say that for you as the top, the don't go away that's coming up next month jobs. traces the history of hating wells 1st free, black republicans sort of got office in building the the system the way it is. so police power and key, more people than ever on the move world wide and such are based on life. i suggested in cardboard, that's on the left side of the image and find out about bailey story. info. my grand, this is havi, and this is how rich cruise ship to is the relatively few visits get to see it at a private beach on the northern coast. and this is the reality, just a few cars on the, to the way in the capital of port to pulse. for most people in hate,

violence can find control of the st sky, rocketing prices for food. i mean, most people are from greece and miserable to google, but yeah, a couple of minutes. yeah. yeah. you have to do more, but we do the do see what you're doing. this is all some of the i'm on till he is a freelance journalist from haiti and we will do more for the few lessons. you're also going to be watching. let's do a full tank of the la coverage and nothing. so 6 through the on they did, you know, the start of, hey, the story is quite inspirational. it had the world's only successful slave revolt leading to the world's 1st black republic. so what happened? let's just say colonialism. play that sparks and all these big players amongst others were involved. so let's unravel how the world a mess with katie and what that means for today.

this is havi slag. now this is what it used to be when it was still called santa monica. yes, that's the french black. when the black slaves broke free of their french masters, they remove the white stripes from their flag. re presenting an end to white european power. a bit of white lay to reappear then the flag, but with haitian symbols. but let's start at the beginning or at least what your opinions consider as a beginning of haiti. it was actually christopher columbus was the 1st colonial player to set foot on the island of law. his fun, your he landed in what is now called most on me, called out on november 6, 1492, claiming its for spring. at the time, half a 1000000 indigenous people were living on the island, the by the mid 17th century. most of those indigenous people were gone. europe was crazy for coffee and so good. and

this far would be an island promise. both the french slots, spain for control. the 2 colonial powers ended up splitting the island into the spanish calling the of santa domingo is today. the dominican republic and the french santa monica later became hayden. the french brought an african slaves for the girl in court. on sugar came sensation by 1880 had a population of more than 700000. overwhelmingly people from west africa that was very kind of the ball body and assist of slaves what it would be to accept you of rubbish. that is a professor of politics at the university of virginia, born and raised and talked to pounds 80 has been at the center of his research for decades. the expectation of slaves was lucrative. some of them all became friends, most hospitable calling me in the american slave labor plantation,

supply roughly 40 percent of sugar imported to europe at the time. it was a brutal system, both for the and slave humans as well as the eco you can still see the effects today. just look at these ariel images on the border with the dominican republic. on the dominican side, you can see less porous and green law. on the haitian side, the land is barren trees gone. back to the french colony of santa monica. by the end of the 18th century, the slaves had had enough. not surprisingly, they revolted and made history. lucian is something that all haitians of a proud of, i mean it persist. i mean, this is one of the, of the city and fresh meat for that uh, you know, the founding mid the end. it's one thing that keeps going in 18 o 4. he became the 1st black republic in the world. so far,

so good. oh, but it came with a price, a crippling one. first i so license. nobody wanted to do business with a new nation. the new black republic was cut off economics surrounded by the colonies of powerful nations using slave labor, who feared their slaves could also be built. katy was the 1st black republic recently enough for some of its powerful neighbors to refuse to even trade with a new nation. because you know, racism and from republican revolutionary france demanded ab pay for its independence. having loss of lucrative source of sugar from salt reprobation. a staggering sum of 150000000 francs and go over the next century . have you pay the equivalent of between $20.13 us dollars

with a massive debt. how much of a chance did the young republic even have after independence? haiti suffers from the burden of reparations from isolation, but also from poor government. a series of bad government's leaders added to the country's misery. i believe that there is such a thing as a new partner, new stick, and ultimately did for you mental convergence of interest between the huge and the rulers and the international community. the interest of the hero shows and the interest of the for empowers is not necessarily the same, but the ultimate consequence of the converge. and unfortunately, convergence is that it is definitely meant also because so both domestic and international factors have led to the devastating status quo and hating a symbol for that successfully. the densely populated neighborhood of popular pulse

is now in near complete control of gang nearby. as the frontal hospitals center in november 2023 heavily um to bang storm the hospital and threatening to people inside its environment of a really our people are trying to do survive and, and where violence is completely a normalized right. now, the ego doubting works at the international crisis group, a non governmental organization committed to conflict resolution. you recently traveled to hate the security situation. rapid c deteriorated in july 2021. back then hades, presidents of a name or use was killed by columbia, and most americans, it's unclear who paid the last time a haitian president was killed, was a 1915 that the assess of nation opened the chapter for an intervention which still impacts heavy today. that's the same. yeah. us marines landed and part of

officially us forces were there to restore order. but washington also wanted to block european powers on the island from tapping into haiti's resources. so we owed some money to the us backs and the instability, you know, he gave a free text with united states to move in with the marines. and the 1st thing they did was going to the central bank of haiti take uh the reserve of the central bank, put it on the boat and set it back to new york to see the back. and that's the way it was. us troops stayed for 19 years, but their footprints are still visible today. what happened with the occupation was the centralization of power info press. and the most important element was the creation of a centralized army, which became. ready much the options are of politics for very long time, you know,

have the us occupation back locally, leads and trained local security forces. those forces with later back various machines, including the brutal dictatorship of francois pod, talk to the you and the son baby talk. this led to a situation where hastens became suspicious of power. and up until today, there is a vacuum of power with haiti, edging closer to failed states that was a symbol for that, the national palace, the official residents of the president, was destroyed in haiti's, devastating earthquake and 2010. the ruins were even then removed and the palace never rebuilt. dep. dr. rebuild rebuild, but nothing has happened. there were construction that was progress never materialized. money was one. ready one year was stolen and again, foreign influence plate, it's parts, maybe with good intentions, but again with a bad outcome. foreign powers wanted to bypass corrupt officials and gave the 8

direct me to n g o. the student became, you know, kind of a very weak structure. then people were working in the state just started moving into the end, yours. so when you evans, yours everywhere, no one controls the government loses its, its essence. and once you have that, there is no, you know, so we mean from very this pretty crazy. the reason that i was looking for anything . all this led to the situation today. no president, no function in parliament, just the acting prime minister, the only with no real power. one of the worst crisis haiti has ever seen. that's why only has once again turn to the international community and ask the un for help . yet another international player. resume one more, let me show you this is for him, i'll be on

a significant amount of finance. the last time that the united nations intervened and heavy things went horribly wrong. this is haiti's main water service, the oxy bonita river. and this is precisely where the last un mission took a devastating turn. in 2010 un peacekeepers mainly from the pot set up camps here. just above the stream, flowing into the out. people need to river a few days later close by. suddenly, the 1st call, the right cases, appear, investigations later found that the un soldiers unintentionally released infected sewage into the stream flowing into active will need to refer leading to a color outbreak that costs $10000.00 nights and spread across the country. the and there was never really any type of restitution for doing that. so there is a very bad face in the, you know, in the,

in, in for that kind of intervention. the un mission that was supposed to bring stability and security to haiti. that's the country in 2017. so what does all of this mean for today? how's the world abandon heavy for good? and our haitians even flat, about not quite in 2022, the prime minister called for a new international security mission to come too heavy to crack down. and gang violence as long as kenya has offered to lead a new u. n box and moved to national mission that could soon deployed. so katy yeah. a lot of it is. can you put one more more but hold on. i mean on that move of if, if there's a share is enforcing cause you above to let's see the community or

is this address of the the so the, the, the for the last is still unclear. the idea is to send us a small group of highly trained police steps to restore order and secure a key infrastructure such as a country's main airport. so yes, now the international communities, realizing that it must change the way it has acted in the way it has and intended to help the thought to gain control some 80 percent of culture punks. they are well armed and know the terrain. even if international costs are welcomed at 1st, that could change quickly. so there might be fog be to forward for an intervention. but i think that should be. busy may be very short lived if it is not a very effective intervention. in other words,

it may well come to the cab to stop each ball to fairly quickly. i think they put pollution turn against them. the for hey, sense the new mission raises. once again, the question, will it bring improvement for damage the country in the long run? a question with no answer yet, but hastens habit resilient past to cling onto the, the smaller this a little bit. what's going up is on the juncture because it goes to this year, the news that vehicle is good to go on. a bus on the corner. that's when you're going to be loud. you a lot of multiple quick shows, but the said, you saw the 80 clearly will face

a number of problems for the foreseeable future. what did you say? which do you political issue should we mess i'll mix? does exercise just sound like a lot of hard work and it's the felt of sweaty strangers and the gym, just repulsive. then maybe this is for you, cozy cardio influencer hope is looking brown, now close up at home for her work out. and she has over 30000000 followers. do you need to go flat out to reach the health benefits? how much exercise is enough? what can you do if the life of a top athlete is not for you? that's what we're about to find out on in good shape. the .
