I don't know much about Haiti now. My birth father was a US Marine stationed in Haiti in the 1960s, during the days of Papa Doc Duvalier and the Ton Tons Macoute. He coached the Haitian National Rifle Team. Someone, not known who, took a shot at one of Papa Doc's children. He concluded that only someone on the rifle team, or their Marine instructors, could have been a good enough shot to have attempted this. They set out to round everyone up. My birth father had a story about staying in a safe house for a couple days until he could get out of the country. I have an authentic Haitian voodoo drum that was given to me back in the '60s from when he was down there.
