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 part of your house, you know that you may not come back. so every day you cherish a little. ready with us, you have your family, a bit more keys in your humble kids, the python, 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 cleanup. we're not going to come and keep not be full on quiet

citizens or sleep. they are in the roads because again, war. so there is no life in there is none of these will be 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 current 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? the 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? them because they said, you know, if 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 well. you have getting anywhere supportive grant, it's around the may by getting death or that house better weapons in 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. joan 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 right now and a police unit. there are some good police officers. there are laws who are not all

in one are very proud to be police officers. those were very good police officers. they did, they did some good jobs and they even stop are sudden, kinda bangs the they, they went to are, may need for the boards where the guns are an and current lead. the been her arresting and having defending as the population is, sir. and also one thing that was, that is clear haiti is 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 the, even there is, are turning social media. it even said are some alters in an off, are not our sold out. so understanding the copied older situation that are very, very difficult. but to go remedies is having, i mean the sticking this very seriously. and he been meeting we for the polish

renee's, we're for the swat teams to make sure that we have equipment so that we can address a situation. and up accordingly, we make a point about my please not being a highly joel b, selena, 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. ready i'm from the north avenue below. would make it home tonight safely, quietly, with my kids for the past 10 years. there is always something on the web. you're always games on the would go against it. yeah. they are against emotion michelin now. do i gains in canal by cecily? so i cannot make it up. i was going to go and aid it. my 3 daughters in i was pregnant at the time, we got cut into sh shimmy. in my call was eat. so yes, haiti is not on the list what the violins that we,

i see in for rent it speaking up in on a see this as well in moving from paul quinn, still odyssey this is hale. hey, hawkins has been cut from on the south for more than a year now. well, yes, the police, you know, i don't want to be too hard on the police, but what is he doing when they can with the legal that the have? 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, what else our book and give ation. wilkin gold okay, vision will not was haitian leaving in the country. well, many people from the vast law trying to find their way home to visit their handling,

what, what we were talking about. what is harbor families that we received or gangs, kelley more than causes of people, but the thousands of kids that are left often. what are we telling that to them, the co counsel book in compassion that the con, she is not only portraits? is that what the government is saying to us that move to occupation because there is more security 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 you chief. 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 stopping jamison? well, 1st of all, i think it's about the 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 yeah, 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, they are making a lot of money with 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? mussa 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 there'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 guns? 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, but of course he's on haiti and it's clear about that. i'm clear about it. he said, i didn't mention 9th and i conversation with you, i was asking about and under funding 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 that aristide 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 dis eugene 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 doesn't 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 company has never had any negotiations, no relationship with the gangs, inherently not at all, not at all. and, and there was, it was clear, napoleon, assario, he 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 whatever to say. but the trophies he doesn't have of gangs saw. so a day have a way to actually find new warfare, friends and de concentra. it's some of them in, in the poor new boards, the, they do kidnappings or do 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 that, 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 war, can those gangs be better at the quick? they never one out of weapons, they never one out 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 in. what in the cover mit is in charge of our borders, who is in charge on our border with the dominican republic was in charge of the port 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 the so lay where there were close to 500 people dead in killed in less than 10 days. then what did the police do? we, i'm not seeing in me armstrong, we're from 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 assist the end was the, the conceal 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 if we met the or not, well trained in the do not have a wheel because a lot of them are to 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 doing we

gangs. why my 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 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, 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 is are clear like her currently. oh, this is been under news that the cost toms in put a price de actually stopped a big package of warfare weapons that it was coming for that for kind of the

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 it was actually, there was a big, big thing for us, air and bears on that. you can see new weeks coming, they are going to be more 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 pool, newborn, they did us probably did do not fabricate the warfare. weapons did don't under i did it up a factory of ammunitions. don't mean that for some reasons. e off of course government, i mean is think about is strategic. but we have to think about the strategy, but do you have a strategy?

let's be quite rating it. and for me, okay, is it on, is that a terrible validating is it is how i don't feel couple of thought it was you. one single. he was watching nothing. okay. oh, this is adam is a step by step. nothing can be done in one day to step by step. they changed her, 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 see. think that when you should, you should listen. i'm to the ones who are arrested as well. 0000000 of in a oh i thought it was okay i, i my well very like i want to be able to be quite constructive healing. i took him, i gave you that control julia. now i'm taking that 2nd back. let me take it back because i'm going to involve from an audience watching and she said something i

need to court. she is a, was arrested, not right now. there are people in jails were involved, were involved in the catholic church or input of weapons and war for herb once. and she knows that civilian annasae, of washing ordered pair, whatever it was arrested, was really isn't in process. and you know, that you have told you doesn't worry, you know, serrato's important them where her was arrested, got really guess. and that is the problem. impunity is the only take a pause 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 wouldn't have listened to the managing editor of the haitian times.

this is what she told us a few hours ago. so let me know about games or use historically, you know, there are back by different government entities or people's economic interest 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're counting on the international community to help get 80 hours, emergency situation. this goes beyond like 80 lead solution or political no problem solving that we're, we're talking about this is asians 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. complaint about the gang violence. let me just go to the translation division here. the 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 authorities to ensure the protection of the civilian population. this is international help that is available . it's a high t, 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 you just the question. can you please go to this international help venue is in haiti right now. how helpful is the united nations to haiti's situation with gang finance, where civilians are scared to leave the homes in some parts of haiti? her as oh, wow. yeah. oh,

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 the strong diplomacy to move. so that the situation that we are in 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 now the left in our, there, there is a been, you be new, you know, is not vote in that perfect. but that we, we can see that a chevy question with evelyn 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 more. so what's happening is the most of the situation that we are great with in haiti is their responsibility. and they should take full responsibility for putting us in the sheets. we should, the un as we present in haiti for the past 15 years, they have spent billions of dollars more than 10 billions of dollars. when they left, we had the corolla. 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 political, economic, and society crisis. hate c as never been so, but with the u. n b, press it,

then, you know, i then the you with the united states of america, i will this much 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 . weakest issues with the plains? witness differences, witness change? witness, happiness. witness, blood, witness. sunlight, witness de la. witness, loss, witness, charity, witness, confusion, witness, clarity, witness, family and witness. friends. witness the beginning. witness. the end. witness. life
