Dear Editor,
Recently there was much outrage over Trump’s statement on how Haiti is a s-hole country. What was even more amusing is the amount of people who were outraged by this statement. Right away, I realised a lot of mad people are living out of Guyana (probably they are some Guyanese ancestry in them).
Trump is very much correct in saying that Haiti is a s-hole country.
People are having a hard time understanding what is a s-hole country, they think they are living in a paradise. Here are a few things to consider before deciding whether your country is s-hole or not:
When people leave high school, university etc there are no jobs. When you have to open an egg ball stall after completing your degree, you are living in a s-hole.
When the government is corrupted, you are living in a s-hole country.
When the Police Force is not able to control the crime situation in your country then your country is s-hole.
When over 80% of the population is living below the poverty line, then you are living in a s-hole.
When your country has the highest number of orphans in the world, you are living in a s-hole.
When cock fighting is one of the most common sports (which is extremely cruel to animals), you are living in a s-hole country.
When 40% of your children are suffering from starvation, you are living in a s-hole.
When less than half the population has access to toilets and clean running water, you are living in a s-hole.
When your country is known for its high AIDS infected population, you are living in a s-hole.
When many persons are migrating illegally, then you are living in a s-hole.
When over 200,000 children in your country are living as slaves, you are living in a s-hole.
There are many more things that make Haiti a s-hole country, if you use google you will see. Haiti is not a paradise and we must be bold enough to speak the truth. Haiti is a s-hole and Guyana is a madhouse. If anybody says that, then that person should be honoured for speaking the truth.

(Kaieteur News) – I am not surprised that electricity demand in Linden has surged by more than 135 per cent from its 2005 level. In fact, given the price at which electricity is supplied there, it would be surprising if demand had not surged. The figures tell the story. Electricity consumption...Sep 06, 2026
By Sir Ronald Sanders (Kaieteur News) – The world has broken the 1.5°C promise it made to its most vulnerable countries. The breach has not yet been recorded on a sustained basis, but the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) says it is widely assessed as unavoidable and likely within the...Sep 13, 2026
Hard truths… (Kaieteur News) – Never knew Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo to be sneaky. Sloppy, hostility personified and sleeker than mercury, he can be. But not sneaky, not he. Hence, I weigh why he waited until Pres. Ali’s back was turned to show his face at the Arthur Chung Convention Center...Freedom of speech is our core value at Kaieteur News.
