Da fuck goin on down there?
Haïti was dealt a bad hand from the start. It's been living through disaster after disaster since it gained independence.
For the longest time, Haïti had to pay reparations to France, its former colonizers. The ordinance was in place until 2016, and greatly limited Haïti's economic potential.
This is on top of Haïti's geography that makes it very prone to earthquakes.
Poverty = inequality = violence = humanitarian crisis.
Curious why they didn't, you know, just ignore france and go on about their lives.

Wow. The french were really mad that brown people got their freedom!
Lol, that navbar.
Modern web design strikes again!
Da fuck going on down everywhere? The whole world seems to be going to shit in a hand basket while also on fire.
Each fiefdom's (nation's) ruling class is desperate to find ways to keep up with the others.
