| Messieurs,
Je voudrais juste apporter mon point de vue par rapport a ces chefs de Cite-Soleil dont vous parlez.
A mes yeux et les evenements m'ont souvent donne raison (et l'histoire d'Haiti de facon generale le demontre parfaitement), ces chefs de gang ne sont ni plus, ni moins que des mercenaires. Ils vont servir la main qui les paie (sans vraiment se soucier du bien du peuple, ni le defendre).
Tout ca pour dire que sous le gouvernement interimaire, il n'y a jamais eu de volonte de finir avec ces groupes armes dans les bidonvilles. D'ailleurs, on a vu la violence et les kidnappings augmenter a un rythme effarant.
Le plan sous l'interim a toujours ete d'alimenter cette violence et de s'en servir pour mousser le retour des forces armees (presentee comme seul moyen de contrer l'insecurite).
Et c'est pour cela que le combat contre l'insecurite mene par l'administration Preval/Alexis n'est pas aussi facile qu'il n'y parait a premiere vue, car des gens a l'interieur meme de l'Etat pousse dans le sens contraire des efforts du gouvernement, car pour eux, l'objectif est le retour de l'armee (qui doit avoir comme excuse un climat de violence eleve dans le pays).
Donc, a mon avis, pendant l'interim de Gerard Latortue, ces chefs de gang faisaient un travail tres precis (et ce n'etait pas de defendre les interets du peuple). |

C'est une belle analyse qui touche des points intéressants sur la vision de la sécurité du Premier ministre Latortue. Toutefois, je ne peux pas dire que ce gouvernement n'a pas essayé avec la collaboration de la minustah d'en finir avec les gangs violents dans la cité. Il faut reconnaitre qu'il y avait un aspect politique des deux cotés. Du côté du gouvernement, on voulait revenir avec l'armée certes mais il n'avait pas les moyens de ses ambitions. D'un autre coté, il ne fait aucun doute que le camp opposé au coup d'état contre Aristide ne voulait pas de retour de l'armée ni contribuer à la pacification d'Haiti sans la possibilité du retour du président Aristide.
Maintenant il y a un pouvoir lavalas sans Aristide, il est plus facile pour ce gvt de pacifier le terrain que celui de Latortue -Gousse l'ancien ministre de la justice qui harcelait les lavalassiens.
Je pense que nous sommes dans la bonne voie pour rétablir la paix et la sécurité en Haïti . Cependant il faut des actions concrètes du gouvernement haïtien pour rétablir l’autorité de l’état haïtien sur tout le territoire. Ce gouvernement doit cesser de décourager, de démobiliser et de démotiver la population haïtienne. C'est pourquoi que je réclame au plus sacrant un remaniement ministériel.
En résumé, il est clair que le gouvernement de Latortue ne pouvait en aucun cas en finir avec l'insécurité puisqu'il est le résultat d'un mouvement qui a déstabilisé un gouvernement élu démocratiquement. Il y avait trop de frustration politique dans ce pays pour arrêter cette violence qui venait de toute part. Il faut rappeler que les combattants du mouvement GNB étaient entrés en rébellion aussi contre le premier ministre Latortue. On connaissait la suite.
Enfin sur la question de dictateur, je n'ai aucun problème avec les gens qui pensent que JBA avait une petite tendance de dictateur. En effet, Aristide était un prêtre avant qu’il devienne président d’Haïti. On connait la culture politique de l'église. Les religieux ne sont-ils pas des rois dans leur chapelle. Aristide n’est-il pas le seul coq chanté de son Fanmi Lavalas ? _________________ Solidarité et Unité pour sauver Haiti

| Les gangs de Cité Soleil sont-ils des militants lavalas? Bien sur que non!
S'ils sont des militants, Fanmi lavalas doit etre considéré comme une organisation criminelle ou une association de malfaiteurs. Il ne faut pas oublier les actes posés par ces gangs: assassinats, kidnaping, viols, vols....
Si des jeunes veulent intégrer un parti politique, je pense qu'il n'est pas normal de les transformer en criminels. Ils avaient plutot besoin d'éducation.
Personnellement, je persiste à croire que ces gangs ne sont pas des militants politiques et n'ont aucune affiliation avec Fanmi Lavalas.
Je profite aussi pour demander à tous les membres lavalas de ce forum de ne pas endosser ces gangs. Ce sont des des criminels qui doivent etre exécutés. Dans des pays pratiquant la démocratie, ces assassins n'auront meme pas le droit de voter voire pour s'affilier à un parti politique. |

| Je dois éclaircir un point suite à l'intervention de mon bon ami colo. Je ne pense pas que les gangs de cité soleil sont des membres de Fanmi Lavalas. Mais il est intéressant de rappeler aux lecteurs qu'il y avait beaucoup de frustration politique sous l’administration du premier ministre Gérard Latortue. A cet effet, nous pouvons dire que les gangs ont su profiter de cette frustration politique pour commettre des crimes.
Je demeure convaincu que si les politiciens haïtiens deviennent des démocrates, si le pays ne produit plus de putschistes. L'état d'Haiti pourra réduire les méfaits de cette violence sur la société haïtienne. Car il ne fait aucun doute que la déstabilisation politique favorise un climat de violence criminelle au pays. Comme disait Aristide ; De l'ordre nous en avons besoin pour lancer ce pays dans la cour des grands. _________________ Solidarité et Unité pour sauver Haiti

| La dissolution de l'armée haïtienne par le président Aristide constitue un véritable coup d'éclat. La présence de près de 20 000 marines américains dans les rues de la capitale haïtienne était suffisante pour permettre au président Aristide de venir à bout d'une armée jugée trop belligérante. Sans coup férir, Aristide a par miracle, débarrassé le pays de ces éternels putschistes sans effusion de sang (en douceur). Je me rappelle d'une question posée par un professeur d'histoire burundais: Quel est le pays au monde où l'on compte le plus de coups d'Etat militaires? Réponse: HAITI Depuis 1994, de nombreux pays doivent nous envier de ce grand exploit, d'autant plus que, la création d'une armée coûte énormément d'argent. Pourquoi tous nos hommes politiques n'adoptent-ils pas le modèle Suisse et Costa Ricain où l'armée n'existe pas? Le 29 février 2004, les soldats américains devaient débarquer en Haïti eux-mêmes pour accomplir le sale boulot. Le monde entier avait les yeux rivés sur eux en découvrant les images du kidnapping du président Aristide à la télévision. Or d'habitude, se sont les militaires haïtiens payés par les membres des services secrets américains qui renversaient nos élus. (L'armée était déjà dissoute!!!). En gros, tout est loin d'être parfait, mais, le pays a fait un grand bond en avant dans ce domaine précisément. Gardons ce cap! Amoph |

Colo, Cessez avec ces opinions simplistes.Pourquoi qu'il n'y avait pas toutes ces violences avaant le coup d'Etat de 2004? Moi ,j'ai toujours pris l'example de ce qui était arrivé dans les autres pays. Dans les années 80s ,le gouvernement de Ronald Reagan afin de déstabiliser le gouvernement de Michael Manley facilitait l'armement des partisans de EDWARD SEAGA. Les partisans de MANLEY pour se protéger des partisans de SEAGA s'armaient à leur tour. Durant une période d'élections ,il y avit des milliers de morts victimes des batailles rangées. Oui,Manley avit perdu l'élection ,mais la violence n'avait jamais cessée. L'année dernière,il y avait presque 2000 victimes de violence à la Jamaique. C'est parce que les poutchistes perpétuels refusent de respecter les règles du jeu que les autres ne le respectent pas non plus. La violence de ces dernières années est à 90% la responsabilité des GNBis. La violence a son propre dynamisme

| Joel,
Je vous en prie.
Si chaque parti politique a son groupe armé, on doit se préparer à avoir une guerre civile et non une démocratie.
L'armée Cannibale d'Amiot Métayer a toujours révelé l'origine de ses armes. Au lieu de parler de coup d'état, on doit parler de rébellion.
Je le repète encore, ces jeunes avaient besoin de l'instruction et non de fusils pour s'entretuer.
Tout leader politique qui encourage la lutte armée ou fournit des armes de guerre à leurs militants doit etre emprisonné ou exécuté lorsque la loi de la peine mort devient en vigueur.
Avec de petits gangs armés à droite et à gauche, on n'aura jamais la sécurité pour attirer les investisseurs et touristes.
Je vous invite encore une nouvelle fois à vous détacher de ces militants armés qui sèment la violence et le deuil au sein de nos familles en Haiti. |

| Cette interview de Patrick Elie pourrait etre une rubrique séparée, mais vu qu'elle fait la lumière sur beaucoup de faits attachés au renversement du président Aristide aussi bien que sur les problèmes endémiques de notre pays. Je le présente ici.Il faut comprendre l'historique et la dynamique de ces évènements pour appréhender les causes de nos malheurs. February 27, 2008Haiti's Catch-22 An Interview with Patrick Elie by Darren Ell The Dominion - http://www.dominionpaper.ca UN occupation troops occupy the Cité de Dieu neighborhood of Port-au-Prince during a mass arrest on February 1st, 2008. Photo: Darren Ell (c)2008 A biochemist by training, 58-year-old Patrick Elie is a political activist in Haiti, who has been fighting since the 1980s for the right of all Haitians to shape their country's political future. A member of Jean-Bertrand Aristide's cabinet in exile following the 1991 coup d'état, and Secretary of State for Defence after Aristide's return, Elie recently and reluctantly accepted President René Préval's request to preside a commission studying the question of security in Haiti. In this interview, conducted in Port-au-Prince four years after the 2004 coup d'état against the Aristide regime, Canadian photojournalist Darren Ell asks Elie about the obstacles to Haiti's quest for true sovereignty.What is the connection between Haiti's crumbling infrastructure and recent political history in Haiti? I'm thinking in particular of Haiti's roads, which are so dangerous to navigate. Roads in Haiti are difficult to maintain because of our limited means, but also because of the topography of the country: mountains, running water because of deforestation, and so forth. More importantly, the strength of the mobilization we had when Aristide was elected in 1990 has been broken twice. During Préval's first presidency, there was more interference. We have had no continuity. You don't build infrastructure in two days, not even over one mandate. It requires a national plan that holds over a quarter or half a century. If you get clobbered every time you move forward, then you're constantly wasting money. Nothing ever gets finished. Every progressive government in Haiti since 1990 has found itself in the position of trying to fix a collapsing house, while assassins are trying to break down the back door. People looking at the house later blame the government, but it was busy the whole time keeping the assassins-–you guys!-–from breaking in with your machine guns. People always leave out that part-–the constant aggression, the constant sabotage. You'll hear people say, "Aristide spent 10 years in power and he achieved nothing!" It makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. After seven months in government he was overthrown by a military coup. He spent three years in exile and they count these years in assessing his performance as president at the time. He gets a second term of five years, cut short by two years, and the three years he had in power were spent managing crises and embargos and destabilization campaigns, but they want to count all of that as if he had the opportunity to change things. This is a perverse assessment of his government. Don't forget, we're dealing with the consequences of two coup d'états, 1991 and 2004, the second one having terrible symbolic value: we were trying to celebrate our bicentennial, but instead we were humiliated and violated. It does terrible things to your spirit. It has created a lot of confusion and despair, which are not assets helpful in building a future. Some people said we were set back two years. I say we were set back 50 years. Now we do have a legitimate president, but the post-coup conditions of Haiti have made him obsessed with stability. He is paying more attention to our adversaries, both local and foreign, trying to neutralize and woo them, rather than taking his mandate from the poor of Haiti who gave it to him. Either the president accomplishes the task given to him by the poor or we're going to hit some rough water again. It's a Catch-22 when you've been made so dependent on the people who threw you down in a hole. You want to fight them, but they're holding the rope you need to get out. Canadians benefit from world-class publicly funded education, health care, transportation and telecommunications. In Haiti, these crucial services are almost completely privatized. Can you put the issue of privatization in perspective? We are probably the most privatized country in the world, but they want to weaken the state even more. People in Canada and the US probably think we have a strong government, a Cuban-style state, and that we need to liberalize our economy. The reality is that 84 per cent of kids go to private schools. This has tremendous and terrible consequences. It's the same for public transportation: it's totally private. Water distribution is privatized. Health care is almost totally private. If you go to the General Hospital, the main public hospital in Port au Prince, you will find it completely surrounded by private clinics and drug stores, all run by the doctors working in the hospital. What interest do they have in providing good health care in the hospital? Security is increasingly privatized. There are 6,000 police officers in Haiti, but 15,000 private security agents. Everything that should be in the hands of the state has been taken away by business interests or by the plague of NGOs. NGOs are being used to slowly remove all the flesh from the state. Unless we react to this invasion, it could be the thing that finally vanquishes us. Look at the matter of Teleco, our once-public telephone company. Any serious government in Haiti should go back and arrest every general director of Teleco. Telecommunication represents a huge market in Haiti. Teleco used to be our only telecom. It was publicly owned, it had a huge head-start and it was the first one to start a wireless service. But it was deliberately ruined and undermined so that Digicel and other private firms could come in and rob Haitians of profits that could have been reinvested by the state for their benefit. As it is, it's simply making rich people richer. The idea that the state cannot manage things correctly is pure hogwash. Cuba is an example of a country functioning much better than Haiti and other countries I won't mention. It's nonsense that a state can't run something efficiently. You simply have to extirpate corruption. That is entirely possible to do. Rather than selling state-owned enterprises to private interests and giving control to unelected, unaccountable people--which will not solve the problem of corruption--the answer is to clean up corruption. Because the people financed the creation of these companies, they belong to the people. The people need to be mobilized into this fight by showing them what they are losing because of corruption and by showing them what they lose when these companies are simply given away. Privatization is not the way forward. We've already seen what happened because of the privatization of water resources in Latin America. We've also seen how the USSR has gone from a superpower to a Third World country by giving away what the state owned. What are the challenges facing the agricultural sector of the Haitian economy, the peasantry? There are many important issues facing peasants, and they're important for the whole country. The price of fertilizer is one; the availability of irrigation water is another. If the Artibonite Valley alone could be given what it needs to produce, Haiti could be exporting rice rather than importing 340,000 tons per year. This wouldn't require big changes in our policies. But we would run afoul of the US policy of subsidizing rice from South Carolina and dumping it into Haiti. This all began with Jean-Claude Duvalier, when licences to import rice were given to friends of the president. It hit full-stride under the post-Duvalier dictators, who totally liberated rice imports. Now we only produce 60,000 tons of rice, but we need 400,000 tons. It's destroying the peasants. But there's a lot of money being made on those 340,000 tons and the Americans will react if we try to turn that policy around. It's a conspiracy. Haitian peasants used to have pigs completely adapted to our environment. The US, with the complicity of the Duvaliers, completely wiped out Haitian pigs on the pretence of swine flu, then destroyed Haitian pig production by introducing a species of US pig that eventually died because it couldn't adapt to the environment. Then the peasants were even more vulnerable. The pig was like a "piggy bank" for the Haitian peasant. He had a few mango trees, a couple of avocado trees and a pig. Selling mangos and avocados covered regular expenses, but when it came time to send a child to school or pay for a doctor, he butchered and sold a pig and the money was there. Once the pig was gone, he had nothing left to do but chop down his trees and sell the wood. It was devastating to the peasants. There are policies behind all of these problems. Unfortunately, these policies have found partisans in Haiti. |

| Continuation. In Canada, everything from speed limits to water quality is carefully regulated by the state in order to protect the public. Talk about the question of regulation in Haiti. There are few regulations here. Those that exist are outdated or not applied. You can do whatever you want in Haiti. Private water companies are not required to test their water. If you want, you can get a building and some tools and start a treated-water vending operation. If you have enough money, you can buy land and turn it into a dump or set up a disco in the middle of a residential area. You can do whatever pleases your fancy unless you step on the toes of somebody powerful.
The state doesn't impose rules on schools. There is no regulation regarding the number of students in a class, nothing about student evaluation, teacher qualifications or the curriculum. People send their kids to schools run by a French organization and their exams are graded in France. You can open a two-room building with one teacher and call it a university. Nobody will come and look at what you're doing. You can call anything an "institute." You can put up a sign saying that you are a doctor curing AIDS and no one will ask you any questions. That is the situation. That is why we need to strengthen the Haitian state, not weaken it.
If 50 per cent of Haiti's federal budget comes from foreign aid and 85 per cent of its services are provided by foreign charities and NGOs, is Haiti really a sovereign nation? The sovereignty that Haiti won with so much blood, courage and daring in 1804 was lost when Haiti accepted to reimburse France for property lost during the revolution. Even though we had the appearance of sovereignty, Haitian peasants were breaking their backs to make the French bourgeoisie rich. It became more blatant when the US invaded Haiti in 1915, making sure to leave behind an occupation army in its place. Things since have gone from bad to worse. Haitians are very jealous of their sovereignty, but they're not always realistic about what constitutes sovereignty. We're not sovereign by any stretch of the imagination and if we don't react intelligently with a strategy in mind, we will lose every last piece of our sovereignty. It is only getting worse every day with the NGOs being given more and more power, with the UN military occupation and with a foreign administrative occupation trying to dictate the politics in Haiti.
I believe we can win the battle because the odds we face are no worse than what Haitians faced in 1791 when they went beyond freedom to sovereignty. It's a formidable, but not an impossible challenge.
To what extent do you blame foreign interference for the problems Haitians face today? Foreign interference in Haitian affairs dates to the birth of Haiti. There has always been a strong will to make Haiti fail. I'm not saying Haitians weren't partly responsible. But if I have to point a finger at Haitians, I'll point the same finger as Frederick Douglas did in 1893 when he said that the curse of Haiti was not the ignorant masses, but the educated and wealthy minority. They're the ones who destroyed the country through greed, believing themselves to be a European tribe in this land, different from the poor peasant masses they exploited so blatantly, then by getting in cahoots with the enemies of Haiti.
Foreign powers have played a great role in putting us in that situation, but they're not alone. They have their accomplices here. Take very recent history. I don't believe the US, Canada and France would have had the pretence to intervene had the Group of 184 and others not opened the door for them, had they not pleaded for an intervention and made it palatable for the average Canadian or American to think that it was their right to intervene, that it was their "responsibility to protect." I'm confident that 95 per cent of Canadians believe that Canada came here to protect Haiti, but none of them have asked themselves why Canadians and French and Americans weren't protecting Kenya or Chad or any other dozen countries in the world that had a worse situation in 2004. Rather than help us toward a negotiated settlement-–Aristide had bent over backwards to obtain this-–why did they send their paratroopers and marines? We have to constantly raise this question.
Aristide was kidnapped and dumped in the Central African Republic, a country in a state of permanent war, but I don't see any expeditionary force going there to re-establish peace, kidnap a president and so forth. Sri Lanka, which has a full-scale civil war in its midst, is sending soldiers to teach us about peace. Guatemalans are teaching us about democracy and human rights. It's so obvious to me that you've been lied to, but you've grown accustomed to those lies.
The Haitian army has always been a tool of internal repression in Haiti. You are overseeing a commission studying the question of security in Haiti. What is being said about this issue? First of all, the army was never a real army and it was certainly never Haitian. In 1915, US marines invaded Haiti and imposed US rule on Haiti. Early on, during the occupation, after disbanding the army that was there, they created a core of locals to help them fight the Haitian patriots, the peasant resistance. That's the birth of the monster. It was created as a monster, as a group of armed locals working under direct orders from US officers to kill Haitians opposed to the pacification of the population.
When the marines left, they left the monster with us, with the same mission: to repress its own people and occupy the country. After that, Haitian dictators used the army to protect their own power. It remained a tool of internal repression and as a tool for use by the foreign powers that created it. It happened all over Latin America. It's a recipe that's been applied everywhere the US or any other colonial power has left their mark.
Today, the Haitian state is unable to guarantee the security of its borders-–land, sea or air-–and it has to be able to do that. It will need some force to do that, but the idea of such a force conforming to the model that we had is intolerable. We have a chance for the first time in decades to define our own national security strategy and philosophy. I've accepted to head the commission looking at this problem, but it isn't going to be easy. Forces within this country will oppose the vision of a security force whose mandate is to protect the country and the nation rather than to crush the people's will. Of course, opportunistic foreign powers will resent this vision as well because a new army should not only protect the land, but also the political regime that the people have chosen. This is also the role of national security forces. They have to protect what the people choose. Already there are major efforts to turn the Haitian National Police into what the army was, a tool of repression and a referee of political life, something to be used to put pressure on certain politicians or to overthrow others.
What do you see as key solutions in Haiti's ongoing struggle? You build a country from the bottom up. In Haiti, that means the peasants, the Haitian countryside. Once that is the priority, the rest will follow. With cheaper fertilizers, better irrigation and modern tools instead of hand-held hoes, production would increase. The exodus to the slums would slow down. That's the way to go. Building electric plants for 24-hour electricity should not be a priority now. Port-au-Prince is sucking the country of its people. It started with the US occupation. The Americans centralized the administration of the country. Port-au-Prince became the centre. Prior to that, there were only regions. The US closed all the ports in other regions. Everyone started going to Port-au-Prince for opportunities even though there were none. This country has been living on the backs of Haitian peasants since the era of slavery. The wealth of the country has always come from the countryside, but we've never sent anything back to the peasants. This is one way to reclaim our sovereignty, by regaining control of our stomachs. It will build national cohesion.
What message would you like to pass on to Canadian and American readers? In your view, what should they be thinking about if they want to help Haiti? Become citizens in your own countries. You're nothing but consumers. You've lost control of your governments. Open up your eyes and ears to the lies you're being fed about other countries. Also, Canada should stop robbing, literally looting Haiti of its better minds that are so needed here, especially in the last five or 10 years. I've heard French President Nicolas Sarkozy speak about "chosen immigration,” but Canada has been doing it for years. I think the reason Canada is "involved" in Haiti is because it gets finished products without having invested in them; that is, Haitian minds: technicians, doctors and engineers. If you do the math, you'll see that Haiti has helped Canada much more than Canada has helped Haiti. It costs money to raise a kid, send him to school, then have someone grab that finished product for free and start using it. Please tell the Canadian government to stop baiting our kids. And stop destabilizing our country because it just makes it easier to entice and extract our most talented people.

The Failure Of Human Rights Watch In Venezuela And HaitiBy Joe Emersberger 25 February, 2008 Countercurrents.org The way Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported on Haiti and Venezuela in its 2008 World Report reveals an underlying assumption that the US and its allies have the right to overthrow democratic governments.[1] It is a matter of public record that the US funded groups who were involved in the coup of 2002 and continued to do so after the coup took place, but rather than denounce or even acknowledge US destabilization efforts in Venezuela, HRW continues to complain about the non-renewal of RCTV's public broadcasting license. [2] RCTV was one of big television networks that aided and abetted the coup. HRW objects that RCTV's involvement in the coup "was not proven in a proceeding in which RCTV had an opportunity to present a defense." It is impossible to imagine a non-farcical proceeding that would conclude otherwise, especially when the coup's perpetrators thanked the private media, of which RCTV was a major part, for its help. Before the coup was reversed Vice-Admiral Ramirez Perez told a Venezuelan reporter: "We had a deadly weapon: the media. And now that I have the opportunity, let me congratulate you." Judging by its reports, HRW is completely uninterested in whether the broadcaster that replaced RCTV on the public airwaves, TVes, offers viewers a wider variety of views. [3]"Freedom of the Press Barons" to perpetrate coups appears to be HRW's concern, not freedom of expression. It is worth remembering that HRW's response to the coup in Venezuela was appalling. Al Giordano summed their response up well in an exchange with an HRW intern: "They recognized an illegitimate 'authority' as legitimate. They failed to call for the removal of that dictatorial regime. They failed to call on other nations and the OAS to refuse to recognize it. They failed to call for invoking the OAS Democratic Charter for the one event it was intended to prevent."[4] Giordano's words could also be used to summarize how HRW responded to the US backed coup in Haiti in 2004. HRW used the 2008 World Report to criticize, yet again, a judicial reform law that was passed by the Chavez administration in 2004. In contrast, HRW's summary about Haiti said nothing about the coup that ousted Jean Bertrand Aristide's democratic government in 2004; nothing about the subsequent murder of thousands of people who supported Aristide's Lavalas movement (the word "Lavalas" does not even appear in the summary); nothing about the fact that Haiti's police and judiciary remain stacked with appointees from the dictatorship of 2004-2006; nothing about Father Gerard Jean Juste, the most prominent political prisoner of that period, who continues to be hounded by Haiti's legal system. [5] Even if HRW's criticism of Venezuela's judicial reform law of 2004 were reasonable (and it isn't) it cannot deserve more attention than the coup in Haiti that led to a human rights catastrophe. [6] On a positive note, the 2008 World Report belatedly gave some attention to the disappearance of Lovinsky Pierre Antoine, a prominent Haitian human rights worker and opponent of the 2004 coup. HRW stated: "In August 2007 a well known human rights advocate, Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine, was abducted. At this writing his whereabouts remain unknown." Again, the absence of the word "Lavalas" is telling. Pierre-Antoine disappeared days after he had announced that he would run for the Haitian senate as a Fanmi Lavalas Party candidate. The goal of the 2004 coup and the bloodbath that followed was to eliminate the Lavalas movement - the same goal with basically the same perpetrators as during the 1991-1994 period about which HRW reported extensively. [7] At first glance, the 2008 World Report seems to provide courageous and much needed criticism of powerful countries like the US. HRW is willing to contradict the Bush Administration on some important matters. For example, in a press conference about the 2008 World Report, HRW director Ken Roth refused to label Venezuela as a "closed country". However, Roth went on to say that human rights "trends were negative in Venezuela". That conclusion is justified only if one assumes that perpetrating coups and other acts of sabotage against a democratic government should have no legal repercussions at all. Meanwhile, in Haiti, when human rights trends really were disastrously negative thanks to a coup backed by the US and its allies, HRW displayed a chilling indifference.[8] An important lesson to learn from the coups that took place in Haiti and Venezuela is that US imperialism cannot succeed through the efforts of Neocons alone. It needs the help of other countries, and it needs the help of NGOs like Human Rights Watch. [9] Joe Emersberger contribtues to HaitiAnalysis.com |

| Mwen pankò janm li ou tande youn ayisyen ki dekri reyalite peyi dayiti pi byen pase Patrick Elie.Mwen pa konnen si youn kou deta posib ou pa posib ,men se youn sel bagay mwen ka di kan genyen plisyè moun tankou Patrick Elie nan youn gouvenman li pa fasil pou dechoukè yo jete gouvenman an saa.
mwen kwè tou Preval ka se youn dlo dousman ki pa manje anyen fret tankou Moriso Leroy te di youn fwa.Mwen pa kwè ti mèsenè ka fel kouri tankou Aristide.E si neg ki nan gouvenman saa jodya ta kite yo fout youn kou deta e byen yo pat merite vot pep la.Fok priyè kou deta saa genyen youn ensi swa til nan peyi ya pa tout moyen ki nesesè. |

Permettez-moi de commencer par un ensemble de questions avant de répondre la votre:
Quand a été le dernier coup d'état opéré en Haiti?
Sans doute, vous allez me répondre le 30 septembre 1991.
Je vais continuer par une autre question:
Le plus souvent, qui finance ces coups d'état?
Sans réfléchir, vous allez répondre la classe bourgeoise haitienne.
Ont-ils intéret aujourd'hui à financer un coup d'état?
Bien sur que oui. Actuellement, René Préval les oblige à payer des taxes et a meme emprisonné certains d'entre eux pour contrebande. Ils ont tout intéret à renverser la table.
Malheureusement, depuis l'abolition des FAD'H, ils n'ont plus de bras armés et sont incapables d'opérer des coups d'état.
De nos jours, comment opèrent-ils alors pour destabiliser le pays?
Ils profitent des faiblesses du pouvoir en place.
Par exemple, Titid s'était fait beaucoup d'ennemis après la faillite des coopératives, en attaquant les étudiants, en détruisant ses propres bases comme Ronald Cadavre ou Amiot Métayer. Alors, les ennemis perpétuels de la nation haitienne, les contrebandiers, infiltrent et renforcent la lutte de ces gens victimes du pouvoir en place jusqu'à le renverser et l'exiler.
Qu'en est-il des rebelles?
C'est un mythe qui était crée par Aristide lui-meme. L'armée cannibale était une OP armée par le régime Lavalas. Au lieu de parler de coup d'état, il faudrait alors parler de rebellion à l'intérieur du régime lavalas.
Et la communauté internationale?
Depuis 1991, ils n'ont plus la capacité de renverser un régime en Haiti. Ils attendent des facteurs internes pour opérer. Ils n'ont pas crée l'armée cannibale, déclencher la fureur des étudiants ou des victimes des coopératives. C'était bien le régime lavalas.
Dailleurs, ils ont intéret à voir un minimum de stabilité en Haiti afin d'arreter les flots de réfugiés haitiens que ce soit à Miami ou dans les Antilles francaises.
A la veille du quatrième anniversaire du renversement du président Aristide, un coup d'état est-il encore possible en Haiti ?
Si l'on considère tous ces facteurs, on ne peut plus avoir de coup d'état en Haiti. Par contre, on peut toujours avoir un renversement du président si le peuple le décide et manifeste dans les rues pour le réclamer comme cela a été le cas pour le 29 février 2004. |

mwen pa dakò ak repons ou yo pou plisyè rezon.Ou vle rann Aristide responsable de fayit kooperativ yo;eske se vre se li ki responsab de sa? mwen pat nan peyi ya men mwen pa konprann ki jan fè youn konpayi prive fè fayit epi se Presidan ki responsab de sa .Eske Arsitide te patnè nan kooperativ sa yo.eske se paske li te ankouraje moun patisipe nan yo ki fè li responsab?Si mwen ankouraje moun patisipe nan stock maket epi pou rezon ki pa depann de mwen stok maket la bese eske mwen responsab si youn moun pèdi lajan.
Nou ki genyen edikatyon fok nou eklere pep la se pa paske nou pa dakò ak youn moun pou nou ap tolere iyorans ou byen pou nou ab bat bravo lè genyen moun ki eksplwate iyorans pep la.Eske Georges bush responsab de sa ki te pase nan Enron la?Lè gouvenman te mete menot na men gwo ekzekitif Enron yo eske yo te jete gouvenman Georges Bush la pou sa.Lè Richard Nixon te voye gad natyonal nan kent universite kote te genyen menm 5 etidyan ki te mouri eske lelit ameriken yan te fè konplo ak russ yo ou byen chinwa yo pou yo te ranverse Nixon?
mwen pa konnen si se Aristide ki te bay lod touye Amyot Metayer.e mwen ta twouve Aristide byen kreten si li te bay lod saa.Men tou eske li enposib tou ke deboulonè yo fè touye Amyot ou byen touye Amyot pou fè moun raboto revolte?Lè youn krim fet se la jistis ki pou kondane moun ki koupab la se pa pou sa pou nou ranverse youn gouvenman.Mwen pa nan tolere oken delenkan ,men tou fok zafè chanje gouvenman tankou nou chanje chemiz sou nou fok li fini.Se pa paske nou pa bò tab la ki fè nou blije gate manje ya tou tan.se sak fè ayiti se swa nou ranverse gouvenman tou tan tankou nou te pase menm 5 gouvenman nan peryod ki te vini anvan 1915 ki fè nou te pran okipatyon ou byen nou jwen youn diktatè,met deyè nou tankou Tonton Nord Alexis ou byen Florvil Hyppolite ki pou fè nou mache dwat,SS.Fok tout moun respekte lwa e konstittyon peyi ya.Se pa youn Duvalier ki pou di:'J'ai oté à l'Armée son role de balancier de la securité nationale ."L'Armée ou jandamery se pa youn bann restavek oligachi ya ou byen youn peyi etranje fok se youn jandameri natyonalis byen disipline ki pou ranpalse fos indisipline sa ki te genyen anvan; depi chef yo ba yo lod yo voye arete presidans ki ap pale de ogmantatyon salè ou byen de sendika.ki vle gato a separe ak tout pitit peyi ya ekitableman.Ki ap raple malpouwont yo devwa yo anver peyi ya.
mwen pa kwè kou deta posib koulyè ya paske kominote enternatyonal mete nou sou okipatyon.se sak fè mwen di ke MINUSTAH saa se youn mal nesesè.menm lè mwen kritike krim ki fet nan katye pov yo men tou map mande si MInustah sa pat la si Preval ta ka fini manda li.Se pa 2 moun ki pa kontan ak Preval ak Alexis,byen ke mwen repwoche yo pou pares yo, mank visyon yo,indiferans yo,mank denerji e tolerans yo ak youn paket mazet ki chache plas ke yo paka okipe mwen pa kwè youn lot kou deta ap fè peyi ya byen.
Se pa vle oligachi ya pa ta vle jete Preval men chef yo di yo otan.Aristide te antreprann twop gwo batay an menm tan san li pat prepare youn fos disipline ki pou te pwoteje deyè li.moun pa fè revolutyon ak bouch ou selman.nou menm jenn gason ak jenn fanm ki genyen pou pran mayet la pi ta se pou nou pran eksanp de listwa peyi ya. pou nou konprann si pou nou retire malere nan mizè nwa saa. fok se sou fos pep la ke nou konte e se pou nou oganise li.youn jan pou genyen youn strikti ki pou ka disipline manb fos saa;distribiye zam a dwat a goch pa vle di ke w genyen youn fos.fok ou ba youn bon jan entrenman militè ak bon jan edikatyon sivik pou yo konnen byen sa yo ap defann pou yo pa kite boujwasi malpouwont lan enfiltre yo ak lajan ou vye pwomes nouvo kontra sosyal.
kote moun ki te di pep la mèsi apre Aristide pati tout bagay ap mache?kote gwoup 184 ki tap pale de nouvo kontra sosyal ki te fè menm moun ou ta kwè a kos de entelijans e edikatyon yo pa ta pran nan vye pwomes youn met dam ;yo rantre tankou mouton nan kan lenmi pep la.Jodya se yo ki ap kritike boujwasi derasine ya.Fok ayisyen goumen pou peyi ya pa pou ti job leta.Fok nou mete tet ansanb pou nou fè eksplwatè,spekilatè ,gwo manjè yo konprann ke se swa yo respekte volonte pep la ou byen yo anbake.esklavaj modern lan pa ka kontinye ankò. |
