Given the state of despair into which Haiti is sinking, we believed we had the right to expect a demonstration of good faith on the part of Ariel Henry, in the sense that he should consider the time had come to play fair, to truly work for the good of the nation. But unfortunately ! Having his allegiances to those who chose him as de facto Prime Minister, he does not feel obliged to the Haitian people. He only did it again with the publication of a 9-page pamphlet.
“there is cause for shock in noting that the monarch Henry Nul is followed in the field of imposture and deceit by representatives of groups from whom we expected better.”
New York, Wednesday December 28, 2022 ((rezonodwes.com))–
Since the CORE Group, acting under the dictation of Washington, is the real boss of Ariel Henry, for having placed him in the Prime Minister’s office, the Haitian people must address their denunciations, grievances and grievances concerning him to these entities. After the multiple excesses of the latter, in particular the various agreements intended to promote a way out of the crisis, deliberately trapped, therefore having failed, it remains to ask the international community to rectify the situation. But first, let her stop misrepresenting the real mission of the de facto Prime Minister.
Indeed, the nine-page document, which is called “National Consensus for an Inclusive Transition and Transparent Elections” represents Dr. Henry’s latest imposture, in the space of eighteen months. And Agreements which resulted from inter-Haitian negotiations, almost under the supervision of foreign embassies, based in Haiti, have never been unanimous within the Haitian community, this did not seem to worry the latter too much. From one round of transactions between Haitians to another that ended in failure, the guardian nations prescribe others. Without giving firm orders to stop the unfair maneuvers that herald disappointments.
When the multidimensional crisis that Haiti is experiencing has worsened considerably, to the point of leading the head of government to request the intervention of a special foreign military force, with a view to subduing the armed gangs taking hostage more than 68% of the territory, as noted by the international community, were launched from new inter-Haitian negotiations. Given the state of despair in which Haiti is gloomy, we thought we had the right to expect a demonstration of good faith from Ariel Henry, in the sense that he must have felt the time had come to play fair , to truly work for the good of the nation.
However, it must be remembered that having his allegiances towards those who chose him as Prime Minister, he does not feel obliged towards the Haitian people. He has already proven it, throughout his eighteen-month career as head of government. He is only doing it again with this latest document.
After all the anti-Haitian strategies that he has launched, since his arrival as prime minister, on July 20, 2021, without incurring blame from his bosses, or the order to change policy, who can claim that the results of his negotiations are not inspired by his guardians? Especially when the latter, gathering behind the Americans, support, without reservation, the slightest decisions of Ariel Henry reiterating his promises of “elections”, a magical expression, recurring in the various agreements, and which is part of the political-diplomatic objective of the international community. The de facto Prime Minister lends himself to it blindly, being part of the strategy of establishing long-term political management, following the interests of these countries. Should we not therefore believe that Haitian meetings and negotiations are strongly encouraged, or even demanded, by the international community and that they are not led by it?
Here then, whatever these so-called guardian countries do and say, to defend themselves from the accusation attributing to them the socio-political crises of Haiti and the failure of democracy which led to the cohort of misfortunes which befell our country, the more they stick to them. In this regard, the decision-makers of American policy towards Haiti impose themselves as the main impediments to the industrial, economic and political development of our country, in addition to the harmonious evolution of its society.
Not happy with theattitude antipatriotique d’Ariel Henrytowards its foreign bosses, relegating the interests of the Haitian people to the trash, there is cause for shock in noting that he is followed in the area of criminality by representatives of groups from whom we expected better. At least patriotic behavior in harmony with the slogans they shout about all day long.
There is much to criticize the de facto Prime Minister in the document presented on December 21. But the most insulting, but even more serious, remains the role attributed to the body composed of three members, which is called “High Council of the Transition” (HCT). (Big names kill puppies), this term was, undoubtedly, created to impress the members of this organization and to give good conscience to the designers, national and foreign, of the criminal act and treason announced on that date.
Certainly, the agreement reached, with the participants of the meeting of December 21, aims to express differently the role that the White intends to entrust to Ariel Henry, and which makes him wear the double hat of head of state and that of the government. Since he engaged in the acrobatics of inter-Haitian negotiations, such a formula always ultimately emerges. Here is an “unavoidable” Dr. Henry planted in the scene, by the Americans, as the exclusive agent of the State Department. In this sense, Brian NicholsUndersecretary of State for Hemispheric Affairs, had spilled the beans. Had he not declared, to politicians and party leaders meeting with him, during a mission to Haiti, that the de facto head of government, although accused of having played a role in the assassination of de facto president Jovenel Moïseremains “obligatory”, in any solution that emerges to resolve the crisis.
Thing said thing done, again, in the “conciliation” found between Dr Henry and politicians, mostly from the PHTK and their allies, at this same pre-Christmas meeting. The High Council of the Transition, composed of Mirlande Manigat, Laurent Saint-Cyr and Calixte Fleuridor, is not part of the Executive, its members playing the role of sidekicks. Authorized to participate in the councils of ministers, they remain advisors there, without deliberative voice. Which is different from the de facto Prime Minister, President of the Council of Ministers having the last word in decision-making, with this one.
In light of all these facts, resulting from the document of December 21, 2022, questions must be addressed to the international community. Obviously, this agreement aims to make Mr. Nichols’ warning a reality, just to ensure that Ariel Henry is the one responsible for rendering the verdicts reinforcing the policy and diplomacy of the guardian countries. But, above all, preventing a “dangerous and inflexible intruder, or worse” from taking control of the Republic. This strategy is necessary to preserve “state secrets” carefully guarded “in the name of political and diplomatic stability ».
If the acrobatics of recent months by the Americans and their allies, to achieve an agreement guaranteeing the holding of general elections, by Ariel Henry, have all resulted in failure, who can guarantee that the agreement of December 21 will achieve the desired objective ?
After what the underside of the unhealthy actions of the Americans and their alliesas part of their Haitian policies, from the years 2009 to 2011, who opened the door to the National Palace, Haitian Party of Shaved Heads (PHTK), the Haitian people cease to have a good-natured attitude towards diplomats on a mission to influence national policy, in all its dimensions. Also, he will never stop balking at all the plots mounted against him, especially with the collaboration of his lost sons. So the time has come to tell Ariel Henry’s boss: Stop it!
