about a warfare weapons, haiti is under or mug war for, for the past 20 to 30 years. for some reasons on even under was, is that are listed because of the issues we for the could it are, there was no of it was not easy for haitian governments to of warfare weapons. so the gangs, for some reasons, 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 you're talking about our most modern eli gangs organized gangs. so now the thing is

the government from prime minister arreola, he does in deal with gangs. and at that that is clear. we have been the prime minister that i never sat down with gangs members to actually negotiate with them here. so none of the current transition cabinet has never had any negotiations, no relationship with the gangs, inherently not at all, not at all, and knows, it was clear. napoleon, assario has said that in many times on, on his speeches and in, 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 whatever to say. but the trophies he doesn't have of gangs saw. so a day have a way to actually find the warfare weapons and de concentrates. some of them in, in the pony boards, the, they do kidnappings, to whatever they have to do. but we know for sure that the policy units,

they need more equipment to deal with this warfare urban warfare situation. he so really not 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 virginia, just sit it there is an embargo on guns and ammunition in haiti. how in a world can those gangs be better at the quick? they never won out of weapons. they never won out, i, munitions, 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 in, when the government is in charge of our borders, who is in charge on our border with the dominican republic was in charge of the

fort, because that's where they are coming from. they're not coming from the sky. it's not re, but the never one of weapons and ammunition in whenever there is a gay wars in the d. flint, a member who would like to see this lay where there were close to 500 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 we call to a csb and the dog or the council 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 police does not have enough met the or not well trained in they do

not have a wheel because a lot of them are to walk. but at the same time, we are not seeing a politic will f one, the prime minister. judging your may say that her prime minister is not dealing with gangs. why am i to know if these is dealing with games or not? i am just a normal citizen. will. can see that the games always have the upper hand. they know her one outlook ammunition or weapons and this and munitions on weapons are coming by c. by land. and it's the government, wheezing charge of making sure that what's getting in the country and not anyway let let. 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 a strategy to beat the gags? oh, it's very clear like her currently. oh,

this is been on the news that the cost toms in bottle price day actually stopped a big package of warfare weapons that was coming for it for kennedy church, and currently in potty trained and off of west the actually is seized. so i mean you sions that, that came from order citizens saw the change of the, the director general of the custodians that are made. that was actually there was a big, big thing for us, air and bears on down. you can see new weeks coming, they are going to be more are seizures of warfare weapons at the customs because i was very and i said earlier, it's cleared out to be in the doors. guy has english in their po number, they did us. it probably did do not fabricate the warfare. weapons did the number of did it up a factory of, of munitions that for some reasons e,

off of course government, i mean is, think about a strategic, but we have to think about the strategy. what do you have a strategy? this is just be quite rating it. and for me, okay, one is a terrible about 18 is else is how i don't feel couple of thought the yet will you and say well, he was watching i t m is a step by step. nothing can be done in one day to step by step. they changed the director of the cost arms way. now. currently debbie, actually seizing some warfare weapons and in they have to aggressively currently day day they actually are in went to the west, i'm sorry, has been arrested. i think that when you should, you should listen again to the ones who are arrested as well. oh gillian winner. oh, i thought it was okay. are you going i my well,

very like i want to be able to be quite constructive. human being answered and i gave you a 2nd john, julia. now i'm taking that 2nd back. let me take it back because i'm going to involve our audience watching. and she said something i need to correct. she said, was arrested not right now. there are people in jails were involved, were involved in the catholic church, our input weapons and 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, that you have to, doesn't worry, you know, some artists important them where her was arrested got really guess. and that is the problem. impunity is the girl, the take a pause your memory and 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, social services, they should be provided by foreign countries and run and profited. it,

profited 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 some way we know about a story, and he, you know, there are back by different government entities or people economic interest to protect. and so when we understand that concepts, 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 political you know, 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's known as been new and video even recently complained about the gang violence. let me just go to the translation question here. the new cause on, on individuals to immediately stop the acts of finance to allow free passage to the medical emergency services and encouraging the national authorities to ensure the protection of the civilian population. this is international help that is available to haiti, but is it walk in john junior? is this enough? well it again, like 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. 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 would give her read. oh yes, the organization of american states. they sent a note like on monday saying that our minister left 80 and now we are ever been here in the weird it put the note is like, they are blaming themselves. so in above i met with thank. we believe that in our we can, we can actually, we activate 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, we gonna give solution to ourselves because the meanest i was there, of course, i mean not a left in our that there was a been, you be knew, you know, is not vote in that perfect. but that we, 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're, they're 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 violence i'm going to say 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 situation. the un as will present in heavy for the past 15 years, they have spent billions of dollars more than 10 billions of dollars. when they left, we had to call you that. 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, we never had before. we had a huge quality called economy and society crisis hates. he has never been so bad with the u. n. b, i read that a know i then the you went with the united states of america. i will the sandwich. you get the last word and, and it's very sobering, one at that last sentence. haiti has never been so bad. i appreciate you, james. and he was with us a little bit earlier, john junior and molina and your comments and questions on youtube as well. and so watching today's episode, i'll see you next time ah ah
