The DR shares the same island as Haiti. This begs the question why one-half the island is normal and the other half is in constant turmoil.

[geogmz]

This is the people DR has as neighbors! Please don't get me wrong there's a lot of good people in Haití but the bad ones are running without control.. DR MUST finish the building of their fence and repair all the crossing point gates and reinforce security.

[t.r.campbell]

I can’t believe that this wonderful Caribbean island that could best be described as paradise is so full of strife. We have to look at what the common denominator might be an all of these areas that are played by violence.

[Maagpiie]

Bless you Haiti, I hold you in my hearts and sentiments and hope the nation will know peace and prosperity in our lifetimes. I hope this cycle of violence ends, the end of temporary governments and officials, uncertainties and mistrust end, I wish your people peace, wealth and abundance for all you have endured

[branevans]

Wow I feel so bad for them. They can't ever catch a break. If it's not an earthquake or another natural disaster, it's the violent hands and lawless leaders.

[kahanakahuna]

Over the past year, approximately 5, 600 Christians have been targeted and killed, worldwide. 90% of those murders was in Nigeria.

[tylershimabukuro]

this happens every day there and only now we care?

[LAFITZ]

coming at bad guys w/machetes IS UNWISE

[Dingleberry]

We should all donate as much as we can to the *Clinton Foundation* because they'll make sure the money goes into the right hands !!!

[doubleseven]

GOD BLESS these angels and all seeking freedom and peace around the world.

[kingstonrock]

They don’t have food, but they sure do have bullets

[themaskedman]

What are the French doing about any of this? This is their colonial disaster.

[AuAu]

My heart goes out to the families that have had an illegal ruin thier lives.

[np]

Where are they getting this ammunition from?

[traveladvisor]

Meanwhile in America immigrants are trampling all over poor Americans but thanks for the Haiti reporting!

[vickycameron-xl]

THESE PEOPLE NEED TO GET A HOLD OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR OWN COUNTRY!! NO MORE COLONIALISM AND COLONIALISM EXCUSES.

[lindavoltaire]

Each week the gang is taking over a city so the people decided their gonna take action

[winstonsmith]

Maybe Biden can give a speech about how his son died in a protest. MSDNC should ignore Haiti like they're ignoring Maui. Or just blame the shooting on Trump

[weslinepierre]

What don’t they find out who’s the real gangs. Someone is behind the curtain supporting Ariel. They are too many hypocrites that playing the movie. I believe we will get out

I recommend we read "Roadmap to Haiti's Next Revolution - Capitalizing Haiti's Economy with Diaspora Remittances"
