Every intelligent boss eventually fires a subordinate who leads his interests to a dead end. But that’s a matter between the boss and the subordinate.
It is not the speech of this brown lawyer or that monied propagandist that will change reality. The de facto government has only one destiny: to maintain itself. It cannot produce consensus. The people who did not choose it do not want it.
And to maintain himself, he only has two tools: repressive violence and corruption which sends a few buffoons to defend him in front of the media. Poor buffoons, your words only reinforce the contempt in which a people holds you. Moreover, we feel that this is being done without fervor or conviction. You don’t even seem to believe what you’re saying. Ah, it’s very true that “lajan fè ti pope danse”, as the old women used to say. But not all clowns make you laugh.
The reality is this: it is the will of the de facto government against that of Haiti. We want a transitional government capable of ensuring elections, fighting crime and responding to a minimum of popular demands. The de facto government wants to maintain itself.
Poor buffoons, your words only reinforce the contempt in which a people holds you. Moreover, we feel that this is being done without fervor or conviction. You don’t even seem to believe what you’re saying.
The de facto government has on its side a police force that it uses as a tool of repression, the gangs it claims to fight, the arbitrary use of public finances, the support of powers installed in an imperial, absurd and criminal logic.
Yes, it is imperial, absurd and criminal logic to say that we support a power incapable of organizing elections because it should be replaced by elected officials. It is absurd logic to say that a power of which the gangs are the objective allies, they ensure control of the population, will fight them by bringing in a few little black soldiers. It is imperial logic to refuse a people to decide the course of their history by imposing on them a power they do not want. And it is a criminal logic because it leads to a state of war between this power and these people.

The de facto government can only maintain itself by repressing and killing. And the more he wants to repress and kill, the more he will face popular anger. Here we are, and we wonder how much the imbeciles who run the think tanks of certain foreign ministries are paid with the money of their fellow citizens.
The Haitian people have on their side their determination, a history of suffering and struggles against this suffering, their declared desire to change the relationship between the State and society, to establish a real democracy which is not possible without a minimum of social justice. He also has the mirror in which Western societies and states claim to look at themselves.
No matter how many lies come from far away… One day our lies end up catching up with us. You support Ariel Henry in the name of electoral logic, even though he has no legitimacy, has ruled arbitrarily for two and a half years, and has not held elections. How long will you support him? And you are going to help him repress those who are calling for his departure since he has no legitimacy? When its police shoot at crowds in which there are workers, intellectuals, representatives of civil society, will you say that they shot at bandits, while the gangs will continue to rage? Haiti is a small country, but the choices made in Haiti by the West will bear witness to its truths and its lies.
Every intelligent boss eventually fires a subordinate who leads his interests to a dead end. But that’s a matter between the boss and the subordinate.
Haiti will not accept the odious continuity.
Fifteen for fifteen, I bet…
