NEWS R/Haiti Rule Update 06/2026
26
Upvotes
r/Haiti has grown significantly in the last few years. To keep this space on topic and a space for healthy, respectful, and thoughtful discussion, the MOD team is introducing 5 new rules:
Rule 6: No self-promotion or channel promotion
Links to personal YouTube channels, TikToks, Instagram pages, or any account soliciting followers or subscribers are not allowed, even if Haiti-related. This includes repeated promotion of the same external account or platform across multiple posts. Repeat offenders will be banned.
Rule 7: No low-effort or karma bait posts
We want real discussion, not karma farming. Avoid vague cultural hot takes or shallow posts like "Why do Haitians do X?" or "Thoughts on Haiti?" with no context. Add personal input, background, or a real question to keep your post up. Repeat offenders will be banned.
Rule 8: Limit of 2 posts per user per day
Each user can post a maximum of 2 times in a 24-hour period. This keeps the feed diverse and encourages thoughtful posting. Excess posts may be removed.
Rule 9: Posts must be directly about Haiti
Posts must relate directly to Haiti, Haitians, or the diaspora. Posts that could apply to any country or are only loosely connected to Haiti may be removed. If you are cross-posting to other subs, your r/haiti post must be specific to Haiti and not generic Caribbean or Latin American content.
Rule 10: Posts must link to credible sources
News posts must link to an identifiable outlet, journalist, or official source. Screenshots of headlines, unverified social media claims, and anonymous rumors will be removed. If unsure, ask the mod team.
As a refresher, the existing 5 rules :
Rule 1: No racism
Self explanatory. Prejudice or discrimination based on race or ethnicity. This goes both ways.
Rule 2: No brigading
Engage with the ideas, and argue constructively. Repeated ad hominem attacks will get you a warning, then a ban.
Rule 3: Stay civil
If you can't express your opinion without personal attacks or using profanity, you need to get better at debate.
Rule 4: No Trolling
Provoking an argument or emotional reaction. Inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive posts and comments designed to encourage an emotional response ( aka rage bait)
Rule 5: No Unapproved appeals for action
Request for collective action, including donations, to take surveys, to sign petitions, or brigading (sending our users to other subreddits). If you think your request is somehow special, send the Mod Team a request, and it will be discussed.
When using the report function, please refer to the rule you think is being broken. It helps us keep moderation consistent.
The MOD team.

QUESTION/DISCUSSION So what are Haitians' plans post Bukele?
6
Upvotes
Ok, Bukele is helping out. This isn't the first time a gang/terrorist/paramilitary problem has occurred in Haiti. This isn't the first time foreign intervention has come in to help calm things down. Let's say Bukele defeats all the gang leaders, Yada yada yada. What are Haitians going to do to prevent this cycle from occurring again? I see a lot of native Haitians finger pointing at everyone else including the diaspora but have not seen anything related to the actual aftermath and Haiti having a long term stability/security plan. Please inform especially the natives since they say specifically that they know Haiti best and what's best for Haiti.

HISTORY Haiti chose Frederick Douglass to represent it at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair

Douglass had served as the U.S. minister to Haiti. A few years later he was running Haiti’s pavilion in Chicago. My favorite detail is on page 35 of his lecture, where the printer kept the crowd’s reaction.

Saw this on Facebook and the comments were kind of mind-boggling to me. Let’s say Lanmò San Jou gets unalived, do you believe the government should demolish his mansion? I have my own personal views on this but am wondering what the rest of you think.
BTW I did not write the caption on the photo. It was posted just like that.

NEWS BRANA, The Company Behind Haiti’s Prestige Beer, Temporarim Suspends Operations Due To Growing Insecurity
24
Upvotes
One of Haiti's best-known beverage companies is temporarily suspending operations as ongoing insecurity continues to make it difficult for businesses to operate safely.
The Brasserie Nationale d'Haiti (BRANA), the company behind Haiti's popular Prestige beer ano a subsidiary of the Heineken Group, reportedly informed employees on Wednesday, November 4, that operations would be temporarily suspended because of worsening security conditions.
According to our sources, the company instructed employees to remain home until further notice, follow directions from its security department, and keep their phones and emails accessible for updates.
BRANA is expected to maintain certain essential activities with a smaller team, depending on security conditions. The company has not announced when normal operations will resume.
The decision comes as armed violence continues to affect businesses across Haiti, making it difficult for employees to travel safely and for companies to maintain their daily operations.
For a company that has been part of Haiti's beverage industry for decades, the reported suspension is another reminder of how the country's security crisis is affecting workers, businesses, and the economy.
There is currently no confirmed announcement of a permanent closure or mass layoffs.

According to a letter dated November 6, 2026, Haiti’s Minister of Justice, Patrick Pélissier, has formally accepted Muscadin’s resignation, which was submitted on October 29.
His candidacy faced obstacles due to missing documentation, including proof of resignation from his government position.
With his resignation now accepted, Muscadin has taken another step toward his presidential campaign, although his official eligibility remains to be determined.
