EDITORIAL: Following your loved one to hell!

August 1, 2023

It’s hard to see a loved one put into a difficult situation, but such is the American nurse who was kidnapped in Haiti as her husband has to work on without her by his side. Kidnapped, while doing good works. Alix Dorsainvil along with her daughter have been snatched from their work station in Port-Au Prince Haiti. Her husband must be frantic as he should be.

But the thing is, Alix followed her husband to Haiti, in hopes of helping the country during its current crisis. She said that it was her husband who encouraged her to come to Haiti and help. Sometimes love makes us do crazy things. Because she didn’t see herself as a white American anymore, but she saw herself as Mrs Dorsainvil, following her husband to help out in his home country.

But Haiti is a hell hole now. Her husband may have become used the dysfunction having grow up I Haiti, but at the end of the day, even before the recent spate of political and civil instability, Haiti was a dangerous place for foreigners. But we understand the need to follow our loved ones at their urging, but it is what it is.

We hope Mrs Dorsainvil and daughter are returned safe and sound and the kidnappers only want money. We will pray for them.

Spread the love
