On the first Wednesday of the new year, the world was shocked as protestors broke into the U.S. Capitol in Washington. This was the first breach of the Capitol building in over 200 years. The significance of this riot in a country that is a bastion for democracy cannot be denied, and global media coverage and interest followed accordingly. Yet, for many Haitians these events felt remarkably familiar.
America’s TV commentators made vague references likening the events in Washington to contexts across the globe, “banana republics” with authoritarian regimes. Parallels drawn – correctly or not – were mostly with non-democratic countries. But the most fitting parallel would be Haiti, America’s neighbour to the South and fellow electoral democracy. In 2019, its own legislature was attacked – one in a series of chaotic assaults to our democratic institutions.
