Causes of Repression in Haiti Tangle with Firmin Uprising
The Hayti turmoil centers on President Nord Alexis hunting suspected enemies after General Antenor Firmin led an insurrection. Refugees seek shelter in American, French, and German consulates while arms were seized in New York. France and Germany balk at surrendering refugees, fearing humane treatment and political backlash. General Frédérique accuses Alexis of a coup by pardoning refugees and fears a broader uprising as executions and terror widen, with exiles fleeing.
