“Watch them, stop them, there is a law for that”, that’s what we used to say when we were fighting against the dictatorship of all kinds.
The time has come today, while a transitional Presidential Council has just ascended to power, to say again: Watch them!
The Haitian people suffer too much.
We will not accept to fall into the same katchoubombe, which brought us to the situation we are in today.
The gangs continue to kill, maspin, force people to leave their homes, destroy hospitals, universities and police stations, block roads. They kidnapped the state. Poverty and hunger are spreading. It is a dying capital. It is a dying country.
When Dessalines said “cut off the head, burn the house”, it was not the unfortunate house, and the wretched struggling to find life.
For almost three years, several civil organizations, from the bottom of the country gathered under the banner of the Montana group. They propose a solution for a change that is angry with the restoration regime of the Haitian Party of the head of the bald head (Phtk), which, since 2010, is leading us, at full speed, into a bottomless ravine, aboard a death machine, running on gas corruption and impunity.
Several of Montana’s proposals, on security, justice, participation, decentralization, serve as the basis for the political agreement that has led us, today, to the installation of a transitional presidential council, which will allow the reset of the maps.
It is not all that Montana proposed in this agreement, but it is a COMPROMISE to stop the death machine, to have two more rules in the political game.
It is an important step. And we salute the efforts of all the participants and Caricom who helped make this agreement happen.
But the Haitian people suffer too much for us to accept cats in macout. And we can not put this cat to guard shortening.
The outgoing government of Ariel Henry, which brought us to where we are today, published a decree on the formation of the Transitional Presidential Council, which changed two important things in the agreement signed by all the participants with Caricom, an agreement they themselves signed.
WE WANT THIS AGREEMENT TO BE PUBLISHED WITHIN. We want to know what right the government we threw out has, to change the agreement.
Just as we think that the de facto government had no legitimacy to teach people about the Constitution, in the same way we think that those who contributed to the country in the state it is in cannot pretend to be the ones who control it. The council.
WATCH THEM! BARE THEM!
The Haitian people have suffered too much for us to accept going back to the same dirty game, holding power for personal gain, using gangs to prevent the people from asking “where does the Petro Caribbean money come from?”
The Montana Accord is based on a set of non-negotiable ethical values. They prepare a document that is distributed and received with respect at the national and international level.
It is these values that must be the basis of the Transitional Council, in respect of the law and the Constitution of our country.
By electing Montana’s candidate for the Transitional Council, they showed how transparent elections can be. They also show how Haitians, from different horizons, can sit together, discuss and reach consensus, because they put the country’s interests above their own personal interests. This is maddening with the system we have today.
We in the diaspora, who are supporting the Montana Agreement, are fighting all the politics of boiling and emptying, which have been eroding the country’s institutions for fourteen years. We denounce all delaying maneuvers, which always cause the country to continue to walk on the reinforcement of its shoes and leather in its hands.
We are tired of politicians who want to keep the same system of devaluing the coffers of the country, grabbing the power to fill their pockets, while they close their eyes to the violence and hunger that is ending our country.
And we have the right to know what is happening, in transparency.
We have the right to participate in what is being done in our name, the Haitian people.
We need two responsible people as the Coordinator of the Presidential Council and as the prime minister of the country, for the transition to be successful.
WE NEED PATRIOTS who believe in our country, who are qualified, who are honest, to lift us out of the crisis of death and destruction we are living today.
The Haitian people suffer too much
There is hope for change. Let’s not waste it.
NAP VEYE!
