When was the last time a Haitian ambassador (duly ratified by the Senate) managed to influence the politics of the country in which he was accredited?
The after-effects of 18th century slavery still seem to inhabit the brains of Haitian leaders, who cannot run the country without the strict application of any order from Western embassies accredited in Haiti, according to trade unionist Gary Jean Baptiste, who spoke Thursday morning on the “Booster” show on Radio Mega.
Mr. Jean Baptiste affirms that “no one becomes DG of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) without the contribution of embassies”.
The main spokesperson for SPNH-17, who however refrained from directly citing the names of the embassies concerned, explained that this is the case of Mr. Frantz Elbe, who is still in office despite his bitter failures since his arrival at the head of the police institution.
“Even for the appointment of a departmental director, you need the approval of an economic sector,” admitted Gary from SPNH-17, citing the case of the former strongman of the Grande-Anse police station who served his butter.
According to the trade unionist, there is a great risk of deluding ourselves if we start to think that the forces of the non-UN mission including the Kenyan troops and others will be able to solve the security problem in Haiti with these same heads. at the PNH, where many bandits are hiding.
