Haïti à Travers les Pages

  The Theatre of Power: Conille and the CPT in a Game of Charades By Patrick Prézeau Stephenson (Le Francais suit) In the political circus of Haiti, the Presidential Transition Council (CPT) has staged quite the spectacle. Not content with drowning in scandal, three of its members—currently facing corruption charges—have decided to mutate into judges. Today’s question is not whether this genetic mutation is legal, but rather how far they will go to hold on to even a semblance of power. Let’s be clear: the CPT has no authority to dismiss Prime Minister Garry Conille, but that has hardly stopped them. Pushing improvisation to new heights, these presidential advisors, tangled in corruption accusations, seem to believe they can simply replace the judiciary. The Haitian Constitution—yes, that dusty old book—plainly states that the Prime Minister can only be removed by Parliament or by his own resignation.

  How a Second-Term Trump Foreign Policy Would Impact Haiti By Patrick Prézeau Stephenson (Le Francais suit) The reelection of Donald Trump as President of the United States would have profound implications for U.S. foreign policy globally, with unique challenges and implications for Haiti.

This shift could affect Haiti's stability and socio-economic development in complex ways. Prioritizing Security over Development and Democracy One of the primary concerns of a Trump administration would be border security and i...

Aucun parti politique, aucun secteur de la société ne saurait à lui seul, se colleter et résoudre en tout ou en partie, la problématique haïtienne d’aujourd’hui, complexe et multidimensionnelle. Ce que nous vivons depuis plus d'un demi-siècle n’est que la résultante de la dictature trentenaire dont les séquelles peuvent conduire à l’anéantissement de la nation, si rien n’est entrepris dans les plus brefs délais pour arrêter cette descente aux enfers atroce et déshumanisante. La vassalisation de l’administration publique en particulier, le pouvoir judiciaire, le parlement réduit à une chambre des députés « pour assis, contre debout » selon la malice populaire, La DGI, les...
