Summary
Haitian gang leader Monel “Mikano” Felix reportedly ordered the massacre of at least 110 people in Port-au-Prince’s Cite Soleil slum after accusing elderly voodoo practitioners of cursing his son.
Victims, primarily voodoo followers, were killed with knives and machetes over two days.
Cite Soleil, a gang-controlled area, has become emblematic of Haiti’s worsening gang violence, which persists despite international interventions.
Voodoo, recognized as a formal religion in Haiti, has deep historical roots but remains stigmatized amid ongoing violence and unrest.
We’re born with a race, sex, and gender. We are not born with a religion.
Religion can safely be dropped and one huge cause of so many conflicts can go away. It wont solve 100% of the problem, and we will still fight over stuff we can’t control but it’s still worth it to try even for a partial win.
