More than 230 Kenyan police officers touched down

More than 230 Kenyan police officers touched down in #PortauPrince on Monday, injecting what we believe is fresh momentum into Haiti’s beleaguered battle against entrenched criminal gangs. The arrival marks a moment for the newly minted Gang Suppression Force (GSF), a UN Security Council-backed initiative designed to wrest control of gang-dominated territories and pave the way for stability ahead of the 2026 elections.
The GSF, succeeding the under-resourced Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS), promises a more robust response: an expanded mandate for proactive territorial reclamation, intelligence-driven operations, and coordination with Haiti’s National Police and Armed Forces.
“This deployment is not just numbers, it’s a lifeline for our people,” said Laurent Saint-Cyr, head of Haiti’s Presidential Transitional Council, in a welcoming address at Toussaint Louverture International Airport. He praised the #Kenyan officers’ discipline, honed from elite units like the General Service Unit and Rapid Deployment Unit, and underscored their role in joint patrols targeting hotspots in the West Department and Artibonite Valley.
The contingent’s integration into the GSF, the first foreign unit under its banner, comes as part of a structured rotation. Roughly 100 Kenyan personnel, wrapping up a grueling one-year stint, boarded flights home to jubilant scenes at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Dignitaries, including Presidential Security Advisor Monica Juma and Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat, hailed the returnees for their “professionalism amid peril,” while emphasizing the need for seamless handovers to deny gangs any breathing room.
Kenya, which pledged leadership to the mission in 2023, now fields over 700 officers in Haiti, the most significant contributor by far. President William Ruto, fresh from a U.S. visit where he rallied support for the initiative, reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment last week, thanking the incoming Trump administration for bolstering resources. “We stand with Haiti not as outsiders, but as partners in reclaiming dignity,” Ruto stated during a peace treaty signing in Washington.

#LunionSuiteUpdate - The President of the Dominica

#LunionSuiteUpdate - The President of the Dominican Republic, #LuisAbinader, described the death of 11-year-old Stephora Anne-Mircie Joseph as “painful” and “very sad” during his weekly press conference on Monday.⁠
⁠
President Abinader emphasized that the Public Ministry must conduct a thorough investigation in strict accordance with the law, regardless of the victim’s nationality.⁠
⁠
The sixth-grade student died on November 14, 2025, during a school-organized excursion to a private ranch near Santiago de los Caballeros. Preliminary findings indicate that Stephora drowned in a swimming pool at Hacienda Los Caballos while on a reward trip for high-achieving students from the Instituto Integral Leonardo Da Vinci private school.⁠
⁠
Four staff members from the school, Francisca Josefina Tavarez Vélez, Gisela González, Vilma Altagracia Vargas Morel, and Yris del Carmen Reyes Adame, have been arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter due to alleged negligence in supervision and safety protocols.⁠
⁠
An autopsy by the National Institute of Forensic Sciences (INACIF) confirmed the cause of death as mechanical asphyxiation by drowning. The investigation remains ongoing.⁠
⁠
Haiti’s Ministère des Haïtiens Vivant à l’Étranger (MHAVE) has expressed deep concern and called for full transparency and clarification of the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.⁠

The Unité de Lutte Contre la Corruption (ULCC) has

The Unité de Lutte Contre la Corruption (ULCC) has demanded that former President Michel Joseph Martelly be charged with falsifying asset declarations during his tenure from 2011-2016. Released December 8, the executive summary exposes a web of omissions, contradictions, & untraceable riches that ballooned Martelly’s fortune despite his modest official salary, fueling suspicions of embezzlement in Haiti.
The probe, sparked by a 2024 referral from civil society group Ensemble contre la Corruption, scrutinized Martelly’s entry declaration (filed upon taking office in May 2011) & exit filing (delayed until January 2018, well past the 30-day legal window). Investigators, operating under Haiti’s 2004 anti-corruption statute & 2008 asset disclosure law, uncovered glaring flaws: an undated, improperly notarized entry form; 11 undeclared bank accounts (beyond the 6 listed) holding fat balances across local institutions; & real estate holdings worth over $1 million dating back to 1992 that mysteriously evaporated without explanation.
“These declarations are incomplete and inconsistent, eroding public trust and violating transparency mandates,” the ULCC stated, recommending prosecution for false reporting, a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison & fines. Vehicles listed in 2011 vanished by 2016 without sale records, while new acquisitions popped up mid-term, untethered to any disclosed income. Artistic gigs under Martelly’s “Sweet Micky” alias? No contracts. Conference fees? Zero tax docs. Even payments to his wife, Sophia Saint-Rémy Martelly, from the Economy Ministry during his presidency went unreported, despite totaling thousands.
Investigators flagged his wife’s pre-2011 vehicles as undeclared “indirect assets” & noted banking black holes in transactions, echoing anti-money-laundering red flags. Martelly has faced U.S. sanctions since August 2024 for allegedly facilitating cocaine routes to America & laundering proceeds through gangs, a charge his lawyer has dismissed as politically motivated. Canada blacklisted him in 2022, & a Jan 2024 warrant tied him to equipment theft at the National Center of Equipment.

@WyclefJean is doing what he’s always done best: p

@WyclefJean is doing what he’s always done best: proving why he’s a living legend. 🇭🇹 The Fugees mastermind and three-time Grammy winner just dropped the long-awaited music video for his explosive single “Back From Abu Dhabi,” and it’s vintage Wyclef: high fashion, higher energy, zero compromise.⁠
⁠
Filmed across his native New Jersey (Newark and Camden) and the sun-soaked streets of Miami for those larger-than-life @RichForever moments, the visual is a flex of hip hop culture and that undeniable day-one hunger. Comedy king @DaveChappelle steals the opening scene with an intro, while @FrenchMontana and Rick Ross pull up to turn the whole thing into a boss-level celebration.⁠
⁠
Though the vision was Wyclef's, he handed the reins to the perfect director: actress and visionary @Tasha4RealSmith. He called her personally, brought her on board, and together they delivered something undeniable.⁠
⁠
When we sat down with Clef, he kept the message simple and real: ⁠”This is about the come-up. No matter where you’re from, don’t listen to the haters. Stay focused on what you’re gonna do. That’s it.”⁠
⁠
“Back From Abu Dhabi” isn’t just a single; it’s the opening statement for Wyclef’s first full-length studio album in over a decade. If this video is any indication, the project is going to be a fearless celebration of resilience, global flavor, and unapologetic ambition.⁠
⁠
Wyclef Jean isn’t just back. He never really left.⁠ 🔥

FIFA’s Saturday announcement has New England’s #Ha

FIFA’s Saturday announcement has New England’s #Haitian community on fire: #Haiti will play its first World Cup match in 52 years at Gillette Stadium (renamed Boston Stadium for the tournament), facing Scotland on June 13, 2026.⁠
⁠
For thousands of #HaitianAmericans in Greater #Boston, the third-largest Haitian population in the United States, the news feels like destiny. Even though the stadium is 30 miles south in Foxborough, everyone is simply calling it “Haiti playing in Boston,” and the energy is already through the roof.⁠
⁠
#LesGrenadiers earned their spot with a dramatic qualification run, beating Costa Rica and Honduras while playing “home” games in Curaçao because of the security situation in #PortauPrince. Now they get to open the World Cup practically in the backyard of one of the biggest Haitian communities in the world. Then the ticket prices dropped, and the shock was immediate.⁠
⁠
Cheapest seats for Haiti vs Scotland start at $325, with many tickets running $600–$950. Haitian TikTokers and Instagram content creators wasted no time: the timeline is flooded with reaction videos of people staring at the price list in disbelief, screaming, crying-laughing, and posting captions like “52 years to see Haiti in the World Cup and FIFA hits us with THESE prices???”⁠
⁠
Still, the community isn’t backing down. Boston Haitians have waited half a century for this moment. Expensive or not, on June 13, 2026, Gillette Stadium is going to be packed with blue-and-red flags and thousands of voices singing La Dessalinienne louder than ever. ⁠

What should have been one of the proudest moments

What should have been one of the proudest moments in an immigrant’s life, taking the Oath of Allegiance to become a U.S. citizen, turned into heartbreak for dozens of people at Boston’s Faneuil Hall last week.⁠
⁠
Several immigrants who had completed years of background checks, interviews, and tests arrived ready to finalize their naturalization process, only to be told they could not proceed because of their country of origin. According to multiple reports, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has instructed its employees to pause all immigration and naturalization proceedings for nationals of 19 countries deemed “high-risk,” including #Haiti, Afghanistan, Cuba, Venezuela, & Somalia.⁠
⁠
The decision, part of a nationwide directive quietly circulated to USCIS field offices, has stalled both green card and citizenship approvals for thousands of people. The Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition reported that five people who had already been approved for citizenship were informed at the last minute that their oath ceremonies had been canceled. Another 40 individuals currently in the process now face indefinite delays.⁠
⁠
One Haitian woman, who has lived in the U.S. for decades & obtained her green card in the early 2000s, showed up to Faneuil Hall unaware that her ceremony had been canceled. According to her legal representative, officers began asking attendees for their countries of origin. Those from certain nations were then “plucked out of line” and told they would not be allowed to proceed.⁠
⁠
For many, the location only added to the emotional blow. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu called the events “deeply painful,” noting that they occurred in Faneuil Hall, a site known as the ‘cradle of liberty’ & a symbol of America’s democratic values. “It’s despicable and deeply painful to see this happening across the country,” Wu said.⁠
⁠
Immigrant advocates and civil rights groups say the policy unfairly targets Black and Brown immigrants, particularly those from African & Caribbean nations. While the incident in Boston drew national attention, reports of similar cancellations have surfaced in New York, Florida, Texas, & California. #lunionsuite

Dominican authorities have arrested four staff mem

Dominican authorities have arrested four staff members from the Instituto Leonardo Da Vinci on charges of involuntary manslaughter in the drowning death of 11-year-old #Haitian honor student Stephora Anne-Mircie Joseph, who died during a school reward trip that violated long-standing safety regulations.
Stephora, a sixth-grader celebrated for her straight-A grades, drowned on November 14 in an unsupervised pool at Hacienda Los Caballos, a recreational ranch in Gurabo. The preliminary autopsy report lists the cause of death as mechanical asphyxia by drowning.
Investigators have uncovered multiple safety lapses at the heart of the tragedy. The outing, intended as a reward for top-performing students, defied a 2009 nationwide ban by the Ministry of Education on school aquatic excursions, a measure implemented 15 years ago to prevent such risks. With nearly 87 students present, adult supervision was critically inadequate, & the pool area lacked lifeguards, restricted access, rescue equipment, & first-aid kits.
Attorney General Reynoso directed prosecutors & the National Directorate for Children, Adolescents, & Family to expedite a criminal probe, leading to the swift arrests of the four school employees who were responsible for organizing and supervising the group.
Stephora's mother, Lovelie Joseph Raphael, said she rushed to a local hospital after being told her daughter was ill with vomiting, only to endure hours of waiting before being instructed to retrieve her child's body from the National Institute of Forensic Sciences in Santo Domingo.
Represented by attorneys Mena & Salazar, Joseph Raphael has filed a formal complaint with the Attorney General's Office, accusing the school & the venue of "extreme negligence." The family is demanding a fully transparent investigation, immediate release of all available evidence & security-camera footage.
The Regional Education Director has acknowledged that the institute failed to comply with mandatory safety protocols, prompting an internal review. The case has amplified a nationwide debate on student safety, particularly in schools serving #Haitian immigrant families across the #DominicanRepublic. #lunionsuite

In a night of confetti, champagne showers, and unb

In a night of confetti, champagne showers, and unbridled South Florida passion, Fabrice “Fafà” Picault etched his name into #Haitian and MLS lore as @InterMiamiCF captured its first-ever Major League Soccer championship. The 34-year-old #HaitianAmerican international and proud member of the Haiti national team was part of the Herons’ 3–1 triumph over the Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the 2025 MLS Cup Final at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale on December 6.⁠
⁠
The victory marked Inter Miami’s crowning achievement in a season already defined by dominance, a campaign that saw the Herons defend their 2024 Supporters’ Shield title and power through the playoffs with emphatic wins, including a 5–1 dismantling of New York City FC in the Eastern Conference Final. For Picault, it was both redemption and reward: a first MLS Cup after nearly a decade in the league, with stints across Philadelphia Union, FC Dallas, Houston Dynamo, Nashville SC, and, ironically, the vanquished Whitecaps.⁠
⁠
#LionelMessi, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner and Inter Miami’s talismanic captain, orchestrated the final with his trademark artistry, dictating tempo, threading passes, and setting up two of Miami’s three goals en route to being named MLS Cup MVP.⁠
⁠
Signed by Inter Miami in early 2025 on a one-year deal with a club option for 2026, Picault arrived as a depth signing but quickly became an invaluable contributor, offering experience, energy, and width in attack. His pace and pressing complemented Miami’s star-driven offense, earning him praise from teammates and supporters.⁠
⁠
Off the pitch, @fafapicault Haitian heritage continued to shine. Earlier in 2025, he earned a call-up to Haiti’s national team for their FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, appearing in key matches before an injury sidelined him late in the year. Haiti went on to make history, clinching a 2–0 victory over Nicaragua in November to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.⁠
⁠
For Haiti, a nation of millions of soccer-loving fans, Picault’s story is a symbol of pride, perseverance, and possibility. Alongside international teammates, Picault stands as part of a generation restoring belief in Haitian football. #lunionsuite

Former Haitian Prime Minister #LaurentLamothe anno $Former Haitian Prime Minister #LaurentLamothe announced on Instagram that his personal and political relationship with former President #MichelMartelly has been "irreversibly" over since July 2021, calling his past support for Martelly the "biggest mistake" of his life.⁠ ⁠ In the post, Lamothe described how a Haitian woman recently referred to him and Martelly as a "beautiful team," prompting him to clarify the situation. He stated that the rift began in 2014 and became final on July 9, 2021 – the day after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, Martelly's successor.⁠ ⁠ "From then on: no more team, no more link. The page was turned – without possible return," Lamothe wrote in French. He emphasized his long-held loyalty but said it could no longer continue amid "ingratitude" and "manipulation" as a "permanent political mode of functioning."⁠ ⁠ Lamothe concluded by apologizing to the Haitian people for backing Martelly's 2011 presidential bid, stating, "With hindsight, it was the biggest mistake of my life." ⁠ ⁠ The declaration marks a new chapter in the fractious history between two of Haiti’s most influential political figures, a break that, Lamothe says, is final and complete. No immediate response was available from Martelly or his representatives.⁠ ⁠ Lamothe served as Prime Minister under Martelly from May 2012 to December 2014, resigning amid protests and political tensions. Both men have faced international sanctions: Canada in 2022 and the United States in 2023 (Lamothe) and 2024 (Martelly) for alleged corruption, fund misappropriation, and ties to armed gangs. Haiti continues to grapple with political instability, gang violence, and delayed elections following Moïse's 2021 assassination. This public break comes as Haiti navigates ongoing crises, with Lamothe positioning himself as a forward-thinking entrepreneur since leaving office.⁠ ⁠ 📸 @Laurentlamothe⁠ #lunionsuite #haitianamerican #haitian #haiti$

The moment every Haitian football fan has been wai

The moment every Haitian football fan has been waiting for is finally here. FIFA has confirmed Haiti’s complete group-stage fixture list for the 2026 World Cup, marking the Grenadiers’ first appearance on the biggest stage since 1974. Drawn into a blockbuster Group C alongside five-time champions Brazil, 2022 semifinalists Morocco, and Scotland, Sébastien Migné’s side will play all three matches on U.S. soil. 🇭🇹⁠
⁠
- Saturday, June 13, 2026 – 9:00 PM ⁠
HAITI vs SCOTLAND ⁠
Gillette Stadium, Foxborough (Boston area), Massachusetts⁠
⁠
- Friday, June 19, 2026 – 9:00 PM ⁠
BRAZIL vs HAITI ⁠
Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania⁠
⁠
- Wednesday, June 24, 2026 – 6:00 PM ⁠
MOROCCO vs HAITI ⁠
Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia⁠
⁠
The Grenadiers qualified in dramatic fashion last month, finishing second in their final CONCACAF group behind Canada and ahead of Costa Rica. Haiti enters as the second-lowest-ranked team in the tournament (FIFA ranking 86), but the expanded 48-team format gives the Grenadiers a real shot: the top two in each group plus the eight best third-placed teams advance to the knockout stage.⁠
⁠
FIFA will open the first phase of public sales (random selection) in January/February 2026 at FIFA.com/tickets. Fans are strongly urged to register immediately for alerts. ⁠
⁠
From Boston to Philadelphia to Atlanta, the Haitian flag will fly higher than ever next summer. 52 years in the making. One nation, one heartbeat. ⁠
Nou Pral La. Let’s Go Haiti!!! 🇭🇹 ⁠
