Haitian Americans United Inc. (H.A.U.) and its partners condemn the silence of the international community and the Biden Administration on the current political crisis in Haiti. This event will highlight the ongoing acts of aggression violence, kidnapping, looting, and rape perpetrated all day long against our brothers and sisters in Haiti by the armed bandits. The crisis will not stop until Haiti can see the light of improvement of its security system, said” Reverend Dieufort  J Fleurissaint HAU Chair, and True Alliance Center, Executive Director.
