>>> HOMELESSNESS WAS BAD BEFORE, BUT COVID JUST PUSHED IT THROUGH
THE ROOF.
>> THERE'S A MORATORIUM, BUT --
>> NO. IT'S MY FUCKING HOUSE.
>> I WILL TELL YOU, MAN, IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE.
>> THAT'S A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY THAT YOU CAN BE
HARMED OR INJURED.
>> I WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THAT WE ARE JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, WE
JUST DON'T HAVE A HOUSE.
>>> IN HAITI THE FIGHTING HAS REACHED A NEW LEVEL OF
INTENSITY.
>> SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT HERE THEY STARTED FIRING.
WHO IS BEHIND THE SURGE IN STREET VIOLENCE THAT WE'RE
SEEING? [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> WE WANT JUSTICE!
>>> SO IN SOUTH L.A. WHERE PEOPLE ARE BEING EVICTED EVERY
DAY WE JUST GOT A CALL ABOUT ONE MAN WHO IS IMMINENTLY GOING TO
BE EVICTED AND WE ARE COMING TO SEE WHAT HE'S DOING TO PREPARE
FOR IT.
>> I FEEL TERRIBLE, DEPRESSED, STRESSED, SAD.
I MEAN, MY SON -- MY SON LIVES HERE, YOU KNOW?
I CAN'T STOP IT, BUT I COULD TRY TO.
>> FOR A YEAR NOW HENRY SAYS HIS LANDLORD HAS BEEN PRESSURING HIM
TO LEAVE BY OFFERING HIM A SMALL BUYOUT.
NOW DESPITE HENRY MAKING HIS RENT PAYMENTS, THE LANDLORD IS
COMING AT HIM WITH AN EVICTION LAWYER, CLAIMING HE BUILT AN
UNAUTHORIZED SHED IN THE BACKYARD.
HE HAS NOW BARRICADED HIMSELF IN TO TRY TO PREVENT A LOCKOUT.
THE LANDLORD DIDN'T RESPOND TO OUR REQUEST FOR COMMENT.
>> IT'S FUCKING KILLING ME. IT'S DESTROYING ME.
I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF HIS GOALS AS WELL, TO MESS WITH
ME LIKE THAT. TO THE POINT THAT SUICIDE COMES
TO THOUGHT.
>> THE PANDEMIC HAS DRAMATICALLY EXACERBATED HOUSING INSECURITY
IN THE U.S. AND NOW THE NATION IS STARING DOWN THE BARREL OF
THE WORST HOMELESSNESS CRISIS IN ITS HISTORY.
BY SUMMER WITHOUT SWEEPING RENT AND MORTGAGE FORGIVENESS AN
ESTIMATED 30 MILLION AMERICANS COULD LOSE THEIR HOMES.
AN EVICTION MORATORIUMS ENACTED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO PREVENT
LANDLORDS FROM KICKING OUT STRUGGLING TENANTS HAS IN SOME
CASES ACTUALLY MADE IT EASIER FOR SOME TO EXPLOIT LOOPHOLES
AND EVICT WHOMEVER THEY PLEASE. FOUR DAYS AFTER WE MET HENRY THE
SHERIFFS ARRIVED TO EVICT HIM.
>> OPEN THE DOOR, PLEASE.
>> THE POLICE ARE TRYING TO GET INTO THE HOUSE HERE WHERE HENRY
IS. HE'S GOT HIMSELF BARRICADED
INSIDE. THERE IS A GROUP HERE THAT ARE
PROTESTING AND TRYING TO GET THE POLICE TO GO AWAY, BUT IT
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEY'RE GOING ANYWHERE.
>> THAT IS MY SHIT. FUCK YOU.
I WILL SUE YOUR FUCKING ADS S I WILL SUE YOUR FUCKING ADSSSES.
YOU CAN'T BE BREAKING DOORS. I WON'T FUCKING LEAVE.
>> THIS DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU ANYMORE
ANYM ANYMORE.
>> YOU DON'T NEED TO BREAK MY SHIT.
>> WE WILL SECURE IT FOR 15 DAYS.
>> NO. NO.
IT'S MY FUCKING HOUSE. GIVE ME ONE MORE FUCKING CHANCE.
>> BEFORE COVID HIT AT LEAST 150,000 PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA
WERE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, NOW THE PANDEMIC IS PROJECTED TO
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF NEWLY HOMELESS LIKE HENRY.
ACCORDING TO ONE STUDY THE PANDEMIC RECESSION OVER THE NEXT
FEW YEARS COULD CAUSE AN 86% JUMP IN HOMELESSNESS IN L.A.
COUNTY AND ALMOST 50% ACROSS THE NATION, THE WORST IN MOD HE WERE
AMERICAN HISTORY.
>> SO WE'RE IN McARTHUR PARK WHICH IS ONE OF THE GROWING
POPULATIONS WHERE PEOPLE WITHOUT HOMES ARE COMING AND LIVING
INSIDE THE PARK. THERE IS A CHURCH SERVICE HERE
AND WE'RE GOING TO CHECK IT OUT AND TALK TO THE PASTOR HERE WHO
PUTS IT ON EVERY WEEK. [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> WE USED TO DO LIKE 150, 135, 150 PEOPLE, NOW WE'RE SERVING
OVER 300.
>> WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE COMING NOW?
>> I WOULD SAY PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, THE 30% IS PEOPLE BEING ON
THE STREET ALL THE TIME. SINCE LAST YEAR I SEE THAT IT'S
NOT JUST SINGLE MEN OR SINGLE WOMAN, IT'S FAMILIES INVOLVED,
KIDS INVOLVED, AND I KNOW A LOT OF FAMILIES THEY'RE LIVING IN
THEIR CARS BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS NEXT NOW?
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE HERE FOR THESE PEOPLE?
>> I TELL YOU, MAN, IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE.
IT'S GOING TO BE ALMOST A YEAR AND FOR THESE PEOPLE TO
RECUPERATE WHAT THEY HAD LOST, THEY HAVE TO START ALL OVER
AGAIN. AGAIN.
>> SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE HEADED TO SAFE PARKING, WHICH IS A
NONPROFIT THAT IS HELPING FIND LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT OPEN UP
THEIR PARKING LOTS FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING IN THEIR CARS TO
STAY SO THAT THEY CAN STAY SOMEWHERE SAFE OVERNIGHT AND NOT
GET HARASSED BY THE POLICE. WHAT'S IT LIKE FOR YOU TO SEE
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE COME HERE LATELY?
>> IT'S DIFFICULT. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THIS IS
TRANSITIONAL TO THE FACT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN
CONSIDER THEMSELVES HOMELESS BECAUSE THEY ARE LIKE I'M NOT
LIVING IN A TENT. IT'S THE THING WHERE YOU CAN
WALK AND YOU CAN LOCK THE DOOR AND AT LEAST YOU CAN THINK TO
YOURSELF YOU ARE SAFE. THIS IS THEIR LAST HOPE.
>> IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, ESPECIALLY L.A., RECREATIONAL
VEHICLE SALES ARE SKYROCKETING BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW THEY CAN
AFFORD A RETIREMENT. HOMELESSNESS WAS BAD BEFORE, BUT
COVID JUST PUSHED IT THROUGH THE ROOF.
WITH A LOT OF THE PEOPLE WHO USE OUR SERVICES, THEY ARE
HOMELESSNESS FROM BEING IN A VEHICLE TO GOING IN A TENT COULD
BE A SIMPLE ENGINE FAILURE? IN L.A. COUNTY SOME 19,000
PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN THEIR CARS. MEL'S NGO PROVIDES AROUND 190
SPOTS A NIGHT. THEY ALSO OFFER POP UP SHOWERS
IN PARKING LOTS FOR THE THOUSANDS CUT OFF FROM BASIC
RESOURCES. MANY OF WHOM STILL NEED TO BE
PRESENTABLE FOR WORK EACH DAY, LIKE SHADY MALLORY WHO IS A
LICENSED HAIRSTYLIST.
>> I'M HERE TODAY FOR A SHOWER, AS USUAL.
>> WHAT YOU GOT TODAY? SOCKS?
MAKE SURE YOU SHOWER.
>> OKAY. I WILL BE BACK.
CALL ME, I WILL BE IN MY CAR.
>> HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN YOUR CAR?
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING HERE?
>> DECEMBER 23rd, 2019. I'VE BEEN INDEPENDENT ALL MY
LIFE. IF IT WASN'T FOR MY SKILL, I
PROBABLY WOULD REALLY BE WITHOUT ANYTHING.
>> THERE IS A MISCONCEPTION ABOUT PEOPLE HERE THAT THEY ARE
NOT WORKING, BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING HERE TO SHOWER SO
THAT THEY CAN GO TO WORK AFTER CLEAN AND READY.
>> JUST BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN A HOME AND YOU GO TO WORK EVERY
DAY, WELL, I'M HOMELESS AND SHOWER AND COME TO WORK EVERY
DAY. WE HAVE A PAYCHECK, WE GET PAID
THE SAME DAYS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME STABILITY OUTSIDE OF
WORKING. JUST KNOWING THAT WE'RE HERE TO
TAKE A SHOWER, GO STRAIGHT TO WORK GIVES US THE CONFIDENCE
THAT WE NEED.
>> BUT MANY OF TODAY'S SHORT-TERM HOUSING SOLUTIONS ARE
OVERSHADOWED BY THE ECONOMY'S LONG-TERM PROBLEM.
NORTH OF L.A. IS OREGON, A STATE THAT TIES CALIFORNIA IN
HOMELESSNESS PER CAPITA DESPITE BEING A TENTH OF THE POPULATION.
IN THE CITY OF SALEM WHERE 70% OF THE HOMELESS POPULATION IS
UNSHELTERED, ENTIRE MAKE SHIFT COMMUNITIES HAVE POPPED UP.
JUST BEHIND A LOCAL WALMART IS CASCADE GATEWAY PARK WHERE ABOUT
300 PEOPLE, SOME CHRONICALLY HOMELESS AND OTHERS NEWLY HOME
LESSED ARE PACKING TOGETHER IN ENCAMPMENTS.
>> WHAT WAS IT LIKE WHEN YOU FIRST GOT HERE?
>> VERY TOUGH. WE CAME HERE LOOKING FOR HELP
FROM OUR FAMILY, OUR FAMILY WAS IN THE SAME PREDICAMENT, I MEAN,
THEY WERE ONE PAYCHECK FROM BEING OUT ON THE STREET AS WELL
AS US.
>> SINCE LOSING HIS JOB AS AN AUTO MECHANIC WHEN THE PANDEMIC
BEGAN AARON HAS BEEN LIVING ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK WITH HIS
FAMILY. HE'S EMBLEMATIC OF THE AMERICANS
WHO ARE ONE PAYCHECK AWAY FROM LOSING EVERYTHING.
>> BACK OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BRIDGE, THAT'S WHERE A
LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE PARK FOR A LONGER PERIOD
OF TIME ARE STAYING.
>> THEY PUSH BACK LIKE A LITTLE DEEPER IN?
>> YES. THE NEW PEOPLE OF THE PARK,
ESPECIALLY THE FAMILIES, THEY LIKE TO BE CLOSE TO THE ENTRANCE
IN CASE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN. THEY CAN HAVE FASTER EMERGENCY
RESPONSE.
>> WHAT ARE SOME OF THE DANGERS THAT YOU'VE SEEN HERE?
>> I'VE SEEN PEOPLE GET STABBED. WE HAD KIDS COME UP MISSING HERE
AND ACTUALLY TAKEN BY PEOPLE AND TAKEN INTO THE WOODS.
THAT'S A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY THAT YOU CAN BE HARMED OR
INJURED ON A NIGHTLY BASIS.
>> SO THIS IS JUST LIKE THE WILD WEST HERE, YOU'RE JUST KIND OF
ON YOUR OWN?
>> FOR THE MOST PART IT DEFINITELY IS.
>> HOW HAS IT CHANGED SINCE THE WORLD SHUT DOWN?
>> THE POPULATION IS GROWING QUITE A BIT NOW THAT COVID HAS
HAPPENED WE HAVE LOTS OF FAMILIES HERE, LOTS OF COUPLES
HERE. THEY'RE SETTING UP FOR LONGER
TERM. THEY'RE NOT SHORT TERM STAYING
AND LEAVING OVERNIGHT, THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO SET UP
BASICALLY THEIR WHOLE LIVES OVER IN A TENT.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME PANCAKES, EGGS, SAUSAGE?
BISCUIT?
>> THE PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESS LIVE FOR,
YOURSELF IN THIS SITUATION?
>> I HAD A BIASED VIEW, I HAD ALWAYS SEEN THEM AS BEING LAZY
OR DRUNKS OR ADDICTS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
NEVER REALLY SAW THEM AS BEING EQUAL.
I COME TO FIND THAT THEY ARE JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, THEY
ARE JUST NORMAL PEOPLE THAT WERE LIVING NORMAL LIVES AND THEY
JUST LOST EVERYTHING.
>> THIS IS THE OREGON STATE FAIRGROUNDS PAVILION, THIS IS
WHERE THEY LIKE TO HAVE ALL THEIR BIG CONCERTS, EVERY HIGH
SCHOOL GRADUATION HAPPENS HERE. THEY CAN BRING MONSTER TRUCKS IN
HERE.
>> DJ VINCENT IS A SALEM PASTOR THAT HAS SPENT THE LAST 13 YEARS
SERVING THE HOMELESS POPULATION HERE.
WITH A SHARP INCREASE IN NUMBERS SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN THE
CITY HAS TASKED HIM TO FIND SOMEWHERE NEW TO HOUSE PEOPLE.
>> SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS A TOTAL OF 50 SQUARES, 15 X 15
FEET, AND EVERY HOUSEHOLD THAT COMES IN IS GOING TO GET THEIR
OWN SQUARE.
>> AND WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THIS SPACE AND TO HAVE
THESE LIKE SPREAD OUT AND HAVE THEM ORGANIZED?
>> WE WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE GOT THEIR OWN
PLACE TO BE AND THAT THEY'RE ALLOWED TO BE THERE, THEY CAN BE
AT PEACE THERE, THEY CAN BE SAFE IN TERMS OF COVID AND WE'RE NOT
GOING TO JUST ASK THEM TO PACK UP THEIR STUFF AND LEAVE THE
NEXT MORNING.
>> FOR MANY LIVING IN THEIR CARS WHAT STARTED AS A LAST RESORT IS
LOOKING LIKE A PERMANENT WAY OF LIFE.
FOR YEARS GLORIA HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF SHELTERS, EVICTIONS HAVE
RUINED HER CREDIT SCORE AND WHAT LITTLE MONEY SHE MAKES DOESN'T
GET HER VERY FAR. THIS FAIRGROUND OFFERS HER THE
HOPE OF GETTING BACK ON HER FEET.
WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO YOUR CAR?
>> WE GOT EVICTED AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND A PLACE SINCE.
I'M HOPING TO BE ABLE TO SAVE UP FOR A MOTOR HOME.
I'VE TRIED TO GET INTO HOUSING AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY JUST
NEVER CALLS BACK. I'M LIKE I'M DONE, YOU KNOW, I
JUST CAN'T TRUST PEOPLE.
>> HI.
>> I'M CHRISTY.
>> HI. I WILL NEED A TENT AND THERE'S
TWO OF US AND A PUPPY.
>> I GREW UP, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT GOOD GRADES, YOU WENT TO
COLLEGE, GOT MARRIED, HAD KIDS. I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT AND IT
STILL CAME OUT WRONG.
>> CUDDLES.
>> HEY, CUDDLES.
>> YEAH, THIS IS GOING TO BE US FOR A WHILE.
>> SO THIS IS BLUE, SO WE WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT SECTION
BECAUSE IT'S GREEN. THIS IS US, MS. CUDDLES.
>> YOU GUYS ARE DOING AMAZING WORK GETTING THIS ALL SET UP.
>> YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW I'M AT THE POINT WHERE IT'S READY TO
START FALLING BACK TOGETHER.
>> WHILE GLORIA IS HOPEFUL IT'S ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX.
SHE'S ONLY ALLOWED TO STAY FOR 90 DAYS AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH
PROGRESS IS MADE IT'S CLEAR THAT THE COUNTRY IS NOW ENTERING A
NEW ERA OF HOMELESSNESS.
>> SO WHAT'S IT LIKE IN HERE?
>> IT'S COMFORTABLE. I CAN RELAX.
>> YEAH.
>> JUST LIKE A BIG SIGH OF RELIEF.
>> WHAT ARE YOU HOPING FOR, UNSHELTERED PEOPLE FOR THE NEXT
FEW YEARS?
>> I WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THAT WE ARE JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, WE
JUST DON'T HAPPEN TO HAVE A HOUSE.
THE PANDEMIC IS NOT GOING TO LAST FOREVER.
PEOPLE ARE STILL GOING TO BE HERE.
WE'RE STILL GOING TO NEED JOBS AND, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST HAVE TO
BE HOPEFUL.
[ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> IN HAITI THERE'S REAL RESENTMENT AND ANGER AT YEARS OF
GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION AND CHAOS. [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> HAITI IS A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR TRADE PARTNER WITH THE
U.S. AND A STRATEGIC POLITICAL ALLY.
THE CAPITAL CITY OF PORT OF PRINCE IS HOME TO MORE THAN TWO
MILLION PEOPLE SPREAD OUT ACROSS DOZENS OF NEIGHBORHOODS DIVIDED
BY POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC FAULT LINES.
VIOLENCE AND POLITICS HAVE LONG GONE HAND IN HAND HERE, BUT
RECENTLY THE FIGHTING THAT'S ENGULFED THE CAPITAL HAS REACHED
A NEW LEVEL OF INTENSITY, A RESULT, THESE MEN SAY, OF
HAITI'S U.S.-BACKED PRESIDENT.
>> DO YOU THINK THE PRESIDENT IS IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THE
SURGE IN VIOLENCE HERE? [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> THE PRESIDENT IS A BUSINESSMAN WHO ROSE TO POWER IN
2017 AFTER AN ELECTION AND REELECTION THAT WERE WIDELY
CONDEMNED BY HIS ON NENTS AS RANKED.
AS LEADER OF THE PHT PARTY HE PROMISED FOOD ON EVERY PLATE AND
MONEY IN EVERY POCKET. INSTEAD HAITIANS GOT AN
ADMINISTRATION HIT WITH MORE CORRUPTION SCANDALS AND
VIOLENCE. HIS CRITICS SAY HE'S EMBEZZLED
MILLIONS IN PUBLIC FUNDS AND IS ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE COUNTRY
INTO AN AUTOCRACY. NOW THERE'S DISAGREEMENT AS TO
WHEN HIS FIVE-YEAR TERM ENDS. THE OPPOSITION CLAIMS IT SHOULD
HAVE ENDED IN FEBRUARY BUT HE SAYS THAT BECAUSE THE CHAOTIC
ELECTION PROCESS DELAYED HIS INAUGURATION HE HAS ANOTHER YEAR
IN POWER. THE IMPASSE HAS PLUNGED HAITI
INTO CRISIS.
SO WE JUST GOT TO BEL-AIR, WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS FIGHTING
HERE, SO WE'RE JUST HUNKERED DOWN WAITING TO SEE WHAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN. [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> PIERRE HAS OPINION INVESTIGATING THE LINKS HE
CLAIMS EXIST BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT, THE GANGS AND THE
VIOLENCE UNDER THE PRESIDENT. TO UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTIONS,
HE SAYS, LOOK TO UNDERSERVED EASILY INTIMIDATED NEIGHBORHOODS
WITH THE POWER TO SWING ELECTIONS.
NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE LA SALINE. [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> THE GOVERNMENT STRONGLY DENIED ANY INVOLVEMENT AND
DESPITE A POLICE INVESTIGATION NO ONE HAS BEEN ARRESTED.
A WARRANT WAS ISSUED FOR ONE MAN WHO WITNESSES SAY HELPED PLAN
THE LA SALINE ATTACK, BUT IT'S NEVER BEEN SERVED.
THAT MAN WAS AN ACTIVE POLICEMAN AT THE TIME OF THE MASSACRE AND
A HENCHMAN OF THE PRESIDENT. HIS NAME IS JIMMY BARBECUE.
[ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> HIS POWER IN PORT OF PRINCE HAS ONLY GROWN, OPERATING WITH
SEEMING IMPUNITY HE CREATED THE G-9 UNITING A COALITION OF NINE
SEPARATE GANGS, THOSE GANGS HAVE BEEN NAMED IN REPORTS AS BEING
BEHIND A SERIES OF ATTACKS ON NEIGHBORHOODS KNOWN FOR OPPOSING
THE GOVERNMENT. THIS WOMAN LIVES NEAR LA SALINE.
DAYS BEFORE WE SPOKE TO HER SHE SAID ARMED MEN RAIDED THE
NEIGHBORHOOD. [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> HE CLAIMS HE WASN'T PART OF ANY MASSACRE BUT INVESTIGATIONS
BY THE NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENSE NETWORK AND THE UNITED
NATIONS BOTH IMPLICATE HIM AND HIS ORGANIZATION IN VIOLENCE.
DESPITE THIS HE CONTINUES TO PROMOTE HIMSELF AS SOMEONE WHO
CAN BRING ORDER TO THE STREETS. [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> THOSE HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS HAVE YET TO MATERIALIZE, BUT THE
G-9 HAS CONTROL OVER LARGE
PARTS -- [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> YOU HAVE A REPUTATION IN PARTS OF THIS COMMUNITY FOR
BEING BEHIND THE MASSACRE. HOW DO YOU FEEL WALKING AROUND
HERE RIGHT NOW? [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> DO YOU THINK PEOPLE IN THIS AREA FEAR YOU?
[ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> GLADYS HAS LIVED IN BEL-AIR FOR 27 YEARS, IT'S WHERE SHE
RAISED HER 18-YEAR-OLD SON DANNY, ALONG WITH THREE OTHER
CHILDREN. JUST DAYS AGO SHE SAID HE WAS
KILLED. [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> BARBECUE.
>> WHO DO YOU BLAME FOR YOUR SON'S DEATH?
>> BARBECUE. [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> HATE YES HAS A LONG HISTORY OF CASTING OUT ITS OPPRESSORS
AND AS TODAY'S OPPOSITION HARDENS THERE ARE SIGNS THAT A
TIPPING POINT MAY BE COMING. [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> THIS MAN RAN AGAINST THE PRESIDENT IN THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION. [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> PRESIDENT MOYES IS DETERMINED TO HOLD ON TO POWER UNTIL AT
LEAST 2022 AND BOTH THE U.S. AND THE U.N. AGREE, CITING THAT
HAITI'S CONSTITUTION SETS PRESIDENTIAL TERMS BEGINNING
FROM INAUGURATION DATES, NOT ELECTION DATES.
STILL THE SITUATION IS FAR FROM BEING RESOLVED.
IT'S A CRUEL PARADOX OF HAITIAN CLIQUES TODAY AT A TIME WHEN
LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE ARE DEMANDING RADICAL CHANGE, OTHERS
SEEM CAPABLE OF HOLDING ENTIRE COMMUNITIES HOSTAGE AT GUNPOINT.
[ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>> WHAT HAPPENS IF THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T LEAVE OFFICE?
[ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
