The crisis at the border has the propensity to redefine the relationship between Haiti, (Ouanaminthe), and the Dominican Republic.
In the first stage of crisis, we wonder if Haiti has a central government or if the current government has qualified people who can deal with a crisis of this magnitude.
The Dominican Government closed the border without an advanced notice. The Haitian government did not summon the Dominican government to compensate the Haitian businesses for their loss of perishable goods. Then, suddenly a suspicious fire burn Haitian businesses only. What a coincidence!
Not a statement from the Haitian government to request a binational investigation. Haiti deserves a government that can defend the interests of its people.
Enough is enough! Whether or not, a foreign force entering soon in Haiti, I call for a New Provisional Government. Qu’il pleut, qu’il tombe, Ariel doit partir !
We call on all sectors to join together and insist on the removal of Ariel.
The success of the Kenyan troops to restore peace and tranquility in the land of Toussaint Louverture is a Win for Haiti and the Haitian people. We need to join hands in the Diaspora to work collaboratively with the AIM to assist Haiti the motherland and start planning to restore our independence.
Life gives us lemon, we drink lemonade. Haiti is about to become again an occupied country. Let make this one, the last occupation. After the occupation, we shall ensure to maintain a great friendship with Kenya and restore our good relations with Africa.
This situation is very complex. We cannot allow other nations to create a rift between us and Kenya and Africa which is the intent. We have to use our brain and imagination to make the best out of this upcoming uncomfortable situation.
The United States and the European will never forgive Haiti for putting an end to the slavery system that was relied on free labor to build most of their wealth. Therefore, they will never put a marshal plan in place to rebuild Haiti. Instead assisting Haiti, the Clinton administration destroyed the rice industry of the country. We have to do it alone and with the assistance of the progressive movement in the US & Canada.
By now, you shall know that this upcoming occupation of Haiti has nothing to do with the gangs. Why the United States, Canada, Brazil and other countries do not use their military to fight the gangs in Chicago, Atlanta, Washington DC and Los Angeles?
We have to use our brain instead of our emotions to deal with this current crisis.
Occupation or not, Ariel and his subalterns must go to pave the way for a transitional government with credible people.
Long live Haiti!
