The Resilient Spirit of Haiti: From Revolution to Modern Struggles

Haiti’s history is a testament to the resilience and courage of its people. From the first successful slave revolt that led to its independence to the complex and often turbulent politics of the modern era, Haiti has faced challenges with a spirit of resistance and a desire for sovereignty.

The Dawn of Freedom

The journey to independence was marked by the legendary Haitian Revolution against France. Beginning in 1791, enslaved Africans on the island rose against their colonizers, leading to a brutal war. Under leaders like Toussaint L’Ouverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and Henri Christophe, Haiti declared independence in 1804, becoming the first black republic to free itself from the shackles of slavery. This victory was not just a local triumph but a beacon of hope for oppressed peoples everywhere.

The Price of Liberty

However, freedom came at a cost. France demanded reparations for the loss of its colony and the slaves who had been freed, imposing a crippling debt on the new nation. Haiti agreed to pay France 150 million francs, a sum that significantly hampered its economic development for generations. This debt to France, later reduced to 90 million francs, was akin to a punishment for daring to take a stand against oppression, a yoke that Haiti carried well into the 20th century.

External Interferences and Internal Struggles

The United States and other powers have also played roles in Haiti’s post-independence struggles. The U.S. military occupation from 1915 to 1934, under the guise of stabilizing the nation, saw the extraction of significant financial resources, including the transfer of $500,000 to create what would become Citigroup. This period also set a precedent for international interference in Haiti’s affairs.

Leaders such as François “Papa Doc” Duvalier and his son Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier ruled Haiti through decades of dictatorship, marked by repression and human rights abuses. The democratic election of Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1990 represented a glimmer of hope, but his presidency was marred by coups and controversy, reflecting the ongoing struggle for stable governance in the face of external manipulation.

The Assassination of Jovenel Moïse

The assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July 2021 plunged Haiti into deeper turmoil. Conspiracy theories abound regarding the motives behind his murder, with some suggesting that Moïse’s attempts to challenge foreign and domestic elites’ control over Haiti’s resources led to his downfall. His death and the subsequent installation of Ariel Henry as Prime Minister have been viewed by many as yet another instance of foreign interference, with Henry labeled by some as an “international puppet.”

The Rise of Jimi "Barbecue" Cherizier

Amidst this backdrop, a new figure has emerged: Jimi “Barbecue” Cherizier. Viewed by his supporters as a revolutionary fighting for the rights of the Haitian people, Cherizier’s rise symbolizes the latest chapter in Haiti’s long history of resistance against external domination and internal corruption. However, his portrayal in the international media as a gang leader underscores the ongoing narrative battles that shape perceptions of Haiti’s struggle for sovereignty and justice.

Conclusion

Haiti’s history is rich and complex, filled with episodes of incredible bravery and grave injustices. The nation’s journey from the world’s first black republic to its current state reflects a broader struggle for autonomy, justice, and dignity. While the future remains uncertain, the enduring spirit of the Haitian people suggests that their fight for a fairer, more equitable nation continues unabated.

so how about that update, huh

This is one I missed earlier, it's from 19:10pm GMT on the 9th of November 2023, so almost 2 hours ago

This is DEEPLY fucking concerning. It also explains the earlier report about Reuters denying they had prior knowledge too. I can see them using this as 'justifiable cause' for targeting journalists.

In the way they claim Hamas is in every mosque, ambulance, portaloo, I'm waiting for them to start saying the journalists they murder were ones who recorded footage from the 7th.

it's the final video of the current hermitcraft season, you open it to find grian doing a final tour of the server, of all the builds and funny stories that had happened

then he goes to the place that started it all, the fishing dock. he never did get that mending book after all

imagine him fishing for one last time for old times sake, the string bobs and he reels in a book

he laughs figuring it’s a sharpness or bane of arthropods, or something just as useless to him. still he goes and opens his inventory. his cursor hovers over the book and right there it says-

mending

in glowing shimmering purple. there is a silence so deafening that you think that someone was murdered

you can physically see his soul leave his body before the most ear piercing scream-

the video cuts to black

megan thee stallion is the perfect example of unbothered energy. nicki has repeatedly vagueposted about her, gone on unhinged rants about her, gone so far as to mention her dead mother (such a classless low blow), threatened her on live, and has now released the tackiest diss track in history. and what has megan done? literally nothing. she straight up ignored her, aside from that one ig story where she posted herself laughing (which was perfect btw). she is the epitome of “i will not dignify that w a response.” i love it.
