duvalier really established it. an extremely tough bloody regime of the local oprichnina type, kill youruld be afraid, this was connected not only with the classical forms of dictatorship, but with random circumstances in society, if i’m not mistaken, in the sixty-first year dzyuvalie fell into a diabetic coma, from which it was believed that he won’t get out, he did get out of it, but uh. got out with neurological damage with periodic disruptions in consciousness and so on, it was then that he became actively interested in voodoo and voodooism, and it became part of the ideology, before that it was something exotic for him, well, personality problems after coming out of a coma had an impact , this is of course not the only reason, it just aggravated everything, and this is a dictatorship that intimidated not only... with depression, but at the level of consciousness, the evil voodoo men will come, you will no longer exist, or you will be a zombie, in haiti, many believe in it, but i think this is to a certain extent a regurgitation of african tribal traditions, strictly speaking, this i

from the late fifties to the early nineties, the country was ruled by duvalier's father and then his’t bring anything either, except that it inspired the famous british writer and intelligence officer. he had a very complex ideology, even in his youth he dabbled in left-wing ideas before communist ones, then communists were banned, but if you read what the devalier wrote when he was already in power, slogans from the initial period of gaetian communist organizations periodically flashed there. duvalier really set it up extremely tough and bloody. this is to some extent in brazil, not like that, but in colombia and cuba, among the population of afro-latin american origin can be seen, it’s just that haiti gave it all in the form of a quintessence, it’s just that he put it into service for the state, and there would simply be killers of the special services, that’s one thing, here the special services are denounced in fact with a religious sound themselves. connection with international review will be a real lady practitioner from burkina fasso who will teach a couple of good rituals. b

after the overthrow of duvalier jr., who differed from papa duvalier in no less cruelty, only in thatghtly, chaos reigned in the country. the police and army were disbanded, and the famous tanton macoutes from the death squads, the haitians lynched. however, it quickly became clear that the absence of a policeman with a baton somehow did not contribute to peace. the un sent foreign police officers here to build a new law and order system. everything was going well, but then an earthquake happened, which killed 220 thousand people, which is not much, 2% of the population. after which, everything here finally went awry. to make sure that haiti is not an island of bad luck, just climb one of the peaks dominating portoprenz. spread at the foot the capital, a little to the north, we see the mountains. because it was disproportionately expensive, as if it was built in manhattan, while the hotel did not often have light, and there was no water at all and , accordingly, no guests, but the clintons decently rounded up the capital, but not only they tried, in general, in the end the country the

military police is, let’s say, a relatively young and developing special force. attacked the airfield, duvalis are not affecting us, no longer, no longer, no longer, so let’s say, our syrian friends and brothers are asking us to demonstrate our presence here... israel doesn’t touch, well, yes, that is, only for the sake of this it is worth demonstrating, so that, well, our main function is in these conflicting parties, where we are dividing the negotiation process so that they do not have armed conflicts, one of the methods is coordinated patrolling in certain areas, humanitarian actions, that is, all these activities are carried out in a complex. that is, it turns out that a policeman , among other things, is a general-purpose soldier, yes, that is, he must be able to do a lot, well, many tasks, because specific ones that are performed in isolation from the unit, that is, we go out on our own, and accordingly, if he doesn't know all this, he starts first first aid, finishing, no , every fighter should now know tactical medicine, it ’s just mandatory now, mandatory, we prepared, let’s say, wh

the united states backed the duvalier dictatorship.c" duvalier seized power in 1956, declaring himself president for life. he eliminated opposition with the help of his murderous goon squad called the toncontin international airport -- >> one reason they ended up being a supporter of the duvalier dictatorship, they were a bulwark against communism in the hemisphere. >> reporter: when papua new guinea died, his son jean-claude, just 19, known as baby doc, declared himself president for life. but was forced into exile in 1986, taking with him by some estimates as much as $800 million stolen from the people. of the poorest country in the western hemisphere. haiti actually held free and peaceful elections in 1991. a former priest was elected president and was overthrown just a year later. so much for stability. then, in january 2010, haiti's worst earthquake in 200 years destroyed much of port-au-prince and killed, according to haitian officials, more than 200,000 people. in the chaotic aftermth, dozens of gangs emerged. >> they were worki

duvalier really set the edge. the evil people will come to voodoo, you will no longer exist or you willin haiti , many people believe in this, but i think this is to a certain extent a regurgitation of african tribal traditions, strictly speaking, this is to some extent in brazil, not like that, but in colombia and cuba, among the population of afro-latin american origin you can see it’s just that it’s all in the form of quintessence. voodoo, and it comes from africa in haiti, brought by slaves, surrounded by a flair of gloomy mystery. today, taking advantage of the occasion, we wanted to talk about him too, and even agreed that in connection with international review, a real practical lady from burkina fasso would come out and teach a couple of, well, good rituals, but either magic or world politics intervened, big part. west and central africa were left without internet due to damage to ocean cables. the hooters did their best there, or someone else was skilled, or it was just annoyance. investment rating, economics, through specific stories, we can reach people, we we often talk abou

the days of papa doc duvalier and the tonton macoute in the 1950s and �*60s seem positively mild compared haiti today. ever since the assassination of president moise in 2021, there's been no serious government, and a wild ex—policeman turned gang leader called jimmy cherizier is rampaging through the capital. the prime minister, ariel henry, left the country and has now resigned. what ever can be done? a question i put to luis fajardo of bbc monitoring, who's based in miami. henry has not established a timeline for his departure, and he's giving the handing over power to this transitional council and much less to an election. and, of course, haiti has heard before promises of a transition of political change that have extended, have not occurred, and they have eventually led to new surges of violence. the security forces in haiti are clearly in a situation of disadvantage against these gangs who now control or have controlled for a while, big sections of the capital, port—au—prince. and the last few days, one of the things that perhaps brought even more urgency of having a solution for t

in 1957 francois "papa doc" duvalier wins the election but later turned his administration into a dictatorshipsucceeded by his son baby doc, a dynasty which lasted for the next 29 years. in 1991, president jean—bertrand aristide was overthrown by the military and troops were sent in by the us to restore democracy. mr aristide returned but was eventually ousted in 2004. an earthquake in 2010 killed more than 200,000 people and caused extensive damage to infrastructure and the economy. and in 2021, presidentjovenel moise was assassinated by unidentified gunmen in port—au—prince. amid political stalemate, the country continued to be wracked by unrest and gang violence let's speak to haiti country director of the aid agency, matt knight who is currently locked down in port—au—prince. thank you for talking to us in difficult circumstances. what is it like where you are at the moment? it’s circumstances. what is it like where you are at the moment?— you are at the moment? it's not particularly — you are at the moment? it's not particularly easy. _ you are at the moment? it's not particularly easy. w
