The gang members, armed with automatic weapons, stormed into the small town of Pont-Sondé in central Haiti at around 3 a.m. on Thursday.
Then they started setting houses on fire.“As people rushed out of their houses, they were shot,” said Ravina Shamdasani, chief spokeswoman for the United Nations Human Rights Office.
When the violence ended, at least 70 people — including 10 women and three infants — were dead, while hundreds of others ran for their lives, the U.N. office said in a statement.
These “gangs” control most of Haiti, including 4/5ths of its capital.
It’s a strange word choice that the media has coalesced around. Rebel groups or armed forces would imply that they are coordinated and ideological. Cartels would imply that they are selling something. Militias is probably the best.
I think they were already called gangs before they grew to the point of controlling major territory and the media kept the name.
That’s not an attack, that’s a massacre!
Is this “gang” (terrorist group) going to get unwavering support on tiktok like Hamas did?
Unwavering? Really? Not a single one of the billion users on TikTok disagreed with that position?
Lmao. I hope you posted your question as a joke.
Only if your original implication that there was total support for Hamas on TikTok was a joke.
But I’m guessing you also think being against Israeli genocide is the same thing as supporting Hamas.
Nope, two things can be bad. It’s openly known that Tiktok was used to paint Hamas as the victims.
Used by whom? And so what? Does that mean the users agree?
TikTok was used by kids to learn about the reality of genocide in palestine which helped to explain the reasons for hamas’ resistance.
The obvious solution is banning TikTok or at least banning kids from the internet. \s
I love it when conspiracy theorists insists that it’s THEM who did it without explaining exactly who they mean by THEM. You’re just supposed to know.
In this case I don’t think these people are fighting off genocidal invaders, so they probably won’t get the same support as hamas.
Hamas isn’t fighting off shit. Do you mean Palestine?
Don’t mix innocent men, women, and children with dogs attempting to ignite a holy war to spread their hate across the globe.
