The impossible dialogue : More than a political crisis, Haiti is going through a crisis of sovereignty

First of all, the highest court in Haiti declared February 7, 2021 the end of the mandate of Mr Jovenel Moise. Technically, in any sovereign country that is ascribed to democracy per current world arrangement, that case is closed. Period. No outside force, entity, nation, etc… have the authority to question the decision of the highest court of a sovereign state in its internal affairs (ref: the Vienna Convention).

Secondly, democracy requires the sacrifice of individualism for the benefits of the common good. In the US, all praises go to men like Al Gore who understand that principle [ref : Bush versus Gore in US elections 2000]. Still in the US, we have seen recently how a recalcitrant president, in contrast to the humility of Al Gore, almost caused incalculable damages to the country with his selfishness.

Now, back to Haiti. The Haitian president utilized a year ago the law of the land (the constitution) to terminate the mandates of the senators and then refused this year to accept the verdict of the Court which applies the same provisions of the constitution to end his mandate! Cynical, isn’t it?

Strangely enough, his cynicism has found support from the new US administration; an administration that just barely escaped victimization by its predecessor that refused to leave office on bogus claim. If there are ever two people who should be revulsed by this kind of behavior from anyone else, wherever in the world, one would think of the current US President and Vice-président, both of them luminaries with law pedigree. Well; surprise!

The new US administration has stunned the world by intervening to blindside a Haitian Court’s decision and to forcefully extend Mr. Moise’s term to another year in office. Furthermore, they flexed their muscles to support his controversial constitutional referendum (in violations of the Haitian constitution that forbids referendum), and to support his much decried elections process while turning a blind eye to the alleged repeated violations of human rights by his regime. Unbelievable!!!

So, here is a question for a casual observer of the situation : Where is the political crisis in this scenario? The answer is « not anymore ». The minute that the US and its auxiliaries (OAS, UN) got involved to side with Jovenel Moise, the issue outflanks the realm of Haitian politics. Subsequent to their decision to oppose the Haitian High Court, they formally wrapped all local politics* under their ingérence. They made the big political decision and let the chips fall into places.

In light of the above considerations, the call for Haitians to « dialogue among themselves to resolve their political crisis », is simply hogwash. Dialogue is mathematically impossible between two ideologically divided camps (patriots and puppets*) when in fact any final consensus, should there ever be any, must be first approved by others. After all, a puppet is a puppet.

Hence, the real dialogue that must take hold is a « frank talk » between a coalition of brave authentic patriots*** and the puppeteers about stopping the ingérence and respecting the country’s sovereignty.

Have a blessed day.
