The silence from many (most?) media outlets is deafening.

You're commenting on a reddit post that links to a story in media about the situation. So, media is reporting it.

There isn't much to say, Haiti doesn't want foreign intervention in the issue (the people appear to be at odds with the president in who asked for it) and with little desire for foreign intervention on behalf of the US and international community the gangs will control Port-au-Prince and Haiti as the new normal until something radically changes.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 44%. (I'm a bot)

> Gang violence, kidnapping and intimidation has forced about 96,000 people to flee their homes in Haiti's capital, the UN's International Organization for Migration said on Friday, as the country faces a crisis that has prompted the government to request the immediate deployment of foreign troops.

> Gangs are believed to control some 60% of Port-au-Prince, raping women, children and men and setting homes on fire as they fight to control more territory in the wake of the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, according to the UN. Haitians also are struggling with dwindling supplies of fuel, water and other basic goods at the same time as a cholera outbreak, with concerns growing over the unhealthy state of government shelters where thousands of people have been living for months after fleeing gang violence.

> The government this month requested help from foreign troops after one of Haiti's most powerful gangs surrounded a key fuel terminal in Port-au-Prince in mid-September, forcing gas stations and key businesses to close.

You not reading the dozens of articles that come out each week on this topic doesn’t make them cease to exist.

They're been talking about Haiti's issues for weeks, you look ignorant when you push this tired old anti-media circlejerk.

Would love to see an account of the 10 Billion and change Clinton helped raise for Haiti after the earthquake a decade ago. Apparently about 89% of the money went to outside agencies and private contractors who did who knows what, and 11% went to the Haitian govt and Haitian businesses. But hey, I'm sure it is all accounted for and completely on the up and up.

In the end Haitians have to help themselves. It is sad that some countries are better off under a strongman than this chaos.

Haiti is a great example of how unfettered capitalism can lead to intense corruption and eventual collapse in a developing nation.

Wealthy nations promised Haiti the world and then proceeded to rob them blind - imperialism won out over humanitarianism.
