Located in the western third of the island of Hispaniola, Haiti, sharing it boarder with the Dominican Republic. It is rich in culture and history, known for being the first nation of formerly enslaved people to gain independence from France in 1804 and assisting six other Latin American countries.
Haiti is a beautiful country, but they are currently going through a humanitarian and human right
crisis. Armed gangs are running ramped through the capital nearly controlling about 90% of the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince, and surrounding areas. Gangs are acting as the de facto
authority in many areas because the
government and police can’t contain them. Many Haitian civilians are being murder, raped, extorted, and completely in fear for their lives.
