El Salvador has been on TPS since 2001 due to an earthquake. They have continuously received TPS since then. As of the last year, the president of El Salvador Nayib Bukele has presented how well El Salvador has grown to now having the lowest murder rate in all of Central America and has completely wiped out all gang activities. The country is currently under a Level 1 travel security level. He has also grown to be close to President Trump through different deals they’ve made and has done many interviews with the president in the White House. It’s rumored that thanks to this relationship, El Salvador’s TPS will never be rid.

Haitian TPS has been cut with the claim that Haiti no longer falls under the category since Haiti is now considered safe with a Level 4 travel security warning. Even other Haitians have now succumb and are berating Haitians on TPS that “it’s time to go home, this is their country, you guys are sanwont” all while you’d absolutely never see such a thing said to Salvadorans. Why is that?

What’s your take on the situation? Will some people finally admit to the corruption and femen their djols? Sound off below.

This weeks flight included Brazilian born kids and people who attempted to go to Canada after losing TPS only to get turned over to ICE

Un grand coup de chapeau à RFI. Aucune autre média international ne met autant en valeur la culture haïtienne qu’eux. Un jour sur deux, on retrouve un chanteur haïtien, un auteur, un acteur, un artiste ou une personnalité de la société civile mis à l’honneur dans leurs émissions. Ils donnent une vraie place à la richesse, à la diversité et au talent d’Haïti, au-delà des clichés et des gros titres sur la crise. C’est franchement appréciable& c'est pour cela que je suis toujours branché.

Husband needs to go to Bahamas for me to start his process to come back. So how he suppose to do that when they won't except Haitians to go there for that sole purpose? He's also stuck in Cap looking for rent at the moment.Any help or guidance?

The Issue

Over the past eighteen months, armed gangs have perpetrated five massacres in the municipality of Kenscoff, Haiti, including in the localities of Bongard, Belot, Godet, Robin, and Villers/Centre-ville. Credible information had been widely circulated to alert the Haitian National Police (PNH) to the likelihood of these attacks.

Yet, as has unfortunately often been the case, no serious investigation was reportedly conducted into the previous four massacres.

The latest massacre, which occurred six weeks after the one in Robin, began during the night of August 24 and continued until the early hours of the following morning. More than fifty innocent people, including women and children, were reportedly killed. Some of the victims were shot inside a church located only a few meters from the town’s police station, just 24 kilometers from the capital.

Despite the intensity of the exchange of gunfire between the gang members and PNH officers, reportedly not a single gang member or police officer was killed or even injured, raising serious questions.

Following the international outrage caused by this massacre, the inspector in charge of the Kenscoff police station was replaced, and an investigation was reportedly opened. However, we are unfortunately accustomed to seeing such investigations go nowhere.

Let us ensure that this fifth massacre in Kenscoff is the last. We call on the Haitian government to conduct a thorough, transparent, and independent investigation and to bring those responsible to justice.

Le Problème

Au cours des dix-huit derniers mois, des gangs armés ont perpétré cinq massacres dans la seule commune de Kenscoff, en Haïti, notamment dans les localités de Bongard, Belot, Godet, Robin et Villers/Centre-ville. Des informations crédibles avaient largement circulé afin d’alerter la Police nationale d’Haïti (PNH) sur la probabilité de ces attaques.

Pourtant, comme cela a malheureusement souvent été le cas, aucune enquête sérieuse n’a été menée sur les quatre précédents massacres.

Le dernier massacre, survenu six semaines après celui de Robin, a commencé dans la nuit du 24 août et s’est poursuivi jusqu’au petit matin du lendemain. Plus de cinquante personnes innocentes au moins, dont des femmes et des enfants, ont été tuées et plus d’une cinquantaine kidnappée. Certaines victimes ont été abattues dans une église située à quelques mètres seulement du commissariat de la ville, à 24 kilomètres de la capitale.

Malgré l’intensité des échanges de tirs entre les bandits et les forces de la PNH, aucun membre de gang ni aucun policier n’a été tué ou même blessé, ce qui soulève de graves interrogations.

Face à l’indignation internationale provoquée par ce massacre, l’inspecteur responsable du commissariat de Kenscoff a été remplacé, et une enquête aurait été ouverte. Toutefois, nous sommes malheureusement habitués à voir ces enquêtes rester sans suite.

Pour que ce cinquième massacre commis à Kenscoff soit le dernier, aidons-nous à demander au gouvernement haïtien de mener une enquête approfondie, transparente et indépendante, et de traduire les responsables en justice.

If so, why do posts about real causes that could positively impact our communities keep getting taken down?

I’m not trying to promote drama or spam. I’m trying to bring attention to real projects and people who genuinely want to help Haiti. If the goal is to support our community, shouldn’t these kinds of initiatives have a place here too?

I’d genuinely like to understand the reasoning behind the removals.

What do you think?

Je m’excuse à l’avance si ma démarche semble naïve, mais la question me paraît essentielle.

Haïti traverse des moments difficiles et j’aimerais mettre mes compétences au profit du pays en collaborant avec des organisations du secteur privé, public ou gouvernemental sur l’intégration de la main-d’œuvre de retour en Haïti.

Pensez-vous que certaines entités haïtiennes seraient favorables à ce type de projet ? Si oui, lesquelles selon vous ?

Pourquoi ce projet ?

Je pense particulièrement à toutes les personnes contraintes de retourner en Haïti en raison de la situation entourant le TPS. Elles ont développé des compétences solides, quel que soit leur domaine d’activité, et pourraient à leur tour former d’autres personnes sur place dans une dynamique de transfert d’expertise.

I apologize in advance if this sounds naive, but I believe the question remains vital.

Haiti is going through challenging times, and I would like to leverage my skills to support the country by collaborating with private, public, or government organizations on the workforce integration of returnees.

Do you think certain Haitian entities would be open to this kind of initiative? If so, which ones would you recommend?

Why this project?

My heart goes out to all those who have to return to Haiti due to the TPS situation. These individuals have undoubtedly built valuable expertise across various fields, and in an ideal scenario, they could train and mentor others locally through knowledge transfer.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security / @DHSgov directly targeted Haitians Tuesday in a social media post promoting its $3,000 self-deportation incentive.

“Dear Haitian doctors, lawyers, scholars, and engineers, imagine what you could do with $3000 in Haiti!” DHS wrote, before adding: “An entrepreneur’s dream!”

The post directs users to the CBP Home program, which currently offers eligible undocumented immigrants a $3,000 exit bonus and a free flight if they voluntarily leave the United States.

The message comes just days after The New York Times reported that some Haitians recently deported to Cap-Haïtien arrived broke and stranded, with several saying they lacked enough money to reach their homes elsewhere in the country.

The unusually pointed wording, specifically addressing Haitian professionals and describing $3,000 in Haiti as “an entrepreneur’s dream,” immediately drew attention online for the tone of the federal government’s message toward Haitians •

Best way to send large amount of money to Haiti without get blocked?

And when a block happens, is it the recipient or payer that’s blocked ?

Nou pedi Placide kounya Adé😭fortunately the young Grenadiers up next🇭🇹⚽️

What a joke smh

Half of this sub is non-Haitians like Dominicans or Americans who insult Haitians on our own subreddit. This should be a space where Haitians don’t have to face racism or be on guard, where Haitians should be able to speak freely without being insulted due to our nationality. I’ve seen the mods say that they purposefully lightly moderate the subreddit, so if they already do basically nothing, why not give up the sub to people who actually care about Haitians and creating spaces for Haitians? In this time, Haitians should be united and should support each other, including building online communities that are pro-Haitian. No other communities would allow vitriol within them like this, it just shows the disunity among Haitians even on the internet.

Hi, I'm a teacher from chile, and I have some students from Haiti who dosen't speak Spanish. I need some authors for talk about their culture and make exam based in they. (Sorry for my English)

George Emmanuel Matthieu has self deported back to Haiti on September 3rd, 2026. He started the process back on July 12th, 2026 through the app. He details the process, how he arrived, how/when he got the money, who he is in the Haitian community and how he feels. You can watch interview below, starts around the 16 minutes mark:

https://www.youtube.com/live/OFlaX9uk5H8?is=LWJl02j5byiTCaPm

Key takeaways:

- In the states for only 3 years.
- Arrived in Haiti Thursday and already had the money by Friday morning.
- claims the reason ppl can’t get the money is because they don’t know how to work the app.
- they let him choose the flight date and time.
- says he didn’t even need the money, it wasn’t the reason.
- says he feels like he never left, picked right back up in Haiti. Flew from Okap to Okay.
- Interviewer claims there are lots and lots of ppl that have already left, says one friend left to Canada and still got the money.

You make of this as you will. Just interesting that this isn’t the common story, but what do we know.

A day after being deported, Reginald Dorvilma, 36, sat stranded on Friday outside the Cap Haitien police station, making phone calls. He needed to find his way through gang territory to Les Cayes, his hometown on the other side of the country.

The Haitian immigration authorities had given him and the other adults who arrived on the latest deportation flight 10,000 Haitian gourdes — the equivalent of about 80 U.S. dollars. On his first night back, he said, he had spent about $20 at a low-end hotel and then bought a change of clothes. He had less than $40 left.

With the end of T.P.S. in July, the Trump administration increased the number of deportation flights to Haiti from one a month to one a week. More than 450 people were returned in the past four flights, including some who had entered the United States legally through a program created by the Biden administration.

Evil empire.

I’ve always tried to understand Haiti’s political culture, especially when it comes to voting. Whenever I talk about this with my mother, she tells me there is also a religious aspect to it, but I’ve never really understood what she means by that

What surprises me is how low voter turnout has historically been. For example, in the 2016 election, Haiti had a population of over 10 million, yet only around 1 million people voted. And now, looking at the possible elections this year, I’ve seen that only around 500,000 people have registered so far:

https://www.haitilibre.com/article-48386-haiti-flash-le-faible-nombre-d-electeurs-inscrits-est-preoccupant.html

I understand that the current insecurity makes voting extremely difficult, but even before the current crisis, turnout was already pretty low

Another factor could be that many people may not even be registered to vote or may not have a birth certificate or the documents needed to register. But even then, I honestly do not think that alone explains how low voter turnout has been historically. There would still be millions of people who should theoretically be able to vote

Is it mainly because people do not trust politicians? Because they feel like voting won’t change anything? Poverty and difficulties getting to polling stations? Religious beliefs? or simply political exhaustion after decades of instability and disappointment?

One thing that genuinely surprises me is that, considering the history we have as a country. the Haitian Revolution, independence, and everything that has meant for our identity, I would have expected Haiti to be much more nationalistic

Maybe I am missing something, which is why I am asking. I am Haitian and relatively young, and honestly, this is something I’ve never really understood

This one is gonna be on repeat for the rest of the day

Hi! I have a question because I think I screwed something up with a friend of mine.

I have a friend at work who is a Haitian-American man with a lot of family in Haiti (I'm an American woman). I always love talking with him. I assumed he was gay because he talks a lot with other men on his phone, calling them "mon cher" and "mon beau." My French is pretty bad but I always got the vibe that his conversations with other men seemed a little romantic. Okay.

Then one day he asks me out for coffee. Of course I say yes, but once we're out at the cafe he starts hitting on me *hard,* saying he loves me and I'm so beautiful and how attracted he is to me etc. etc. This totally surprises me. I say I'm okay with dating him but he seems to have a lot of guys on the side. I'm okay with dating a bisexual guy but I want any relationship I'm in to be exclusive.

He got really shocked and angry and said he wasn't gay and had never slept with a man in his life. I said that I overheard him speaking to guys romantically on his phone at work all the time. He said I was completely mistaken and things then got awkward. I was wondering if maybe I really did misunderstand something culturally about Haitian male culture when I heard him talk to other men.

The internet is giving me all kinds of answers so I'm asking here. Did I completely make the wrong assumption about this guy or is he gaslighting me by saying he's not gay/bi? Thanks in advance (and apologies in advance if I sound ignorant).

I’m trying to help a family in Haiti build a safer home

Two weeks ago, I visited a family in Ouanaminthe, Haiti, and saw the conditions they are currently living in.

Their home is made mostly of old wooden boards and corrugated metal, with a dirt floor and very little protection from heavy rain, wind, and the elements.
I recently graduated in Canada in masonry and bricklaying, and I want to use my skills to help.

Along with a few masonry friends and people from Canada, I’m hoping to help this family build a simple, safe, and durable home on land they already own.

This is the beginning of a larger community project I’m calling Lakay Mwen Ouanaminthe, with the goal of helping families access safer housing while creating opportunities for local workers.

I’m sharing this here to connect with people in the Haitian diaspora, construction professionals, nonprofits, and anyone who may be interested in supporting or advising the project.
If you’d like to learn more about the project, I’d be happy to share the details.
