After the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission stopped a boat full of migrants and guns off the coast of Florida, analysts say, guns from Florida are also flowing to Haiti.

A 2023 report by the UN found a majority of violent Haitian gangs are armed with weapons they bought in the US and especially guns they bought in Florida.
Recent operations by the FBI and prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice has led to federal convictions for Florida residents accused of buying high-powered guns to arm the gangs in Haiti.
"It's kind of a perfect storm," said retired FBI agent Jim Derrane who spoke with FOX 13 about law enforcement efforts to stop gun smuggling.
"These international gangs and these criminal organizations have very sophisticated means and networks to be able to facilitate smuggling, whether it's through shipments, out of the ports, airlines, different things like that. Haiti has a very open border as well," he said.

Earlier this year, the self-described king of the notoriously violent 400 Mawozo Gang, pleaded guilty to his role in a sophisticated scheme of illegally running firearms from Florida to the island.
The U.S. Attorney’s office says Joly Germaine orchestrated the illegal gun purchases to arm the same gang accused of kidnapping 16 U.S. citizens.
The FBI arrested two Florida residents for purchasing high-power rifles, handguns and shotguns at Florida gun shops around Orlando, then smuggling them to Haiti, in what’s described as an illegal strawman scheme.
One of those residents, Jocelyn Dor, was sentenced on Feb. 28 to five years in prison.
"In this case, the individual went in knowing they were going to provide the guns to somebody else and particularly somebody else in a foreign country, and attested to the fact that they were going to buy it for themselves. So, you know, there are numerous gun laws, even in the ‘lax gun law states.’ And it is incumbent to enforce the laws that we have, in order to minimize the smuggling as much as possible," said Derrane.
Germaine is expected to be sentenced in federal court in May.

These are the individuals who are behind the chaos in Haiti. However the mainstream media wont highlight them because it doesnt fit narrative.
Black Agenda Report |To Solve the Crisis Permanently, Force the US to Stop Backing Notorious White Warlords in Haiti - Rezo Nòdwès
Lundi 17 octobre 2022 ((rezonodwes.com))-- There exists a numerically-miniscule but economically-powerful set of inbreeding oligarch families in Haiti , who are not descendants of deported and enslaved Africans, like 99% of Haitians. The first ancestors of these “white oligarchs” arrived on the...

Seems like some hypothesis or something going on. So some leaders are claiming to be for the people and are fighting against the wealthy parasites. Over here we voluntarily provide for the wealthy white parasites and their so called successful blacks. In America you can actually be what you want to be as long as they control you. It is like Jonestown you are controlled by the psychotic drugs that they secretly put in you, all to praise a white devil pretending to be God or a real man while they work to kill the manhood of all the males especially the black male.
America is locking down the whole world. Nobody could do anything when America put puppets in charge of Panama. They have always said Haiti was cursed for revolting against slavery.
Some of the same brainwashing they used in Rwanda they are using here with a lot of difference.
Another plane carrying US citizens fleeing Haiti lands in Florida
By Sarah Dewberry, Jennifer Hansler, Christina Maxouris and Eva Rothenberg, CNNNew York CNN —
A plane carrying 21 Americans fleeing Haiti arrived in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday night, the latest in a series of US-chartered flights from the embattled Caribbean nation, which has descended into chaos amid rampant gang violence and political instability.
Florida’s Division of Emergency Management announced the plane’s arrivalon Sunday, noting that, to date, a total of 35 Americans have been “rescued by state-coordinated emergency flights.”
According to the agency, those who landed in Orlando had access to numerous resources, including meals and water, lodging, transportation, basic health and medical screenings, phones and ID replacement services.
“The Division is working around the clock through every available avenue to get our residents home,” Executive Director Kevin Guthrie said in a news release. “Governor (Ron) DeSantis directed us to tackle every challenge in our path and not stop until the mission is complete.”
DeSantis issued an executive order on March 15 declaring a state of emergency in Florida after the agency received numerous requests from Floridians who were stranded in Haiti.
Hundreds of US citizens remain in Haiti and nearly 1,000 had filled out crisis intake forms as of March 19, State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel previously told CNN. That number includes people who either want to leave or want to receive more information from US officials.
The first Florida-organized flight brought 14 people from Haiti to Orlando Sanford International Airport last week. Guthrie had said on Wednesday roughly 360 Floridians remain in Haiti.
Federal officials have also been working to evacuate American citizens. On March 17, the State Department said it flew dozens of Americans from Cap-Haitien, a city on Haiti’s north coast, to Miami. On Wednesday, the State Department said it expects more than 30 Americans will be able to board the US government flights each day they are chartered.
Americans on these flights must agree to reimburse the US government for the cost, which the State Department has said won’t exceed the price of a reasonable commercial flight before the crisis. DeSantis said people traveling on the plane that landed in Florida would not be charged.
Conditions in Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince have grossly deteriorated amid the unprecedented assault, which pushed Prime Minister Ariel Henry to announce his resignation. Criminal groups have choked off the city’s supply of food, fuel and water, and blocked access to the port and roads leading out of the city, leaving residents to shelter in their homes as the streets become grounds for urban warfare between the gangs and Haiti’s National Police.
Most Haitians don’t have the option to leave.
A small class of wealthy foreigners and diplomats are among the few able to charter private evacuation helicopters out of the city. Hundreds of people have put their names on lists to flee Port-au-Prince by air, several pilots told CNN last week, when seats on private flights had price tags as high as $10,000.
Typically packed streets of the capital have become ghostlands as residents rarely leave their homes due to the threat of violence, CNN crews have reported. Attacks and arson have also displaced thousands of people who have cowded into dozens of displacement camps across the city.
As vital food and water supplies dwindle, the United Nations said it was working to set up an air bridge between Port-au-Prince and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, to bring necessities to the city.
Haiti: Gang leader Jimmy 'Barbecue' Chérizier demands talks role

Jimmy 'Barbecue' Chérizier has emerged has one of the most powerful armed gang leaders in Haiti
One of Haiti's most powerful gang leaders says he would consider laying down weapons if armed groups were allowed to take part in talks to establish a new government.
Groups led by Jimmy Chérizier, also known as Barbecue, are in control of most of the capital Port-au-Prince.
He predicted the violence which has gripped Haiti in recent weeks could escalate in the coming days.
However, he told Sky News: "We are ready for solutions."
Haiti, an impoverished Caribbean nation home to more than 11 million people, has been without a prime minister since 12 March.
Ariel Henry resigned after being blocked by armed gangs from returning from Kenya, where he had signed a deal to import a multinational security force in a bid to restore law and order.
Gangs have capitalised on the power vacuum and expanded their control over swathes of the country, which has effectively been rendered lawless in places.
A Presidential Transitional Council has been established to draw up a plan to return Haiti to democratic rule, backed by other Caribbean nations and the US.
Mr Chérizier - the most prominent figure in a loose alliance of gangs known as Viv Ansanm (Live Together), which is in control of around 80% of Port-au-Prince - believes his group should have a seat at the table in any future talks.
He told Sky News: "If the international community comes with a detailed plan where we can sit together and talk, but they do not impose on us what we should decide, I think that the weapons could be lowered."
He said he was "not proud" of the spiralling violence in Haiti, and warned the crisis could continue if groups like his - which rail against "corrupt politicians" - are not part of a future government.
He also said any Kenyan forces drafted into the country to bolster security would be considered "aggressors" and "invaders".
The situation in Haiti has been described as "cataclysmic" by the United Nations in a report issued earlier this week.
It said there had been more than 1,500 people killed and 800 injured in the first three months of 2024.
The report detailed the "harrowing practices" of the gangs, which are accused of using extreme violence and sexual abuse as a means of punishment and control.
Aid groups have reported difficulty in getting food and water into the capital, warning that millions are unable to find sustenance, with some on the verge of famine.
- The Caribbean country shares a border with the Dominican Republic and has an estimated population of 11.5 million
- It has a land area of 27,800 sq km, which is slightly smaller than Belgium and about the same size as the US state of Maryland
- Chronic instability, dictatorships and natural disasters in recent decades have left Haiti the poorest nation in the Americas
- An earthquake in 2010 killed more than 200,000 people and caused extensive damage to infrastructure and the economy
- A UN peacekeeping force was put in place in 2004 to help stabilise the country and only withdrew in 2017
- In July 2021, President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated by unidentified gunmen in Port-au-Prince. Amid political stalemate, the country continues to be wracked by unrest and gang violence
The Haiti situation is so layered I haven't totally figured it out yet.
Definitely, so many pieces it’s like what thee fuck.
I’m curious if Haiti have some untapped precious materials or something
“France has evacuated 170 of its citizens, 70 other Europeans – including staff from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) – and others out of Haiti in light of the country’s security situation”
Why is France always around when shit is going sideways for black countries.
its usually former colonies of France - France is a parasite - sows unrest to be able to still leech the resources of its former colonies
for over the last century France wouldn't have an economy and would be destitute w/o the wealth it steals from African and Caribbean nations
France still robbing and stealing from its "former" African ...
@Mask I have always felt this is the answer to wtf is going on in Haiti.
I just need to keep reading until I feel I know the entire story.
Be careful with this fuck face because he claimed he was kidnapped because he is blanc (white) and he is none for going to dangerous areas to film
I agree with you. There’s two nations that have me puzzled Haiti and Syria.
It’s really head scratching when I think those places
