like the other islands in the Caribbean are pebbles in the ocean, one wave, and poof you all are gone." He may be right but look at Syria today, it is a shadow of what it once was. None of us are immune to the powers of change, whether it be economic or of pertaining to natural disasters.
Imagine
So let us imagine, that two years after a tropical storm or Hurricane a volcanic eruption happened on our island. Splitting the island in two; with lava, swallowing up houses and infrastructure. Endless of our children are left Orphaned and Homeless. CNN has sent envoys to broadcast at first hand the severity of our plight. We are now the fore-front of every newspaper on the planet. Many charitable organizations are sprouting out of places we had never heard of before , in our names. America is sending food as aid, which our government sells to supermarkets , which then sells it to us. We have been reduced to a new level of begging which he had only seen before on televised programs in the slums of Somalia and India.
The United Nations
Then the united Nations send an army of soldiers from Bangladesh, Brazil, Nepal, Nigeria, Sri Lanka and Uruguay, to stabilize our country, rebuilding shelters providing water treatment facilities and healthcare. These soldiers have diplomatic clearance in any country they serve. Which allows them to not be detained by the law or customs in that country. Therefore, if they were to commit a crime they will be tried in their country of origin. Their contracted mission is from one to two years in our country. Sex Ring
Our children are hungry and wanders the streets daily. These soldiers take our children to their barracks and offer them (the children) juice and biscuits in exchange for sex. Children as young as 12, who don't even have breast yet, are being passed around between 50 soldiers in a camp. After 2 years , another victim says that she have had sex with more than 200 United Nation Peacekeepers. Little boys as young as 9 are being sodomized and video recorded on cellphones for the entertainment of these Soldiers. In the community they call it survival sex as it help to calm down the hunger.
Rape Victims
Out of every 12 sex crimes performed by the United Nation Soldiers only one is reported. bringing the total amount of reports to only 2000 cases. Most of the Victims do not report the rapes because they know nothing will be done ,then they would have to come face to face with their rapist again in the community , who will beat them like what has happened before or may even kill them. There have been more than 900 pregnancies and rape babies born from the United Nations Peace keepers, who leave the country and the young women single mothers. One victim named Beatrice says, "sometimes I look at my half-black baby sleeping and I just want to strangle him."Not Real People
These events which you have imagined are happening now. Today, (April 13th, 2017). In two days on Saturday April 15, the United Nations will be repatriating 250 of its soldiers to Uruguay. There are thousands more left in Haiti, and the sex crimes continues and no arrests are being made. For many of us, Haitians are not real people therefore they don't need human rights. What is happening today in Haiti is as normal as what we see happening to hens on a chicken farm. We can turn a blind eye or a deaf ear, as though nothing was done or said. When one of our people die, it creates an uproar, when a thousand Haitians die, it is nothing.
