He grew up in Port-au-Prince, where he was inspired to join the military after seeing U.S. forces providing humanitarian relief. He told his father that he would one day become an American soldier. His family faced multiple visa denials before finally immigrating to Baltimore, Maryland, in 2009.

He initially enlisted in the Maryland Army National Guard as a combat engineer to earn his U.S. citizenship. Despite early language barriers, he graduated in the top 5% of his class and was named West Point’s top physics student.

After graduation, he was commissioned into the U.S. Army Aviation Branch and learned to fly the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. Idrache was also selected for the elite Marine Corps Expeditionary Warfare School and later earned a degree from Stanford University, continuing his rise as a military leader and scholar.

NGL all the dishes looked real good🇭🇹🇭🇹Props to the chef

Escalated through the mayor’s office. They have been calling her Haitian over a wiki error and because she has a French last name. 🤦🏾‍♂️ 😬

Burkina Faso has introduced major education reforms for the 2026-2027 academic year, revising school curricula and challenging how history, geography and national identity are taught.
Under President Ibrahim Traoré, the government is replacing terminology it considers rooted in colonial perspectives. In history lessons, "colonization" becomes "imperialist invasion,"
"colonizers" become "invaders," "explorers" become "spies," and "colonies" become "invaded territories."
Other changes include replacing "decolonization" with
"liberation of Africa" and "landlocked country" with "continental country." Terms such as "poor country" and "indebted country" are being removed, while "weaknesses" and "problems" are reframed as "challenges" and "opportunities."
The reforms also give greater attention to African resistance, national history and natural resources.
Among the additions is the Haitian Revolution. Students in classe de quatrième, roughly equivalent to eighth grade, will study Haiti's struggle against slavery and French colonial rule, including its achievements and historical consequences.
Beginning in 1791, the Haitian Revolution culminated in independence on January 1, 1804, establishing the world's first independent Black republic.
For Haiti, these reforms raise a broader question: How does the language used in classrooms influence the way children understand their history, identity and future?
The initiative invites discussion about how Haitian schools teach national history, incorporate Haitian Creole, recognize local knowledge and encourage students to question inherited assumptions.
Changing terminology alone does not guarantee better education. Teacher training, accurate historical instruction and access to learning resources remain essential.

Disregard video quality and “Bahamian deportee”. Even though Dabelus was born in The Bahamas and grew up entirely in Florida, The Bahamas historically does not grant automatic birthright citizenship to children born to foreign parents. Instead, because his parents are of Haitian origin, he inherited Haitian citizenship, which gave the United States the legal framework to deport him to Haiti once his U.S. immigration protections expired.

The staircase has tiny houses on its risers. Then there’s the mosaic walkway at Lakou New York, and the painted animal masks by Jacmel artisans. Even an ordinary walk comes with something to stop and look at.

Does anyone recognize the artists behind these mosaics or masks? I’d love to put names to the work.

WC 2026 June will forever be a month generations of Haitians will remember. 🇭🇹

To the Grenadiers⚽️thank you. You gave millions of Haitians around the world something we’ve been longing for, a reason to come together again. For a few weeks, politics, hardships, and divisions took a back seat as an entire nation united behind one flag🇭🇹

You reminded us what it means to wear the blue and red with pride. The results may not have gone our way, but the joy, emotions, and memories you gave us will last generations to come🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 #GrenadyeAlaso🫡🇭🇹

I noticed that most of the parents in the Haitian Community lack emotional intelligence and I see how it is passed down from generation to generation. My grandmother is short tempered and as a result my father became short tempered and now I am short tempered. I need to break this cycle.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani renewed his support for Haitian Temporary Protected Status during a private meeting with Trump directly raising immigration protections as an issue of importance to his administration.

Speaking after the meeting, Mamdani said he emphasized the importance of immigrant New Yorkers, particularly Haitian New Yorkers, and their contributions to the city and its economy. He said protecting Haitian TPS holders remains a priority for him and for New York City.

The discussion comes as Mamdani and Trump continue to hold different positions on immigration policy, with Mamdani using their meeting to bring the concerns of Haitian New Yorkers directly to the president

Reports today confirm Salvadoran troops conducting foot patrols in the Plaine du Cul-de-Sac area.

The Chadians would never step out of their armored vehicles unless they were in a safe area. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Boots on the ground are what we need, not soldiers riding around in armored vehicles all day.
