I wonder what the Dominican Republic is going to do, seeing as how they are more immediately affected by this crisis.
Haiti has been firmly in "failed state" territory for decades, so I'm, sadly, not surprised by this turn of events...
You know it’s an interesting phenomenon and I’ve often
Wondered why it has not spilled over already.
I traveled to Coasta Rica several decades ago. It was well after the removal of Noreaga and the Nicaraguan revolution and its communist lite government.
And here is Coasta Rica sandwiched between them both. It suffered all of the liabilities and risk of a small Central America nation.
Yet through it all it has remained a stable constitutional government. I believe it actually is the second oldest constitutional government in the world after the US and possibly Britian depending on how you define a constitutional government.
They had a viable tropical agriculture suffered no military coups, and a very lite national military presence. A catholic nation where gambling and prostitution was legal and lightly regulate.
I watched primary age boys and girls walk home right through the city center of its capital San Juan unattended, unmolested and unconcerned.
Firearms were not illegal. I asked is there anyplace in San Juan foreigners should not go. The general advice was there are a few parts of San Juan where women might not want to visit alone, and that was only after dark.
pretty remarkable situation for any nation any where in the world today.
So of course I ask why? How did a small Latin American nation successfully maintained constitution government that has successfully limited the control and corruption in the government. And still also escape or be immune to sectarian violence and corruption while it existed for decades on it boarders.
The predominant answer was their population was almost completely European in heritage. Regrettably when it was settled the settlers had pretty much driven out or exterminated the totality of the indigenous population.
Of course this is not an acceptable solution or method for any nation to follow.
But I mention it because it is what many reported was one of the influencing factors in their stability. They maintained a shared Vision of the nation they wanted, expected and would work for.
They were a homogeneous population by and large committed to the same cultural and government influences and expectations.
The point being it was the will of the citizenry that sustained and molded its society and government. The revolution and corruption of its two larger neighbors were simply rejected en-mass and neither gained a foothold.
I’m not saying it’s perfect or free of faults. Simply that It was the populations overwhelming commitment to a shared vision and expectation for their nation that sustained them.
I say all that to illustrate why rapid and forced social change due to either new and untested social policies or large and unassimilated immigration, legal or otherwise. Will always lead to national divisions and internal conflicts.
Rapid, often times radical, changes to any nations legal, cultural, or economic stability almost always will result in internal weakness division and instability.
A ship that has a crew that is competent in manning and sufficiently educated. One which also actually agrees on what the hell their doing at sea amd where their going will always have a better chance of success and survival when they hit a storm.
It’s not a panacea for all nations struggles. But it’s a good foundation upon which build and sustain it one.
