Port-au-Prince, April 26, 2024 [AlterPresse] — April 26 is a cursed date in the history of Haiti. Precisely on Friday morning, April 26, 1963, after what appears to be an attempt to overthrow his 2 children, the dictator François Duvalier unleashed a series of massacres, in Port-au-Prince, against many people, especially soldiers, who he considered to be those who did not agree with the regime his hard end. François Divalye killed many people, including babies, and set fire to several houses. Therefore, François Duvalier declared himself president in 1964. On Friday, April 26, 2013, 50 years later, a committee to commemorate the massacre of Friday, April 26, 1963 (61 years ago, Friday, April 26, 2024) la) gave a list of 73 people, the brutal regime killed and disappeared, among them several soldiers and their families, such as a baby who was 9 months old. The committee exposed many photos of people who were murdered and disappeared by the Divalier regime on Friday, April 26, 1963 in Port-au-Prince.
On Saturday, April 26, 1986, which was 23 years since the bloodbath in the streets of Port-au-Prince, the military of the Haitian army shot at a crowd that came to demonstrate in front of Fort Dimang barracks, near Lasalle, Port-au-Prince, where they killed 11 people and injured tens of others.
On Thursday, April 25, 2024, gangs and guns pushed many families on Dëlma, especially in the Dëlma 24 area, to flee their homes to seek refuge elsewhere. They were bursting with gunshots, gangs and guns burned many houses in Délma 24.
For several days, gangs with guns invaded the space of the newspaper Le nouvelliste in Disant Street, Port-au-Prince. Gangs and guns steal all kinds of equipment, office supplies, printing materials, etc. Because of the rampages of gangs and weapons, only the online newspaper Nouvelis can appear today. This is what the leaders of Nouvelis newspapers say, they say they rely on the judiciary and the police to take consequential measures to protect people’s lives and property in Haiti.
The right to access information is a life resource. The right to access information must have a large place in the process and discussion to get out of the crisis that is shaking the country of Haiti, a crisis that has been raging for several months. The rest of the world must be aware of what is happening in Haiti. The country of Haiti needs journalists, more than in previous years. That is why more than 90 Haitian journalists, in collaboration with the organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF), sent a short cry, Tuesday, April 16, 2024, to the international community and the President’s Council for the transition, to prevent Haiti from would be a waste of information.
On Thursday, April 25, 2024, the United States government sent another plane to the international airport of Port-au-Prince. This third plane carries material that can challenge the national police to face the gangs and their guns. This is what the US embassy in Haiti has announced, without giving any precision on what material will lead the national police to exchange horns with gangs and weapons.
The transitional government, which will be established in the country of Haiti, must be angry with all the bad practices that put the country of Haiti in its current state. Members of the transitional government must say what assets they own, immediately after they take the political reins. It is a way to give a good example to all those who will lead the country of Haiti. Also, all state institutions and organizations, such as AAN (which is in charge of the airports), Apn (which is in charge of the unloading and shipping of goods on the docks), Oavct (which handles car and motorcycle insurance), Lona, Ofatma, National Fund education, Road maintenance funds, etc., make public the balance sheet and financial situation for the past 5 years. It is the requirement of the gathering of the organization called Together Against Corruption.
Several governments and international organizations have removed their hats to the President’s Council for the transition, which will be installed on Thursday, April 25, 2024. In taking the political power of the country of Haiti, the President’s Council for the transition must work to change the living conditions of all Haitians. That is the position of the US government.
The president’s council for the transition is an important step to restore security and democracy in Haiti. According to the Canadian embassy in Haiti, the Canadian government is ready to help Haiti out of the crisis that has been stirring its budget for several years.
The installation of the President’s Council for the transition is an important step in the transition process in Haiti. To support this transition, it is necessary for multinational security forces to be deployed on the territory of Haiti. It is the position of the Union of European countries.
Immediately after the official installation of 9 members of the President’s Transitional Council, the government of Kenya, through the intermediary of President William Ruto, declared that it was ready to send policemen to take over the leadership of a multinational force that was supposed to be deployed to improve security in Haiti.
