Haitian Political Conflict and Natural Disaster - The Alleluia Tribe Experience (Repeat)

Haiti's tumultuous past is marked by a persistent struggle against political instability, driven by deep-rooted issues like poverty, corruption, and weak governance structures. Over the years, the nation has weathered numerous coup d'états, dictatorships, and periods of intense political turmoil, exacerbating existing social and economic challenges and causing widespread suffering among its people.

But the challenges facing Haiti extend beyond political strife. The country is also highly susceptible to natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, and flooding. The 2010 earthquake, in particular, wreaked havoc on the capital city of Port-au-Prince and its surroundings, ranking among the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Its aftermath saw significant loss of life, the displacement of millions, and extensive infrastructure damage.

However, amidst the adversity, Haiti's resilience shines through. Understanding the underlying causes of its political conflict and vulnerability to natural disasters is paramount for paving the way towards sustainable development and lasting peace.

Join us as we engage with the US Non-Profit Alleluia Tribe, delving into their experiences in Haiti and exploring their strategies for moving forward in the face of these formidable challenges.
