⚽ Let’s give Haiti’s number-one sport the modern stadium it deserves!

What’s wild is this game was scheduled on 89th anniversary of the 1937 Parsley Massacre (El Corte) On October 2, 1937.

A state-sponsored mass slaughter where Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo ordered the execution of an estimated 9,000 to 30,000 Black Haitians and people of Haitian descent along the border.

Given the deep-seated historical trauma and ongoing modern geopolitical tensions between the two countries, the choice of date sparked significant backlash from fans and human rights advocates. Following the outcry, CONCACAF quietly rescheduled the match. It will now take place one day earlier, on October 1.

History to the side , the stakes for the upcoming match on October 1 are incredibly high, both in terms of tournament advancement and regional bragging rights. It will determine football regional supremacy in the Caribbean. Grenadye Alaso🇭🇹⚽️

Hundreds of additional Chadian soldiers are arriving in Haiti to bolster the United Nations-backed gang fighting force.

The soldiers are being deployed in groups: one contingent arrived Friday and the final one is scheduled to arrive this weekend. Together, they will bring an additional 300 troops to the force since its deployment began in April.

Another five years of this just cannot be allowed by any means necessary😔we HAVE to do something NOW.

He grew up in Port-au-Prince, where he was inspired to join the military after seeing U.S. forces providing humanitarian relief. He told his father that he would one day become an American soldier. His family faced multiple visa denials before finally immigrating to Baltimore, Maryland, in 2009.

He initially enlisted in the Maryland Army National Guard as a combat engineer to earn his U.S. citizenship. Despite early language barriers, he graduated in the top 5% of his class and was named West Point’s top physics student.

After graduation, he was commissioned into the U.S. Army Aviation Branch and learned to fly the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. Idrache was also selected for the elite Marine Corps Expeditionary Warfare School and later earned a degree from Stanford University, continuing his rise as a military leader and scholar.

On April 20, 1990, over 50,000 to 100,000 Haitian Americans and supporters organized a massive protest, marching from Brooklyn across the Brooklyn Bridge to lower Manhattan to challenge the FDA's discriminatory ban on blood donations from people of Haitian descent.

In 1983, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) incorrectly and unscientifically classified Haitians as a high-risk group for HIV/AIDS alongside homosexuals, hemophiliacs, and heroin users.

In early 1990, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended a formal ban preventing people who emigrated from Haiti from donating blood, citing unproven risk factors despite available screening technology. The policy fueled severe xenophobia, job loss, housing discrimination, and social stigma against the thriving Haitian population in New York.

Up to 100,000 demonstrators, joined by supportive cab drivers, flooded lower Manhattan and completely halted rush-hour vehicular traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge and near Wall Street. The unprecedented scale and unity of the demonstration shocked political leaders, and the FDA ultimately rescinded the discriminatory blood donation restriction months later.

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 •

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.

U.S. lawmakers have thrown a lifeline to Haiti’s last big export industry. Now all that is needed is President Donald Trump’s signature.

The House of Representatives on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a two-year extension of the country’s duty-free preferential trade program, the Haiti Economic Lift Program and Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement, known collectively as HOPE/HELP, following approval by the Senate in August.

For Haiti, where textiles have accounted for 90% of exports, the extension provides a measure of stability to a once thriving industry battered by political turmoil, gang violence and uncertainty over the future of the trade preference that once made the country attractive to American clothing manufacturers.

Still, supporters and business leaders had hoped for a much longer extension — at least a decade, if not longer — arguing that two years is not enough to persuade manufacturers to build factories, buy equipment and make the other necessary investments needed to rebuild an industry that has been struggling amid the departure of major international brands.

After we shared the story of Jay Dabelus, the professional boxer recently deported from the United States to Haiti, so many of you had questions, but many of you also left messages of encouragement, concern, prayers and support. 🙏🏾❤️

Jay saw them.

He personally reached out to our media page and wanted to send a message directly to everyone who has been following his story and asking about him.

For those just learning about Jay, he says he was born in The Bahamas, came to Florida around age 6 and spent more than 20 years in the United States, where he grew up and built his boxing career. He says he had never lived in Haiti and has no family or established support system there.

After arriving in Cap-Haïtien on Thursday following his deportation, his story quickly gained attention, and many of you wanted to know how he was doing and what would happen to him next.

Ket mesye gade on jwet neg yo ap jwe nan figi moun😭yo pran pep Haitian pou imbecile vre wi. Hmm

Disregard video quality and “Bahamian deportee”. Even though Dabelus was born in The Bahamas and grew up entirely in Florida, The Bahamas historically does not grant automatic birthright citizenship to children born to foreign parents. Instead, because his parents are of Haitian origin, he inherited Haitian citizenship, which gave the United States the legal framework to deport him to Haiti once his U.S. immigration protections expired.

Obòy🇭🇹🇭🇹is uniquely beautiful because it is one of the rare places where the mountains, the river, and the ocean meet, completely untouched by mass commercialism.

The town center sits on a small peninsula nestled right between two bays. The steep, emerald-green ridges of the northern mountains 🏔️ plunge directly down into the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean 🌊

The winding Borgne River slices through the valleys and empties directly into the sea next to the town, creating striking aerial views of shifting currents, river sediment, and ocean waves colliding.

Because it is geographically isolated, its beaches remain entirely raw. They boast soft sand, calm turquoise waters, and a backdrop of dense, towering tropical trees without major resort developments blocking the view.

Ex-Ombudsman Renan Hédouville, wanted by Haiti’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ULCC) after misappropriating $127,630 in funds for fake missions, including 10 non-existent trips, $14,500 to his daughter, $11,800 to his son-in-law, and his wife suspiciously withdrawing $23,370, was detained by ICE.

Hédouville was arrested by immigration authorities in the United States (Florida) after a background check flagged the active 2025 ULCC/DCPJ wanted notice. U.S. sources report that he is expected to be deported back to Haiti to face these pending corruption charges.
