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 avoid the country of Haiti waste of information.
It is difficult to imagine such a difficult situation, as the journalists are living what is happening now in the country of Haiti. Aside from various challenges, the media and journalists are facing a climate of terror and violence that has never happened before on the territory of Haiti. There are journalists who are subjected to all kinds of abuse, attacks, kidnappings. Journalists cannot move freely and freely, to seek information on the ground because of the terror of gangs and guns. Journalists also have great economic difficulties. The information sector is in great danger at all levels in the country of Haiti. This is what makes the profession of journalism should occupy an important place in all discussions, on how the country of Haiti can get out of the crisis that has been stirring its budget for several years.

Raping women and girls is an act that violates human dignity. That is why, as he says he is upset, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the de facto government of Haiti demands justice for a 14-year-old girl native of Haiti, who was raped at 5 o’clock in the morning on Friday, April 5, 2024, by the immigration agents of the Dominican Republic. who entered his home, while his parents were away, in Verón, Punta Cana, province of Altagracia, in the East of the Dominican Republic.
We regret that the native Haitians are forced to flee from Haiti, to seek a better life in other countries, where many times they die in bad conditions and suffer many cruel acts. It is a great tragedy that happened in Brazil, on Saturday, April 13, 2024, where the police of the city of Bragança in the State of Para (in the northern part of Brazil) discovered the corpses of 20 native Haitian migrants, who had begun to decompose in a boat on a large water in the area. This shows the need to create conditions for the children of Haiti to live well at home, without having to risk their lives in other countries. It is considered on AlterPresse and AlterRadio platform Group supporting repatriates and refugees (Garr).
The special issue of the official newspaper “Le Moniteur”, which has the decision to appoint 9 members of the President’s Council for the transition, which has been spread on social networks since Monday, April 15, 2024, is a real document, which comes from the truth. It is not a fake document. There are people who bought this official document on Monday, April 15, 2024, with receipts and stamps from the National Press of Haiti. This means that the National Press of Haiti has issued this special issue, since it has been sold. There are too many ups and downs, delays, time spent on this journey. We can’t back down anymore. Those concerned must make arrangements to install the Transitional Presidential Council. It is the statement on AlterPresse and AlterRadio Jean Tholbert Alexis, member of the political party Together we are strong, which is Ariel Henry’s alliance in the agreement of December 21, 2022.
After the big fuss at the end of last week, the official document, signed by the de facto government of Ariel Henry, which named 9 members of the President’s Council for the transition, finally came out. The official document is dated Friday, April 12, 2024, according to a source that can be trusted by AlterPresse and AlterRadio. Smith Augustin, Louis Gérald Gilles, Fritz Alphonse Jean, Edgard Leblanc fils, Laurent St. Cyr, Emmanuel Vertilaire and Leslie Voltaire, are the names of the 7 members who will have the right to vote in the discussions of the President’s Council for the transition. Régine Abraham and Frinel Joseph, are 2 members who will not have the right to vote in the speech of the President’s Council for the transition.
Is there political manipulation? In any case, the de facto government is working to make public, “in the best time frame and in the best possible conditions”, the official document that appoints 9 members of the President’s Council for the transition. This is what the Ministry of Communications said in a note, beginning the afternoon of Monday, April 15, 2024.
What rogue games are being done on the backs of the population, under great pressure? The more time passes without any consequential provision, the more the population will continue to suffer. The more the de facto government is interfering in the political direction of the country of Haiti, where it has not given anything since July 20, 2021, since 33 months today. It is said by many voices in various sectors.
In a statement on Monday, April 15, 2024, the European Union requires the de facto government to make public without any delay, immediately (unexpectedly, without delay) the official decision, which appoints 9 members of the President’s Council for the transition.
