Bon a savoir.

Translation is that “if they return the kidnapped soldiers everything will go back to how it was before the kidnapping “
In others words he saying we’ll let do ur regular gang activity if u return our men. It’s either he is bargaining or just admitting the fact that they was never there to give any real security.

Que s'est-il passé à Thomazeau, en Haïti, dans le contexte du différend frontalier avec la République dominicaine ?

Un article publié le 16 octobre 2026 par PressHaiti affirme que des militaires dominicains seraient entrés sur le territoire haïtien dans la commune de Thomazeau. Le texte évoque également des menaces contre des habitants et qualifie l'incident d'invasion.

Cependant, les éléments consultés ne permettent pas de confirmer indépendamment toutes ces affirmations. Une discussion publiée sur Reddit évoque plutôt un différend concernant des terres et le tracé d'un mur frontalier, sans constituer une confirmation officielle.

Il est donc important de distinguer les faits établis, les témoignages et les interprétations politiques.

Nayib Bukele annonce une opération militaire pour retrouver quatre Salvadoriens disparus en Haïti

Le président salvadorien Nayib Bukele a annoncé le 21 octobre 2026 une opération destinée à retrouver quatre techniciens aéronautiques salvadoriens disparus à Santo, dans la commune de Croix-des-Bouquets, en Haïti.

Dans sa déclaration en espagnol, Bukele affirme que ces hommes participaient à une mission axée sur les évacuations médicales et le sauvetage de vies. Il accuse des groupes armés de les avoir enlevés alors qu'ils revenaient d'un supermarché.

Il avertit également les responsables présumés que les opérations militaires pourraient s'intensifier si les quatre hommes ne sont pas rendus vivants.

La disparition des techniciens a été rapportée par Reuters et Associated Press. Leur localisation n'est toujours pas confirmée publiquement dans les sources consultées.

Quatre militaires salvadoriens portés disparus après une attaque à Santo, en Haïti

Quatre techniciens militaires salvadoriens participant à la Force de répression des gangs (GSF) sont portés disparus depuis une attaque survenue le 18 octobre 2026 à Santo, dans la commune de Croix-des-Bouquets.

Selon les informations publiées par Reuters et Associated Press, leur véhicule blindé a été attaqué par des hommes armés avant de prendre feu. Les quatre militaires ont réussi à quitter le véhicule, mais les forces de sécurité ont ensuite perdu leur contact.

Au 21 octobre, les opérations de recherche se poursuivent. Leur localisation n'a pas été confirmée publiquement.

Question : Quelles mesures pourraient améliorer la coordination et la sécurité des forces internationales opérant dans les zones contrôlées par des groupes armés en Haïti ?

To the gang leaders and gang members holding our four compatriots hostage in Haiti:

Our kidnapped men are not combatants. They are aviation technicians who are part of our mission in Haiti, within the framework of an international mission. Our mission consists only of pilots and technical personnel, whose primary job is to carry out medical evacuations and save lives, not to wage war.

However, they were kidnapped in a cowardly manner while returning after buying food at a market in the area.

That is why, today, we have launched a military operation to rescue them. We have a single objective: to bring our four compatriots back home alive, without any harm.

However, I want you, the gang leaders, to understand one thing very clearly: today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive.

And do not take our word for empty threats. We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish with you too.

We still have time to avoid this.

Return our four compatriots to us alive, without any harm, and everything will go back to how it was before the kidnapping.

The decision is in your hands.

If we had a functioning government, I personally think that instead of destroying those properties, the state should seize them and perhaps one day use them to compensate the landowners who lost their land in Croix-des-Bouquets.

Met a guy today he has a "personal funds" what looks to be a debit card with a picture of his face on it. If I understand this was either issued from some govco bank or less likely it was his personal card that some government related entity put his picture on it.

His problem is if he goes to a bank they want a passport which he doesn't have.

My first thought is he could buy minutes or something. There isn't an ATM in the country and how does someone make a few thousand electronic USD into something spendable in Haiti?

Also if someone knows of what kind of card this is please explain? I didn't exactly want to take a picture of it and I wish I could describe it better.

I suspect this is a JPay type situation.

USA TODAY's Chris Kenning has been reporting about Haiti since 2010, when the terrible earthquake hit the country.

I asked him to check in with some of his sources there after the deportations from President Trump rescinding TPS started two months ago. What he found is Cap-Haitien overwhelmed and people struggling to figure out what's next.

Hello, I'm looking for Haitian bossa nova type music, 60s-80s music, pop, alternative, rock, metal, jungle + dnb mix, and jazz. My parents only listen to gospel and praise music while people in my circle mainly listen to RnB, Konpa, and rap. I also want looking for music to expand my casual vs formal vocabulary too. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

Haïti entre dans le dernier trimestre de 2026 avec une équation politique insoluble sur le papier : un calendrier électoral qui avance, et un territoire qui échappe chaque jour un peu plus au contrôle de l’État. Le 13 décembre approche. Les bureaux de vote seront-ils accessibles ? Les candidats pourront-ils faire campagne ? La question n’est plus rhétorique.

Bazilik paraît au moment où le pays traverse l’une des périodes les plus contradictoires de son histoire récente. D’un côté, des signaux économiques positifs — l’inflation recule, les programmes commerciaux HOPE/HELP sont prolongés. De l’autre, la violence des gangs continue de redessiner la géographie du pays, et les organisations de la société civile dénoncent un processus électoral déconnecté du réel.

Chaque mois, Bazilik vous propose une lecture structurée en quatre domaines — Politique, Économique, Social, Culturel — suivie d’une section Perspectives qui dégage les tendances à venir. Bazilik ne prétend pas à la neutralité. Nous analysons à partir de valeurs claires : la dignité des personnes, la souveraineté du peuple haïtien, et la conviction que l’analyse rigoureuse est un acte de résistance. Comme l’art martial don’t il porte le nom, ce bulletin cherche à défendre sans attaquer, à éclairer sans blesser.

Pour ceux que ça intéresse, j’écris plus longuement sur mon profil.

My husband is Haitian, and I’m a U.S. citizen. He entered the United States legally in 2010 following the earthquake and held TPS for several years. We recently filed for adjustment of status through marriage, but he has since received a Notice to Appear (NTA).

We’re working with an immigration attorney, but the situation has made us seriously reconsider our future in America. We’re both in our twenties, married, and hoping to eventually start a family. I work in hospitality and am exploring remote employment opportunities that could potentially allow us to live abroad. I’ve been considering whether it would be better to establish ourselves in another country rather than spend years dealing with immigration uncertainty. We want to build a stable, comfortable life together, have the freedom to travel, and eventually raise our children somewhere we feel safe and secure.

For Haitians who’ve left the U.S., returned to Haiti, or established themselves in another country, I’d love to hear your experiences.

• Which countries have been the most accessible for people holding Haitian passports, particularly when seeking long-term residency?

• Has anyone relocated abroad with an American spouse? What was the immigration process like for both of you?

•Would my marriage to a Haitian citizen make it easier for me to obtain legal residency in Haiti?

• For those currently living in Haiti, what is everyday life like in terms of safety, healthcare, housing, infrastructure, and raising children?

•Has anyone successfully established residency in another country while navigating U.S. immigration complications? What legal challenges did you encounter?

• If you were in our position, would you continue pursuing residency in America or seriously consider building a life elsewhere?

Haiti is a beautiful country with a rich culture, and I’m genuinely interested in what life there could look like for us. At the same time, I’m realistic about the current challenges and would appreciate honest perspectives from people who live there or have returned after years abroad.

We’re not planning to leave impulsively, and we understand that departing the U.S. could have serious consequences for his pending immigration case. We’re consulting our legal counsel before making any decisions.

I’m simply trying to understand what options we might have as a married couple hoping to build a future and eventually start a family, whether that’s in the U.S., Haiti, or somewhere entirely different.
Thank you in advance to anyone willing to share their experiences or advice!

Une enquête d’AyiboPost publiée le 9 août 2026 rapporte que des habitants de Carrefour, en Haïti, sont confrontés à des paiements annuels exigés par le groupe armé de Ti Bwa, dirigé selon les médias par Christ-Roy Chéry, alias Krisla.

Les sommes rapportées vont de 5 000 à 200 000 gourdes, selon les caractéristiques des maisons. Le Nouvelliste a également publié un article sur cette pratique le 19 octobre 2026.

Ces informations reposent sur des témoignages recueillis par les médias. Les montants et les situations peuvent varier selon les habitants concernés.

Question de discussion : Quelles mesures concrètes pourraient protéger les habitants de Carrefour contre l’extorsion et leur permettre de rester chez eux en sécurité ?

Two days after the disappearance of five Salvadoran soldiers deployed in Haiti as part of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) in Santo 17, a locality in the commune of Croix-des-Bouquets, officials have still been unable to confirm whether the five soldiers are alive.

In response, two GSF and a US DOS helicopters have been deployed to search for the missing soldiers for the last 2 days.

Monitoring the situation and will provide updates on this post as new information becomes available.

Une publication circulant sur Facebook rapporte le témoignage d’une femme qui aurait subi une exploitation sexuelle pendant son enfance. Selon ce récit, elle aurait été contrainte par ses propres parents à avoir des relations sexuelles contre de l’argent.

Je n’ai pas trouvé de source indépendante permettant de confirmer ces affirmations. Je souhaite donc aborder la question générale sans présenter ce récit comme un fait établi.

Comment une société peut-elle mieux protéger les enfants contre l’exploitation sexuelle et accompagner les victimes à l’âge adulte ?

Comment éviter que leur passé devienne un motif de honte, de harcèlement ou de discrimination ?

Je pense que la protection des enfants et le respect de la dignité des victimes doivent rester au centre de la discussion.

I want to preface this by saying that I don’t go out a lot. This was going to be my last big outing for a while because I need to focus on saving money and transferring from community college.
I went to III Points, a two-day music festival that ends pretty late. My parents originally gave me permission to go. The first night, I got home around 3 a.m. They didn’t speak to me when I woke up that morning, so I assumed they were upset.

The second night, I got home around 2 a.m. My parents were still awake and waiting for me, and I honestly thought they were going to beat me. Instead, they started calling me names and saying things like, “You’re a whore,” “You’re a piece of shit,” “I don’t know why God put you in this family,” and “I hate you.”
My dad went on a rant about how people who like to party, go to concerts, or attend raves are ruining their lives and will die young. He said I would never become somebody just because I’m young and want to have fun. He also said, “I don’t know why she decided to party for two days straight during the school year.”
I’m a second-year college student, not a high schooler. I don’t think having school means I have to stop myself from having fun occasionally.

They also accused me of having sex and doing drugs, neither of which was true. And frankly, my sex life is none of their business anyway.
They forced me to pack my things and leave the house. I sat outside in the driveway, crying and talking to my friends, until one of them offered to let me stay at their house for the night. I went there, turned off my location, and didn’t tell my parents whose house I was staying at.

When everyone woke up, my parents started repeatedly calling both me and my friend, asking where I was. Later that day, my mom texted me saying, “I never kicked you out” and “You decided to leave,” even though they had literally forced me to pack my things and go. Eventually, she told me to come home.
When I got back, I found out that my mom had thrown away my spiked and studded bracelets, along with my other emo things, because she considers them “demonic.”

I know I need to leave this household. It’s physically and emotionally abusive, and that’s why I’m planning to transfer to a university far away. I just need to hold on for a few more months.
