\"ABy all accounts, the nation of Haiti has devolved to depths unseen since the <\/span>Haitian Revolution<\/span><\/a> of 1791. After the <\/span>assassination of President Jovenel Moise<\/span><\/a> in 2021, gangs took over the island nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince, leaving the country’s 11 million people in terror. Through the decades, Haitians have experienced various types of governments. Let\u2019s take a few moments to examine some of them.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The people of Haiti achieved independence from their French enslavers in 1804. Afterward, they experienced their government under the rule of a series of short-lived <\/span>Emperors and Kings<\/span><\/a>. From 1806 to 1811, King Henry I established himself as a <\/span>constitutional monarchy<\/span><\/b>, <\/span>a system of government in which a monarch is the Head of State and is governed by a parliament.<\/span><\/i> This is different from an <\/span>absolute monarchy<\/span><\/b>, <\/span>a system of government ruled by a monarch who has control of the government and state<\/span><\/i>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/span>Between 1811 and 1957, the island nation had over <\/span>30 leaders<\/span><\/a>, including <\/span>U.S. military forces who occupied<\/span><\/a> it from 1915 to 1934. Some of the leaders in Haiti lasted for mere days, while others were in power for years. While some led based on the principles of <\/span>democracy<\/span><\/b>, <\/span>a system of government in which the power is vested in the people and free elections are held<\/span><\/i>, others were military leaders who used their<\/span> power<\/span><\/b> to <\/span>exert control over others and achieve goals with or without the support of society<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The year 1957 saw the rise of the Duvalier dynasty. It began with elected President Francois Duvalier, a physician who was called \u201cPapa Doc\u201d by his patients. Duvalier was a corrupt leader who lined his pockets with money that should have gone to support society. To maintain power<\/span>,<\/span> he created a secret police known as the TonTon Macoute that terrorized citizens of Haiti, killing an estimated <\/span>30,000 people<\/span><\/a>. Duvalier\u2019s presidency was best described as a <\/span>dictatorship<\/span><\/b>, <\/span>a form of government in which a single person or political entity controls political authority<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After Papa Doc died in 1971, his 19-year-old son Jean-Claude Duvalier, or \u201cBaby Doc,\u201d became president. The U.S. continued to have a significant interest in Haiti in part because of the Soviet Union’s relationship with Cuba. U.S. leaders liked the fact that the Duvaliers (dictators or not) were <\/span>opposed to <\/span>communism<\/span><\/b><\/a>, <\/span>an economic and political system based on the government’s ownership and regulation of all the production and distribution of goods and services<\/span><\/i>. Unfortunately, like his father, Baby Doc continued to use the TonTon Macoute to harm people and the nation\u2019s treasury as a personal checking account. In <\/span>1986<\/span><\/a> the Haitian people rose up and drove Baby Doc and his family out of Haiti. They fled to the south of France on a plane supplied by the U.S. Air Force.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jean-Claude\u00a0<\/span>Since the ouster of Baby Doc, Haiti has continued to cycle through democracy, military coups, and foreign occupation. <\/span>Additionally<\/span><\/a>, Haiti experienced a devastating magnitude 7.1 earthquake in 2010, which killed over 300,000 people. In 2011, Baby Doc made a surprise <\/span>return<\/span><\/a> to Haiti after 25 years in exile, saying he wanted to help the nation recover from the earthquake. He was promptly arrested on embezzlement and corruption charges, but the judge in the case ruled that the statute of limitations had expired. Baby Doc died in 2014 from a heart attack suffered after being <\/span>bitten by a tarantula<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jean-Claude\u00a0<\/span>The assassination of President Moise in July 2021 was followed by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in August that same year that killed over 2,000 and displaced millions. In February 2024, <\/span>former President Moise\u2019s widow and presidential aids<\/span><\/a> were indicted for his murder. Moise\u2019s death contributed to a power vacuum in Haiti that has been filled by an estimated <\/span>200 gangs<\/span><\/a>, the most powerful of which control <\/span>95 percent<\/span><\/a> of Port-au-Prince.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On March 12, 2024, acting <\/span>Prime Minister Ariel Henry<\/span><\/a> announced his resignation. At this point, the world is unsure what to do or how to help Haiti. Some Haitians want foreign intervention, but many others don\u2019t. The only thing that appears certain is that Haiti is a nation on the brink of collapse. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
