Naona tena tetemeko limeipiga Haiti na kuangusha majumba, Hii nchi kuna shida mahali make si kwa haya majanga yanayo iandama, Sijui hali ya maisha ikoje huko,

Haiti tangu wajikomboe na kupata uhuru kutika kwa wafaransa 1806 wamekuwa na matatizo tu. Tangu wakati huo marais sita wameuwawa kwa kupigwa risasi huyu wa karibuni akiwa Jovenel Moïse.

Kijiografia Haiti iko kwenye ukanda wa majanga yenyewe na Dominican republic ambayo wanashare kisiwa kimoja Espanola ila kimegawanyika katikati.

Wahaiti (Haitian) ni uzao wa watumwa walioletwa na ufaransa kisiwani hapo kutoka Africa Magharibi kulima miwa kwa ajili ya sukari (brown sugar) enzi hizo ilikuwa dhahabu pamoja na pamba

Waafrika hawa walikuwa wengi jamii ya Yoruba walikuja na lugha zao tofauti zikachanganyikana na kifaransa na lugha ya creole ikajitokeza. Na dini ya kiasili voodoo.

Licha ya majanga Haiti ni maskini sana katika carribeann. Pia kuna ukanda na ukabila. Watu wa Kaskazini wanabaguliwa sana ambapo alipotoka huyu rais aliyeuwawa majuzi jovenel moïse na pia marais wote sita wa Haiti waliouliwa (assassination) wote wametoka kaskazini mwa Haiti.

Wale wa kusini huku mji mkuu ulipo port au prince wanajifanyaga sana wana maendeleo na wasomi.

Pia kuna kasumba fulani ya wahaiti weupe au machotara ( mulato) wanajiona wao ni superior na wako wachache.

Wahaiti wanajilaumu kwa nini hawakukubali Marekani kununua nchi yao kutoka ufaransa. Walikataa ufaransa kuiuzia haiti Marekani. Ilikuwa ufaransa imuuzie Marekani Jimbo la Louisiana na Haiti lakini wa Haiti wakakataa Marekani ikabidi inunue jimbo la Louisiana. Wanajuta na kulaumu babu zao.

A magnitude 7.2 earthquake violently shook Haiti on the morning of Aug 14, a deadly blow to an impoverished Caribbean country still recovering from a disastrous but less powerful quake more than 11 years ago.

Heavy damage, trapped victims, chaos and overwhelmed hospitals upended life in at least two cities. The country’s civil protection agency reported that at least 30 people had been killed, and the dead included a powerful local politician in a collapsed hotel he owned. The quake could hardly have come at a worse time for the nation of 11 million, which has been in the throes of a political crisis since President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated on July 7.

The United States Geological Survey said the quake struck five miles from the town of Petit Trou de Nippes in the western part of the country, about 80 miles west of Port-au-Prince, the capital. Seismologists said it had a depth of seven miles and was felt as far away as 200 miles in Jamaica. The USGS said it was a magnitude 7.2 quake, which can cause enormous damage and was more powerful than the 7.0 quake that hit Haiti in 2010.

Pictures and video posted on social media showed collapsed structures and panicked residents in their pajamas screaming the names of loved ones. A tsunami warning sent others fleeing from the coast. And Tropical Storm Grace was on a path to hit the country, with forecasters saying Haitians should be bracing for it on Aug 16.

At least two cities reported major devastation: Les Cayes and Jeremie. Phone lines were down in Petit Trou de Nippes, the epicenter of the quake, and no news emerged immediately from that city, leaving Haitian officials to fear for the worst. A general cloud of mayhem and confusion descended across the country’s southern peninsula, including unconfirmed accounts of a prison escape from Jacmel, one of the major cities there.

Doctors said the two main hospitals in Les Cayes and the main hospital in Jeremie had been overwhelmed.

Why are casualties expected to be high?

The quake has sparked comparisons to a devastating 2010 earthquake that killed an estimated 300,000 people.

“The damage should not be as bad as 2010, because that quake gave Intensity VII shaking to Port au Prince,” tweeted seismologist Lucy Jones. But intense shaking from the latest earthquake affected about 130,000 people so "losses will be high," she warned. Preliminary reports for the U.S. Geological Survey estimate hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.

Haiti's new Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, said on Twitter he would mobilize all available government resources following the "violent quake" that had cause loss of life and damage in various parts of the country. Henry declared a one-month state of emergency for the country. He said at a news conference that he would not ask for international help until the extent of the damages is known.

The earthquake has forced many to relive the trauma of a magnitude 7 earthquake that devastated the country in 2010. This quake was farther away from the capital of Port-au-Prince and the most populated areas in Haiti. Initial calculations show about 2.5 million people living within 50 miles or so from the epicenter. For comparison, the 2010 quake had roughly 6.5 million people living within 50 miles. More recently, a magnitude 5.9 earthquake in 2018 left more than a dozen people dead.

Widchell Augustin, from Les Cayes, told the New York Times many people are trapped under the rubble of fallen buildings. "We can hear people screaming under the rubble," he said. "People are running back-and-forth to the hospital.” “We’re concerned that this earthquake is just one more crisis on top of what the country is already facing - including the worsening political stalemate after the president’s assassination, COVID and food insecurity,” said Jean-Wickens Merone, spokesman for World Vision Haiti.

“Haiti is just not a country that is set up to respond to this kind of event. They needed a lot of help after the 2010 quake. You suspect that they will need help again. In the middle of a pandemic, that is going to be even more complicated,” CNN's Patrick Oppmann said.

When can Grace make matters really worse for Haiti?

Even as Haiti reels from a devastating earthquake, the threat of another natural disaster looms over the island. Tropical Storm Grace, which formed in the eastern Caribbean the same morning, is on a path toward Haiti.

The storm was projected to pass near Haiti sometime on Aug 16 or Aug 17, according to the National Hurricane Center, but it was possible the storm would spare the island just as officials ramp up recovery efforts. “The current forecast has the center of the storm moving across Puerto Rico and into the Dominican Republic,” said Robbie Berg, a hurricane specialist at the center. “Whether or not it crosses over Haiti is still up in the air.”

If Grace does reach Haiti, Berg said, heavy winds and rainfall could be expected in the northern part of the country. He also said the earthquake could increase the chance of mudslides. “It could have shifted some of the ground and soil, which could make mudslides more common,” he said. The center said that people on the island should monitor the path of Grace, and that tropical storm warnings for Haiti and other nearby islands “will likely be required” later on Aug 15.

Earlier a tropical depression, Grace strengthened to tropical storm status about 400 miles east of the Leeward Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm is expected to bring heavy rain and flooding, and even prompted a tropical storm warning for parts of the eastern Caribbean, including the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Maximum sustained winds are roughly 45 mph, with some strengthening expected during the next couple of days.

The center issued a tropical storm watch for parts of the Dominican Republic on Aug 14, and the watch would “likely be expanded westward to include Haiti later today and tonight,” said Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman for the center. Berg said the storm was not expected to make landfall in Haiti, which means the center of the storm wouldn’t cross over the island itself. However, he said, “rain is centered all around the storm, so the center won’t mean a whole lot.”

Considering Haiti’s rotten luck, it would take a die-hard optimist to hope for the storm to spare the impoverished country.

Where did the 2010 earthquake leave Haiti?

The magnitude 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti in Jan. 12, 2010, left at least 300,000 people dead, tens of thousands injured and rubble nearly everywhere.

Progress in responding to the earthquake was hampered by a number of factors, including loss of life, a number of aftershocks, destroyed infrastructures, collapsed buildings blocking streets, the lack of electricity for gasoline station pumps, loss of the capital's seaport, and loss of air traffic control facilities. The damage to the Haitian government ministries, all of which suffered varying degrees of destruction and personnel deaths, impeded coordination of the disaster response.

The quake – one of the deadliest natural disasters on record – destroyed much of the country’s fragile infrastructure and left many Haitians in dire need of assistance. International aid mobilized quickly, providing urgent support to children, women and families, many of whom were without shelter, water, food and other basic necessities. The priority was to save lives.

But 11 years later, Haiti continues to face multiple crises. Worsening food insecurity and malnutrition, water-borne disease epidemics and high vulnerability to natural disasters have placed added pressure on women and children. And it’s not really clear where exactly did the $13.5 billion worth of aid go.

When Haiti was rocked by the 2010 earthquake, images of despair and damage struck a chord with people around the world – and dollars started flowing in. Today, Haiti is cited as the reason why governments should not foolishly give money to countries filled with corruption. The Haitian government is widely accused of corruption, mismanagement and misinformation, right down to the number of people it says died in the earthquake.

There is a lot of fatigue from the countries that have been trying to help Haiti since 2010. And now, Haiti is likely to appeal for more aid.

How vulnerable is Haiti to earthquakes?

The earthquake that struck Haiti on Aug 14, 2021 morning occurred on the same system of faults as the one that devastated the capital, Port-au-Prince, on Jan 12, 2010. And the previous quake almost certainly made this one more likely to occur.

Both quakes struck on an east-west fault line at the convergence of two tectonic plates, large segments of the Earth’s crust that slowly move in relationship to each other. At this fault line, called the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone, the Caribbean plate and the North American plate move laterally, or side by side, with respect to each other at a rate of about a quarter of an inch a year.

Susan E. Hough, a seismologist with the United States Geological Survey who studied the 2010 earthquake, said there was no doubt that the two quakes were linked. “It’s well established that you do have this domino concept,” she said, where the energy released by one earthquake alters the stress patterns elsewhere along the fault line. “But we don’t have a crystal ball that tells us which domino is going to fall next.”

She said that the fault ruptured both vertically and laterally. Preliminary analyses suggested that the fault ruptured to the west, which would mean that most of the energy was directed away from Port-au-Prince and toward the more sparsely populated region along the Tiburon peninsula. If that’s the case, then most of the aftershocks that inevitably follow a large earthquake would most likely occur to the west as well. “To the extent that anything could be good news for Haiti, those are good signs,” Dr. Hough said.

The fault zone extends west to Jamaica, which is also at risk of major earthquakes. In addition to the 2010 quake, the fault zone was most likely the source of four major earthquakes in the 18th and 19th centuries, including ones that leveled Port-au-Prince in 1751 and again in 1770. One reason the 2010 quake, which subjected some three million people to "severe shaking," was so damaging is that it occurred at a relatively shallow depth, the fault having ruptured about 10 kilometers below the surface.

Note: Damage and casualties from quakes depend on many factors besides magnitude. The depth and location of the rupture, the time it occurred and the quality of construction all can play major roles. In the 2010 earthquake, shoddy construction - especially poorly built masonry buildings - was blamed for many of the deaths and injuries.

Duh kumbe kuuza nchi inawezekana!

Iliwezekana enzi hizo karne ya 18 kurudi chini. Na ni viongozi wenye maono uthubutu na ujasiri waliliweza hili. Walipatata pingamizi lakini hawakujali.

Rais Andrew Johnson wa Marekani alipoinunua Alaska 1867 kutoka Urusi alipingwa sana na senate lakini wanaona matunda yake sasa hivi. Licha ya strategy Alaska imebarikiwa na rasilimali mbali mbali kwaanzia misitu, uvuvi na mafuta.

Warusi hawakuwa na vishen walipoiuza Alaska kwa wamarekani with just a stroke of a pen on the paper Czar Alexander II akaiuzia Alaska Marekani 7.4 m US dollars.

Leo Urusi inajuta. Pia California, New Mexico, Arizona na Nevada yalikuwa majimbo ya Mexico kupitia 'annexation' sijui kwa kiswahili ikabidi yajiunge na Marekani kupitia treaty ya Guadeloupe Gelgado.

Texas nayo ikafuata na mto wa Rio Grande ukatenganisha Mexico.
