Haitians Train for a Future With a Military

In Haiti, there is no military, and two third of the population are unemployed.

“The military was disbanded over human rights abuses in 1995 by President Jean-Bertrand Aristide after years of political turmoil, making Haiti one of a handful of countries without an army.” “But now President Michel Martelly is pledging to revive it, pressing forward with a plan to reconstitute the Haitian military as a kind of national guard or civil defense force to supplement the weak national police.” (New York Times)

Now men are training to join military that is if there is going to be. The army is useful for national security and is one way to solve the unemployment.
