Experten om Haiti: "Har aldrig varit så illa"

De beväpnade gängens grepp om Haitis huvudstad Port-au-Prince fortsätter att hårdna – på lördagen kom uppgifter om att landets presidentpalats attackerats. Haiti-kännaren och professorn Mats Lundahl förälskade sig i landet när han kom dit som 23-åring 1969. – Det gör ont att se det här, en misär utan dess like. Det har aldrig varit så illa som nu, säger Lundahl.

"Hur kan vi påstå att rätten till din kropp beror på geografi"

Nattens debatt mellan de båda vicepresidentkandidaterna beskrivs som sansad och artig och mer fokuserad på politik och de politiska skillnader som finns mellan de båda politiska partierna. – Det var en ovanlig debatt som vi inte är vana att se här i USA, rapporterar Tomas Kvarnkullen. Men i sakfrågorna och i synen på exempelvis ekonomin stod de båda kandidaterna långt ifrån varandra. Tim Walz gick på JD Vance om att Donald Trump inte betalat federal skatt de senaste 15 åren. Vance kontrade med att tala om hur Walz försvarade Kamala Harris ”förfärliga ekonomiska resultat”. Vance fick mikrofonen avstängd Även när migrationen och Springfield i Ohio kom upp – en stad i Ohio om vilken Trumpkampanjen spritt grundlösa rykten om att haitiska migranter äter husdjur och befinner sig där illegalt – tände det till. Walz anklagade sin motståndare och hans parti för att skylla allt på invandrarna. Vance beskyllde den demokratiska administrationen för att ha släppt in "miljoner" papperslösa. När tvdebattens moderatorer påpekade att haitierna i Springfield är där legalt invände Vance: – Eftersom ni faktakollar mig skulle jag vilja peka på hur det ligger till, sade han. Moderatorerna förklarade då att man skulle övergå till att prata ekonomi, något som Vance motsatte sig tills hans mikrofon stängdes av. Abortfrågan het En annan fråga var den om aborträtten, som varit i ropet sedan landets högsta domstol rev upp domen Roe vs Wade om garanterade denna. Walz vände sig emot att det numera är upp till de enskilda delstaterna att bestämma på området. – Hur kan vi som nation påstå att vi bryr oss om ditt liv och dina rättigheter när något så grundläggande som rätten till din kropp beror på geografi, frågade Walz retoriskt och vände sig till kvinnliga väljare. Ingen tydlig vinnare Någon tydlig vinnare finns kanske inte, rapporterar Tomas Kvarnkullen. Det har kommit en snabbmätning från CNN, som visade att JD Vance var den som flest tyckte gjorde bäst ifrån sig. Han fick 51 procent i den mätningen, medan Tim Walz fick 49 procent. – Möjligen att det framstod tydligt att JC Vance är den mer vane och bekväme debattören och att han lyckades åstadkomma det han behövde göra, nämligen att försvara Donald Trumps politik på ett mer sympatiskt sätt, säger han. Inför debatten har det också talats om att Tim Walz varit nervös för att göra Kamala Harris besviken. Men även han verkade nöjd efteråt, trots eventuell nervosietet. – Jag såg honom här utanför faktiskt när han smet in på en pizzeria och då både vinkande han och gjorde tummen upp, rapporterar Tomas Kvarnkullen.

Oron i Springfield efter Trumps utspel: "Förstår om folk flyttar"

Oron i Springfield efter Trumps utspel: "Förstår om folk flyttar"

Staden Springfield i Ohio har hamnat i blåsväder och i centrum av debatten står stadens haitiska befolkning. Detta efter att Trump under måndagens debatt, mellan honom och presidentkandidat Kamala Harris, påstod att haitierna äter folks husdjur. ”I Springfield äter de hundarna. De äter katterna”, sa han, något som dementerades av debattens moderatorer. Skolor håller stängt efter bombhot Under veckan har skolor i Springfield tvingats hålla stängt efter att man fått bombhot och oron växer nu bland haitierna. – Jag förstår om någon bestämmer sig för att flytta ifrån Springfield på grund av de här hoten, säger Daniel, en av de haitiska immigranterna. Biden: Måste sluta President Biden uppmanar nu Trump att sluta med sina påståenden. ”Detta måste sluta – det han gör. Det måsta sluta”, sa Biden. Men Trump visar inga tecken på att han kommer släppa Springfield, tvärtom. ”Vi kommer att ha den största deportationen i vårt lands historia, och vi kommer börja med Springfield”, sa Trump.

Så startade ryktet om att migranter äter husdjur och gäss

Så startade ryktet om att migranter äter husdjur och gäss

Debatten mellan Kamala Harris och Donald Trump, inför presidentvalet, har lett till rubriker över hela världen. En del av debatten som blivit särskild uppmärksammad är Donald Trumps påståenden om att migranter i Springfield, Ohio, äter hundar och katter. – I Springfield äter de hundarna, människorna som kom dit, de äter katterna, de äter de boendes husdjur. Detta är vad som händer med vårt land, sade Trump under debatten. Rättades i debatten Den tidigare presidenten blev tillrättavisad från ABC News moderator, som påtalade att det inte finns några anmälningar om husdjur som har skadats i staden av migranter. – Snacka om extremt, svarade Harris. När Trump tillrättavisades menade han att han sett människor på tv berätta om hur deras hundar blivit uppätna. BBC:s verifieringsgrupp har gått igenom alla stora tv-kanaler i USA och kan inte hitta något som sänts kring ämnet. Bild från annan stad spreds på internet Ryktet om att haitiska migranter börjat äta gäss tros ha börjat med en bild som lades upp på nätforumet Reddit för två månader sedan. Där ses en man gå omkring med en gås i handen. Bilden är dock inte tagen i Springfield, utan i staden Columbus, som ligger cirka sju mil bort. En annan händelse som fått spridning skedde i slutet på augusti. Då greps en kvinna i Ohio, misstänkt för att ha dödat och ätit en katt. Men kvinnan är amerikansk medborgare och har ingen koppling till Haiti. Händelsen utspelade sig också i staden Canton – 27 mil från Springfield. Vittnade på medborgarmöte Ryktet om att migranterna äter husdjur i just Springfield verkar sedan fått ny spinn i samband med ett medborgarmöte i staden den 27 augusti. En man som presenterar sig som influencer vittnar om att han sett migranter från Haiti äta ankor från parken, rapporterar Sky News. – De är i parken och tar ankor i nacken, skär av dem huvudet och går i väg med dem. De äter dem, säger mannen. En historia från en man i Springfield spreds även i lokala grupper på sociala medier. Mannen berättade att hans dotters vän hade sett hur migranter åt hennes katt och att myndigheterna sagt att migranter gjorde likadant med ankor och gäss. Spreds vidare av republikaner Ryktet om att migranterna åt husdjur i staden fick sen spridning, bland annat genom Trumps vicepresidentkandidat, JD Vance. Även andra tunga republikaner och republikanska konton spred ryktet – som enligt myndigheterna inte är sant. De lokala myndigheterna tillbakavisar ryktet och säger att det inte finns några belägg för att det är sant. Stadens borgmästare, Rob Rue sade även på ett medborgarmöte under tisdagen att det inte fanns några dokumenterade fall där migranter ätit husdjur. – Rykten som dessa tar fokus från de riktiga problem, sade Rue.

Zombies: A true story of Haitian Voodoo

In this episode we explore the true stories of Zombies of Haitian Voodoo culture, from French colonial rule to an exhaustive search for the source of a compound which could scientifically prove the creation of zombies by Ethnobotanist, Wade Davis. Most of this story summarizes details from Davis' two books on the subject; "The Serpent and the Rainbow" and "Passage of Darkness" which I really highly recommend if you found this interesting. The first is a lighter read, whilst the second a little more academic, but both well worth your time.

Why Haiti is Dying & the DR is Booming

Haiti, facing state collapse, is dominated by 200 armed gangs controlling up to 90% of Port-au-Prince, the capital. The government, weakened after President Moïse's assassination in 2021 and no elections since 2016, is powerless. Gangs blockade crucial imports, holding the country hostage. With Haiti's troubled history, the UN authorized an intervention led by Kenya, funded by the U.S., aiming to restore governmental control and enable elections. The neighboring Dominican Republic, in contrast, is constructing a wall to isolate itself from Haiti's escalating crisis...

The Haitian Revolution

In 1791 the slaves of the French colony of Sant-Domingue rose up against their colonial masters and after a long and bloody struggle, defeated them to found the state of Haiti. Led by charismatic leaders such as Toussaint Louverture it was the only example of a successful slave revolution and the state that was founded was one free of slavery. It was a conflict that sucked in several competing empires and was defining moment in the history of the Atlantic World. Marlene Daut, Professor of African Diaspora Studies at the University of Virginia, joins Dan for this fascinating episode of the podcast. They explore the slave economy and the terrible conditions that led to the uprising, how the French Revolution acted as an inspiration for the revolutionaries, how the slaves were able to emerge victorious, and the consequences of this monumental moment in history.

America and the Haiti Revolution

The revolution in Haiti freed the country from French control and created the first Black republic after years of fighting, in 1804. Leslie Alexander tells Don how the revolution became possible and why it had such an impact on the United States - which doubled in size following the Louisiana Purchase from France when the revolution was almost won; and whose white population feared a similar uprising by its own enslaved black community.Produced by Benjie Guy.

The Haitian Revolution

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Haitian Revolution. In 1791 an uprising began in the French colonial territory of St Domingue. Partly a consequence of the French Revolution and partly a backlash against the brutality of slave owners, it turned into a complex struggle involving not just the residents of the island but French, English and Spanish forces. By 1804 the former slaves had won, establishing the first independent state in Latin America and the first nation to be created as a result of a successful slave rebellion. But the revolution also created one of the world's most impoverished societies, a legacy which Haiti has struggled to escape.ContributorsKate Hodgson, Postdoctoral Research Fellow in French at the University of LiverpoolTim Lockley, Reader in American Studies at the University of WarwickKaren Salt, Fellow in History in the School of Language and Literature at the University of AberdeenProducer: Luke Mulhall.
