To be fair to the Haitians, they're probably the only group of blacks who defeated their Colonial Masters in combat and gained their independence.

200k Haitians and 150k Whites died in the 12 year war 1791-1803.


Casualties

In the early 21st century, historian Robert L. Scheina estimated that the slave rebellion resulted in the death of 350,000 Haitians and 50,000 European troops.[115] According to the Encyclopedia of African American Politics, "Between 1791 and independence in 1804 nearly 200,000 blacks died, as did thousands of mulattoes and as many as 100,000 French and British soldiers."[116] Yellow fever caused the most deaths. Geggus points out that at least 3 of every 5 British troops sent there in 1791–1797 died of disease.[117][118] There has been considerable debate over whether the number of deaths caused by disease was exaggerated.[119]

An estimated 37,000 French soldiers were killed in action during the Haitian Revolution,[120] exceeding the total French soldiers killed in action across various 19th-century colonial campaigns in Algeria, Mexico, Indochina, Tunisia, and West Africa, which resulted in approximately 10,000 French soldiers killed in action combined.[121] Between 1793 and 1798, the expedition to Saint-Domingue had cost the British treasury four million pounds (in 1798 money) and 100,000 men either dead, wounded, or permanently disabled from the effects of yellow fever.[122]

Numerous news stations reporting this.

Kenya Puts Haiti Police Mission On Hold: Top Official - AFP

The Americans were there in 2004 and it didn't go great so won't do it again.

Kenya was going to send 1,000 police to lead an international effort but was held up in Kenyan courts because the judge said that there was no official agreement. They weren't able to put the paperwork together and so it was delayed. They've bailed now.

There's no Plan B.

It's a bit like a Democrat run city only with a little more fermentation. The El Salvador method is their only way out of it but they don't have any Salvadorans - just Baloobas.

It's similar to the Conga, as per Casement, but without the Belgians, and it's been like that since year dot.

Where are the Clintons and Obama? Shouldn't they be acting as interlocutors or something?

I was not aware of such large numbers.

Decent effort on both sides to be fair ! !
Plus the Haitians have learned from the Slavers to never let a good crisis go to waste . . .

This lack of growth is down to the Haitian predisposition for slaughter and violence. Between February and April of 1804 the first leader of Haiti, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, led the slaughter of up to 5,000 Whites in the country. His soldiers also forcibly took White women and girls as 'wives' and sexual slaves.
This is simplifying what happened. Dessalines went after the French, and anyone who had aided in Haitian slavery.

There were exceptions, the famous exception being the Polish. They were brought over as mercenaries but after seeing what the French were doing, they went over to the Haitian cause.

That said, what Dessalines was inexcusable, no matter the terrible things the French did. He could simply have deported them....it was pure revenge to kill them all.
