There is no government

Should me mention "None" as a de-facto government? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:14, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Even for states that have been in practical anarchy, usually the de facto government is referred to as "transitional" or "provisional." More rarely, I've seen "disputed" used in place of any government when another political body claims legitimacy (see Libya c. 2011). Clyde H. Mapping (talk) 22:25, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

A Failed state is being talked about by academics.

Yeah, but the last I've heard is that no transitional or provisional government has been formed yet. At the very least we should go with the "disputed" option. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:00, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

I think we should put down the “Failed State” about now ngl -Howchecker — Preceding unsigned comment added by Howchecker (talk • contribs) 15:59, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Haiti

Haiti's sovereignty on 1 January 1804, leading to the massacre of the French. The country thus became the first independent nation of Latin America and the Caribbean, the second republic in the Americas, the first country in the Americas to eliminate slavery, and the only state in history established by a successful slave revolt.

Vous avez oublier cette partie de l’histoire Chrisdoune (talk) 13:55, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Haiti

La souveraineté d'Haïti le 1er janvier 1804, conduisant au massacre des Français. Le pays est ainsi devenu la première nation indépendante d'Amérique latine et des Caraïbes, la deuxième république des Amériques, le premier pays des Amériques à éliminer l'esclavage et le seul État de l'histoire établi par une révolte d'esclaves réussie. Vous avez effacé cette histoire c’est très méchant de votre part Chrisdoune (talk) 14:08, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Second paragraph: Haiti was originally inhabited by the Taíno people.[22] In 1942, Christopher Columbus established the first European settlement in the Americas. 1492 is the correct year. 69.41.12.74 (talk) 17:25, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

The last sentece on the main information should be changed

Im talking about the "With no elected officials remaining, Haiti has been described as a failed state."

While this might be true, it shouldnt appear on the first read of a country, no matter the name. You cant create a whole wikipedia page about a country, but then concluded as a "failed state", that just sounds opinionated.

It is opinionated.

The "failed state" information should be used in a specific section, not on the main body. 2A02:2F00:3006:8300:429:613B:5EDD:B19D (talk) 21:25, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Add citation to " Duvalier left the country for France in February 1986" [citation needed]

"For different reasons, the U.S. government, the CNG, the Haitian urban elites, political parties of all tendencies, and large chunks of the Haitian masses have fancied the assumption that Baby Doc’s departure was a clear step on the march to democracy, an immediate and inevitable consequence of the disturbances and massive riots of 1984−85. To be sure, the riots were a necessary factor in the end of the Duvalier dynasty: had the Haitian masses not defied the army and militia with their bare hands during a month of daily encounters in which many unarmed citizens were injured and killed, chances are that Jean-Claude Duvalier would still be ruling the country. But if the riots were necessary for Duvalier to leave, they certainly were not a sufficient condition for him to depart the way he did. It took something else to orchestrate his departure at that particular time, under those specific circumstances, and with a no less specific aftermath. Thus the problem with the dominant version of Duvalier’s downfall is not what it acknowledges but what it leaves out. Two series of events occurred on February 7, 1986: first, the departure of Duvalier; second, the takeover of the state machinery by a group of apparently disparate individuals..."

File:Yes check.svg Done For what it's worth, I accessed the book via the Internet Archive and verified the info myself. The edition I read had the relevant text (not what was quoted above, but a different passage mentioning the Feb. 7 date) on page 221. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 21:35, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

And on second thought, neither the passage I read nor the passage you quote (nor, as best I could tell with a quick search, the rest of the source) indicate where he and his family went after leaving Haiti, so I removed the "for France" bit from the article.

Name

It should be the third Haitian republic, because it had 3 republics the first one was suceeded by the Empire Of Haiti the second one was suceeded by the Duvalier family. Neoogai (talk) 20:29, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
