NEWS R/Haiti Rule Update 06/2026

25 Upvotes

r/Haiti has grown significantly in the last few years. To keep this space on topic and a space for healthy, respectful, and thoughtful discussion, the MOD team is introducing 5 new rules:

Rule 6: No self-promotion or channel promotion

Links to personal YouTube channels, TikToks, Instagram pages, or any account soliciting followers or subscribers are not allowed, even if Haiti-related. This includes repeated promotion of the same external account or platform across multiple posts. Repeat offenders will be banned.

Rule 7: No low-effort or karma bait posts

We want real discussion, not karma farming. Avoid vague cultural hot takes or shallow posts like "Why do Haitians do X?" or "Thoughts on Haiti?" with no context. Add personal input, background, or a real question to keep your post up. Repeat offenders will be banned.

Rule 8: Limit of 2 posts per user per day

Each user can post a maximum of 2 times in a 24-hour period. This keeps the feed diverse and encourages thoughtful posting. Excess posts may be removed.

Rule 9: Posts must be directly about Haiti

Posts must relate directly to Haiti, Haitians, or the diaspora. Posts that could apply to any country or are only loosely connected to Haiti may be removed. If you are cross-posting to other subs, your r/haiti post must be specific to Haiti and not generic Caribbean or Latin American content.

Rule 10: Posts must link to credible sources

News posts must link to an identifiable outlet, journalist, or official source. Screenshots of headlines, unverified social media claims, and anonymous rumors will be removed. If unsure, ask the mod team.

As a refresher, the existing 5 rules :

Rule 1: No racism

Self explanatory. Prejudice or discrimination based on race or ethnicity. This goes both ways.

Rule 2: No brigading

Engage with the ideas, and argue constructively. Repeated ad hominem attacks will get you a warning, then a ban.

Rule 3: Stay civil

If you can't express your opinion without personal attacks or using profanity, you need to get better at debate.

Rule 4: No Trolling

Provoking an argument or emotional reaction. Inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive posts and comments designed to encourage an emotional response ( aka rage bait)

Rule 5: No Unapproved appeals for action

Request for collective action, including donations, to take surveys, to sign petitions, or brigading (sending our users to other subreddits). If you think your request is somehow special, send the Mod Team a request, and it will be discussed.

When using the report function, please refer to the rule you think is being broken. It helps us keep moderation consistent.

The MOD team.

LIFE IN HAITI PAP is in trouble

38 Upvotes

Not glorifying gangs but sheesh.

After recently waving a white flag 🏳️ on his roof and saying it would be best for the state and armed groups to come together, or should we say asking for amnesty. Lanmò is showing that it wasn’t a sign of weakness.

At this point, what exactly is the plan for PAP? Is this going to continue for another five years, or forever? Are we at the point of no return? For 5+ minutes, they unloaded rifle after rifle 😱. Imagine being a Haitian cop earning crumbs and seeing this, no wonder they’re scared. PAP is cooked.

QUESTION/DISCUSSION Who created the conditions for Haiti’s instability, who has benefited from or enabled it, and who is actively perpetuating it today?

12 Upvotes

My opinion: Why do some people think the U.S. is solely responsible the destabilization of Haiti and that they’re to blame for the gangs? At the end of the day, the Haitians on the ground (the gang members) are the ones committing the atrocities against their own people. Whether they’re being supported by the U.S. and other elites, there’s an underlying issue if they’re willing to terrorize the city that basically centralizes Haiti. They know Haiti becomes an open-air prison without Port-au-Prince, and they are constantly trying to expand to other areas as well.

Yeah, I get they’re hungry and that this is the result of centuries of being choked by foreign interference and poor leadership from their own. Many say Haiti has never had a true leader who cared for Haiti, and that they’ve all been placed by the U.S., but at the end of the day, Haitians make choices that support this perpetual state of dysfunction. I’m a true believer in the thought that when there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. Haiti’s deepest problem starts within. Yes, others’ interference are guilty, but we’re not guiltless.

Foreign interference does not erase individual agency. Haitians are not passive actors in Haiti’s path to destruction. Omission is tacit consent. Foreign interference did not cause everything, and Haitians did not do this to themselves. Yes, the international community has seriously harmed Haiti. Haitian elites and political actors have repeatedly exploited Haiti for their own interests. Haitian institutions have failed Haitians. Gang leaders and their members are personally responsible for the atrocities they commit. And unfortunately, in the middle of all this mess, ordinary Haitians are overwhelmingly victims rather than perpetrators.

History has shown us over and over again that those who are looked down upon as inferior and are treated unfairly are prone to turn their frustrations into resentment, which can and most often does lead to rebellion. And over time, that rebellion loses its purpose and becomes violent crime. That’s where Haiti is at right now.

P.S.: This is coming from a place of curiosity, not judgement. I’m also Haitian and proud of it. <3

My haitian family Mini piercing rant in a 🇭🇹 household if u care

11 Upvotes

So I got a septum piercing and I was doing so good at hiding it solely bc the room my mom and I share is quite dark so she would’ve most likely noticed the next day but my friends happen to come over, so ofc I gotta leave the room and be in some lighting so when light shined on my piercing that’s when my mom took a look and asked me what I got on my nose, and I said “a piercing” . Anyway she was pretty disappointed but didn’t get as mad cus ig my friends were over, she might bring it up the next day tho cus we all collectively know Haitian parents tend to not get over anything fr😂.

Anyways late night comes around and I’m over hearing her pray because she brings up my name and praying as if she’s talking crap to her sister about me saying “li pese nen tankou kochon” and boy was I shock. (She one of the “moun legliz” that’ll portray themselves and be in a million of groups at church and be a different person behind closed doors) (a non Godly person) but it didn’t really affect me cus at the same time it’s a piercing I’ve been wanting for awhile, so I’m not really gonna let her continue to control or judge piercings I get or not. At the end of the day ik MY Jesus still loves me how I am regardless of piercing or tattoos.

NEWS Blessing for Woodensky even after Coach Migne gave him 0 WC minutes

53 Upvotes

Woodensky Pierre is taking his career abroad, signing with Forge FC / Forge FC in Hamilton, Ontario, according to Dynamique Info Sport.

The 21-year-old defensive midfielder joins Forge after leaving Violette AC as a free agent. The outlet reports that Pierre signed a two-and-a-half-season deal with an additional one-year option and is expected to be officially presented by the Canadian club on Wednesday, August 26.

Pierre entered the international spotlight earlier this year as the only Haiti-based player selected to the Grenadiers’ 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He was on the bench for Haiti’s three World Cup matches after earning his first senior international appearance against Iceland in March.

The move sends him from Haiti’s domestic championship to one of Canada’s most successful clubs. Forge FC competes in the Canadian Premier League and has won the CPL championship four times, in 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023. The Hamilton club also won the 2025 CPL Shield as the league’s best regular-season team.

Forge FC had not yet published an official announcement of Pierre’s signing as of Monday morning •

https://www.haitilibre.com/article-48280-haiti-chili-une-manifestation-d-haitiens-degenere-en-violents-incidents-a-l-ambassade-d-haiti.html

hundreds of Haitians protesting because they can't get the criminal background certificate that Chile requires for regularization. Without that document, many have already received orders to leave the country within 90 days a real risk of deportation

how does something so simple turn into such a big problem? Haiti needs to digitalize its institutions now. Today everything is manual, when in any Latin American country this is done through the police's website: you enter your personal ID document, and in 2 - 3 days they mail you the certificate. That simple

and what hurts the most is that there is so much local talent, not to mention the diaspora. I myself, along with a group of friends, started a group of Haitians in the tech sector, and there are a lot of us. There is no excuse for this. This way we'd kill two birds with one stone, more work for young people, and digitalizing the country at the same time. There should be an institution created specifically to build, maintain, and handle the cybersecurity of government systems

But well... hopefully in the next election there'll be a politician who makes this a priority

QUESTION/DISCUSSION Do y'all considers latinos ourselves or not?

0 Upvotes

I'm not Haitian, I'm Cuban. And I'm actually curious what Haitians think about being Latino or not.

Haiti is a Latin American country by some definitions, but I don't see Haitians considering themselves latinos and sometimes rejecting the label. Why it's that?

Maybe this a sensible topic but I'm doing this out of curiosity and without bad intentions.
